Abstract	Purpose: The present study aimed to examine the relationship between demographic variables and Internet addiction among 400 students in Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences from 2012-2013. Method: 400 students were randomly selected as the research subjects. Young and Camberli's Internet Addiction Questionnaire was used as the data collection scale. Then software SPSS 17 Was used to analyze the data. Results: The results showed that the majority of the study populations (182 subjects) were common internet, and 175 users were at risk of over using, and only 43 were found as internet over users and had internet addiction. Among the participants in the study were female and 129 were male, 331 people were single and 69 people were married. The above table shows five demographic factors associated with internet addiction. The value of chi-square showed that factors such as gender, marital status, age, educational level and discipline are all associated with Internet addiction. Such a significant relationship was also found between Internet addiction and style of internet use.
