Abstract: The purpose of this cross-sectional descriptive research was to investigate the variables related to nutrition literacy among students at Loei Rajabhat University. A sample group of 1,020 people were undergraduate students, years 1 - 4, academic year 2021. Data were collected between October and December 2021 using a questionnaire consisting of 1) personal information and 2) nutrition knowledge, which had a reliability value of 0.92. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics as well as the Point Biserial, Eta, and Pearson correlation coefficients were utilized. According to the study's findings, the majority of them had intermediate nutrition literacy (61.3%), poor nutrition literacy (33.6%), and high nutrition literacy (5.1%). The following variables had a substantial impact on nutrition literacy: gender (rpb= 0.076, p = 0.016), faculty (ETA = 0.359, p < 0.001), daily food and beverage expenses (rps= -0.193, p < 0.001), level of education (rps= -0.214, p < 0.001), and number of sources of nutrition-related information obtained (ETA = 0.513, p < 0.001). Based on the study's findings, policies and activities should be established to increase students' nutritional literacy and promote the development of good nutritional health.
