Abstract
This article examines the lifestyle and attitude of foreign medical students towards health-saving behavior. The study reveals the level of awareness, the prevalence of healthy and harmful habits, as well as the factors influencing the formation of these attitudes in this group of students. The results indicate significant differences in students' behavior related to adaptation to a new cultural environment and stress levels, confirming the need to develop specialized prevention programs. The presented data contribute to a deep understanding of the needs of international students in the field of health and maintaining a healthy lifestyle while studying abroad.
