PURPOSE: This study aimed to identify the predictors of female nursing students' body mass index (BMI), including social jetlag. DESIGN AND METHODS: This secondary data analysis of a cross-sectional survey conducted in 2015 included data of 304 female undergraduate nursing students. A hierarchical regression analysis was performed to identify the predictors of BMI. FINDINGS: Social jetlag was the most potent predictor of BMI, followed by premenstrual symptoms and sleep quality. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: This study presents foundational data for developing interventions for social jetlag management as a strategy to prevent obesity in female nursing students by identifying factors predicting BMI.
