Background
Nowadays, obesity has become a public health problem that requires a multidisciplinary approach in prevention and therapy. In this context, the research aims to highlight some aspects that can be used in the management of obesity prevention, starting from personal motivation as a determining factor of individuals’ behaviors.

Material and methods
The objective of this study was to apply, using a pioneering method, the previously existing instrument “Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II” among students within the field of social sciences from Romanian universities (496 respondents). The statistical program used for the analysis of the results was SPSS statistics v26.

Results
The results revealed correlations between the Body Mass Index profile of respondents, their motivation, nutritional habits, adoption of a healthy lifestyle, and participation in health courses.

Conclusions
The study provided conclusions supported by the results, as well as implications for practice. Statistically, the newly constructed concept of motivation was found to be related to the overall score of healthy lifestyle and nutrition.
