    Background and aim: In this study, it was aimed to examine the relationship between COVID-19 phobia and adherence to the MD in university students. Materials and Methods: This research in cross-sectional design was conducted with 351 students studying at Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University located in the Mediterrenan region of Türkiye between September 2021 - December 2021. The data was collected using Personal Information Form, Mediterranean Diet Adherence Scale (MEDAS) and COVID-19 Phobia Scale. Results: The study included a total of 351 students 254 females (72.4%) and 97 males (27.6%) with a mean age of 20.4 ± 2.1 years. When the relationship between the MEDAS score and various variables was examined, no significant relationship was found between gender, smoking, BMI and meal skipping (p>0.05), while the MEDAS score of those with high income status was found to be significantly higher than those with low income status (p<0.05). There was a strong negative correlation between the MEDAS score and COVID-19 Fobia Scale and its subgrups. It was observed that as the COVID-19 Fobia Scale scores increase, the MEDAS scores decrease (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Especially during the pandemic period, both the awareness level of the society on healthy nutrition should be increased and its implementation as a lifestyle should be supported. This situation can reduce the fear and phobia in the society. © Mattioli 1885.
