Background: Childhood obesity in Croatia is a cause for concern and requires urgent action by society. Objective: The aim of the study is to assess the knowledge and lifestyle habits of students and to investigate their knowledge about the influence of lifestyle habits on the occurrence of obesity. Methods: The respondents were nursing students. An anonymous questionnaire was used to analyze students' attitudes about the causes and consequences of obesity, and descriptive statistics were used. Results: There were 101 respondents, 80 women and 21 men, with an average BMI of 26.1%. Obesity is considered a public health problem by 95%. 53% eat breakfast regularly, 53% consume fruits and vegetables daily, 13% eat fish several times per week, and 23% consume snacks and sweets daily. 62% of students consume alcoholic beverages several times a month. Regularly smoke tobacco 27%. 68% of students exercise. 65% believe that the diet in kindergartens and schools is not age-appropriate. 81% of educators and parents are not adequately educated about obesity, and as many as 97% need additional education to prevent obesity. 95% of students believe that health education is needed in all kindergartens and schools.
