Cross-sectional analysis reveals eco-anxiety links to eating disorders in university students, suggesting psychological intervention implications.

Higher eco-anxiety levels correlate with increased risk of bulimic and restrictive eating disorders in students.
Approximately 47.3% of surveyed university students screened positive for a probable eating disorder, with women showing higher rates than men.
Multivariate analysis indicates that the relationship between eco-anxiety and eating disorders may be partially mediated by depression.
The findings highlight the need for mental health services to address eco-anxiety as a potential risk factor for disordered eating behaviors.

Tavolacci et al. (2025) studied this question.
