The aim of this study was to investigate the role of food pattern in predicting students' weight, lifestyle and quality of life.Methods: The research method was descriptive-correlational and the statistical population was all students of Mohaghegh Ardabili University in the academic year of 2016-2017. The sample size was considered 280 students selected randomly from the statistical population. To collect data, the Quality of Life Questionnaire World Health Organization's 1996 (IRQOL), Health Promotion Lifestyle Questionnaire Walker, Kerr, Pender and Sachrist (1990), and Nutrition Table were used, and SPSS 22 software was used to analyze the data. Pearson correlation and regression correlation tests were also used to analyze the data.Results: The results showed that there was a significant correlation between food pattern and weight, lifestyle and quality of life (r=0.258, sig = 0.027, r = 0.057, sig = 0.000, and r=0.677, sig= 0.012 respectively).Conclusion: The finding showed that the component of food pattern can predict 60% of weight, but cannot be a good predictor of lifestyle and quality of life due to the insignificance of regression model.
