Abstract: The work aims to identify the awareness level on obesity and life style of the young students from the higher economic education system. To carry out this research, based on the body mass index, a sample constituted of 25 students (12 overweight and 13 obese) of 18-25 years old, within the Academy of Economic Studies, was formed, who were questioned through a poll questionnaire comprising 21 items. The values obtained were statistically processed and interpreted, highlighting that most of the students who answered to the questionnaire have at least one overweight member in their families, and that movement is on last place on their top hobbies for spending leisure, for most of them.
