Statistically significant differences were found in the sub-dimensions of positive nutrition habits and bad nutrition habits from the healthy nutrition habits according to the educational status, bad nutrition habits according to the working status, and bad nutrition habits from the healthy nutrition habits according to the smoking status (p>0.05).
