    Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the water/fluid intake patterns of students and affecting factors. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, water/fluid intake and affecting factors among 4922 students studying in primary, secondary and high schools in Ortahisar district of Trabzon province in 2017-2018 academic year were investigated. As the data collection tool, a questionnaire form evaluating sociodemographic characteristics and water/fluid consumption patterns was used. Results: The plain water intake of the students was determined as 1199 ± 572 mL/day and the total fluid intake was found as 1611 ± 688 mL/day. In addition, it was revealed that daily fluid intake of 2098 (62.6%) of the students was below the sufficient amount advised by National Academy of Medicine (NAM). It was found that the amount of daily fluid intake of boys, older children, those whose maternal education level is high school or low, those who have maximum two siblings, and those who are not engaged in sportive activities was inadequate. Conclusion: Daily fluid intake of more than half of the students is below the amount advised by NAM for children by age and gender groups. Considering the possible adverse consequences of this situation on health, it is suggested that appropriate interventions should be made to increase fluid intake of children.
