Results\: The research results indicated statistical correlation \(p<0,001\) between the students’ age and gender and the prevalence of overweight and obesity. Obesity \(12,2%\) and overweight \(43,8%\) were more prevalent in females over 25 years than in other groups \(respectively in females under 25 years obesity 0,85%, overweight 8,55%\; in males obesity 8,40%, overweight 29,41%\). Body composition analysis confirmed that waist circumference exceeded the norm in 50% of females over 25 years, while 92,31% of males and all females under 25 years had normal waist circumference. Older female students had more body fat measured in \[kg\] and higher volume of body fat \[%\] than students from other groups. Only 20% of females over 25 years had normal body fat \[%\] and body fat \[kg\] as compared to more favourable results in the group of males and younger females with over 40% and 80% with normal body fat respectively. The analysis of correlation between particular body components according to the BIA method indicated significant and positive correlation \(p<0,001\) between\: skeletal muscle mass and fat free mass, body fat measured in \[kg\] and in \[%\] and visceral adipose tissue mass, waist circumference and visceral adipose tissue mass and basal metabolic rate. A significant and positive correlation was found between BMI and body fat in \[kg\] and body fa"]
