To study this problem, the role of inactivity as a cause of weight gain among students was considered. The main measures to pre-vent weight gain are also given. After studying the theory about this problem, a questionnaire was compiled for students of the medical institute of RUDN on the Google Forms.

After analyzing the results of the online survey, the main factors of weight gain among students of the medical institute of RUDN were identified, and then recommendations for the pre-ven-tion of weight gain were compiled on the basis of these factors.
