The scores of the veterinary students for each domain of the SF-36 are as follows: 86 in Physical Functioning, 63 in Physical Role Limitations, 50 in Emotional Role Limitations, 51 in Energy/Pep/Vitality, 55 in Mental Health, 59 in Social Role Functioning, 70 in Bodily Pain, and 57 in General Health Perceptions. Statistically significant differences were found between the average scores of the SF-36 domains by year level. While the average score for physical functioning among the first-year students is 90.96, it falls to 84.87 among the fifth-year students. The difference between the average scores of these year levels is statistically significant. The same applies to physical role limitations. While the average score for physical role limitations among the first-year students is 72, it falls to 59 among the third-year and fifth-year students, and the difference between them is statistically significant. While the average score for emotional role limitations among the first-year students is 60.07, it falls to 46.98 among the second-year students and 47.69 among the third-year students, and the difference between them is statistically significant. A statistically significant difference was found between the scores for the domain vitality among the second-year and fifth-year students. While the average score for the domain mental health is 59 among the first-year students, it falls to 53 among the second- and third-year students and the difference between the average scores of the first-year and second- and third-year students are statistically significant. However, no significant difference was found between the scores of students in different years of their education for the domains social role functioning, bodily pain and general health perceptions. As to the scores of the students for the domains of the SF-36 by their gender, the average scores for physical functioning, energy/pep/vitality, bodily pain and general health perceptions are higher among male students, and the difference is statistically significant. No significant difference was found between the scores of male and female students in physical role limitations, emotional role limitations, mental health and social functioning. Only for physical role limitations, a statistically significant difference was found between the scores of students with different accommodation status. This difference arises out of the difference between the students living with their parents and the students living with their friends. No significant difference was found between the average scores of students with different accommodation status in the other domains of the scale.

‡ One-Way Analysis of Variance
Ψ Kruskal Wallis
Statistically significant differences were found between the individual monthly income groups of veterinary students in several domains of the SF-36 quality of life scale. In the domain of physical role limitations, the average scores of the income groups of below 300 TRY (Turkish Lira), 300–499 TRY and 750–999 TRY, and the income groups of 500–749 TRY, 1000–1499 TRY and above 1500 TRY are significantly different from each other. In the domain of emotional role limitations, the average scores of different income groups are significantly different from each other, and the income group above 1500 is significantly different from the other income groups. In the domain of mental health, the average score of the income group above 1500 TRY is higher than that of all other groups, and the difference between them is statistically significant. In the domain of bodily pain, the difference between the scores of the income group 300–499 TRY and the income group above 1500 TRY was found to be statistically significant. In the domain of general health perceptions, the average score of the income group above 1500 TRY is higher than that of the income groups 300–499 TRY and below 300 TRY, and the difference between them is statistically significant. In the domains of physical functioning, energy/pep/vitality and social functioning, no statistically significant difference was found between the average scores of the students in different income groups.
Only in the domain of energy/pep/vitality, a statistically significant difference was found between the average scores of the students in different groups of monthly expenditure on foods. A statistically significant difference was found between the average scores of the income groups below 150 TRY and 500 TRY and above in the domain of energy/pep/vitality. No significant difference was found between the scores of students in different groups of monthly individual expenditure on foods in the domains of physical role limitations, emotional role limitations, mental health and social functioning.
Significant differences were found between the average scores of the students in different groups of monthly individual expenditure on animal products in various domains of the quality of life scale. A statistically significant difference was found between the group of students spending 50 TRY or below and the group of students spending 100–149 TRY in the domain of physical functioning. A statistically significant difference was found between the group of students spending 50 TRY or below and the group of students spending 200–299 TRY in the domain of energy/pep/vitality. A statistically significant difference was found between the group of students spending 50 TRY or below and the group of students spending 150–199 TRY and 200–299 TRY in the domain of mental health. A statistically significant difference was found between the group of students spending 50 TRY or below and 50–99 TRY and the group of students spending 200–299 TRY in the domain of bodily pain. A statistically significant difference was found between the group of students spending 50 TRY or below and the group of students spending 150–199 TRY in the domain of general health perceptions. It was calculated that the monthly average individual income of veterinary students in Turkey was 919.55 TRY, their monthly average expenditure on food 293.07 TRY, and their monthly average expenditure on animal products 111.07 TRY.

Table 4 shows that there is a significant positive relationship between monthly consumption of mutton and goat meat and emotional role limitations at a rate of 8.1%, a significant positive relationship between monthly consumption of mutton and goat meat and vitality at a rate of 7.3%, monthly consumption of mutton and goat meat and bodily pain at a rate of 6.1%, and monthly consumption of mutton and goat meat and general health perceptions at a rate of 7.1%. Additionally, a significant positive relationship was found between monthly consumption of poultry meat and mental health at a rate of 7.4% and a significant positive relationship between monthly consumption of poultry meat and bodily pain at a rate of 6.3%. Furthermore, a significant positive relationship was found between the monthly consumption of fish meat and vitality at a rate of 9.4% and a significant positive relationship between monthly consumption of fish meat and mental health at a rate of 6.3%, and a significant positive relationship between monthly consumption of fish meat and general health perceptions at a rate of 6.7%. No significant relationship was found between monthly consumption of beef/veal, milk, cheese, yoghurt, butter and eggs and the domains of the quality of life scale. The monthly average consumption amounts of beef/veal, mutton/goat meat, poultry meat and fish meat are 1,253 g, 258 g, 1,168 g and 270 g, respectively. The monthly average consumption amounts of milk, cheese, yoghurt and butter are 5.12 l, 739 g, 1,512 g and 460 g, respectively. The monthly average consumption amount of eggs is approximately 23.
