Introduction: Factors influencing the emergence of civilization diseases include adverse lifestyle changes and stress.

Objectives: The main aim of the paper is to present the results of the research aimed to map the presence of risk factors of civilization diseases in the life of students of the Faculty of Health, to evaluate the overall quality of their lives and the quality of their mental health.

Methods and design: The quantitative questionnaire method of the partially modified standardized WHOOL-BREF questionnaire was used, the mental health scale and physical measurements of blood glucose and body mass index (BMI) values were used also. Statistical methods were used to analyze the data. The sample consisted of 203 students of the Faculty of Health of the Slovak Medical University, from department of Nursing, Physiotherapy, Emergency Health Care and Laboratory Examination Methods in Health Care.

Results and discussion: The results of the research show that the average values of all physical parameters were normal. In the BMI verzus systolic TK analysis, statistic dependence between BMI < 18.5 vs BMI < (25; 30) was found out: p = 0.00127 (overweight, higher pressure than underweight) α = 0.01; BMI < 18.5 vs BMI ≥ 30: p = 0.0078 (obesity, higher pressure than underweight) α = 0.01; BMI < (18.5; 25) vs BMI < (25; 30): p = 0.00126 (overweight, higher pressure than normal weight) α = 0.01; BMI < (18.5; 25) vs BMI ≥ 30: p = 0.0332 (obesity, higher pressure than normal weight) α = 0.05. The analysis of the results confirmed statistically significantly lower values in the items: satisfaction with life, living, functioning, faith and philosophy. In the assessment of mental health, 12.81 % (26) of the students confirmed impaired mental health at a statistically significant percentage difference (two-fold equivalence test; z = -14.9880; zkrit = -2.3263; p < 0.0001; (p = 4.398.10-51)). In the evaluation of mental health, the worst score was achieved by students in the field of nursing.
Conclusion: Protecting and consolidating human health is an important part of our society. The decisive factor in this process is also the student as a future professional healthcare worker who performs his / her work in the relevant medical profession. Consumable lifestyle often focuses on lifestyle to meet economic needs and thus significantly distorts the balance of physical, mental and psychosocial aspects of human personality. The results of the survey cannot be unambiguously negative or positive. Active approach to health, health culture and competence are both social and individual responsibilities. The results of the survey did not confirm this aspect despite average values.
