This research aims to examine medical profiles and risk factors of female and male students receiving education at different department of the university. ITU students constitute the research population. ECG, pulse, body mass index, blood values, urine values, and spirometric measures were carried out on both groups included in sample group; and those students included in risk group. As a result, the data obtained were taken under control by doctors serving at the medico-social facility of our university. In examination of blood values, cholesterol levels of those groups doing regular exercise or not doing any exercise were found to be significantly higher compared to those doing exercise. In the same direction, body fat levels of the groups were different on a significant level. No considerable finding was detected in urine values gathered.
