      cross-sectional study.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Understanding gender differences in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) 
      and obesity risk among university students is critical for the development of 
      health promotion interventions. Mindful eating focuses on how and why eating 
      behavior occurs rather than what is eaten. Current research on this topic is 
      limited in the university-aged population. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to 
      (1) assess gender differences in risk of developing T2DM and elevated body mass 
      index (BMI)/obesity; (2) explore the mindful eating levels according to the 
      gender perspective; and (3) evaluate the relationship between mindful eating, 
      BMI, and the risk of T2DM among young Turkish adults. METHOD: This 
      cross-sectional correlational study was conducted in Karabuk University 
      University, Turkey, during the 2017-2018 university calendar year. Eight hundred 
      young adults were selected by the convenience sampling method. Data analyses used 
      were the independent t test and Pearson correlational statistics. RESULTS: BMI 
      values of males were significantly higher than those of females (p < 0.01). There 
      were no significant differences between males and females regarding the risk of 
      developing T2DM (p > 0.05). Mindful eating was significantly associated with BMI 
      and the risk of developing T2DM in the young adult populations (p < 0.01). 
      CONCLUSIONS: Our findings can provide a basic reference for developing 
      interventions that improve healthy eating habits and weight-loss strategies.
