Results: The mean risky health behaviors scores (58.68±7.53) of students in our study were found to be high, and their mean satisfaction with life scores (16.75±4.57) were found to be moderate. The mean risky health behavior scores are high and mean life satisfaction scores are low for male students, those whose grade point averages are 2.51 and below, those whose parents education level is secondary education and below, those who live away from their family, those whose incomes are less than their expenses, and those whose general health status and interpersonal relationship level is “poor”.
