The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between attitudes toward health promotion and attitudes toward renewable energy sources among young adults. The study was conducted among 504 medical students, with an average age of 22.33 years. The mean level of intensity of pro-renewable energy attitude was 9.2 points (out of 15 points), and the mean level of pro-health attitude was 16.85 points (out of 22 points). Statistical analysis was used to assess the relationship between variables. All values of the coefficient of statistical significance ( p ) below 0.05 were interpreted as indicating significant relationships. Pro-renewable energy attitudes were higher among women ( p = 0.043), left-leaning individuals ( p = 0.001), and part-time students ( p = 0.032). Pro-health attitudes were higher among individuals with strong religious commitment ( p = 0.001), those who rated their health as very good ( p = 0.001), and those studying dietetics ( p = 0.027). It turned out that the higher the level of health-promoting attitude, the higher the level of pro-ecological attitude ( p < 0.001). Attitudes in favor of renewable energy sources varied by gender, political views, and field of study. Pro-health attitudes varied by religious commitment, self-assessed health, and field of study. The higher the level of health-promoting attitude, the higher the level of pro-renewable energy attitude.
