Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals emotional eating linked to health perception and life satisfaction in nursing and medical students.

Key Points

  • Emotional eating was prevalent, affecting 78% of women and 66.8% of men, indicating significant gender differences in this behavior.
  • Students with average self-perceived health had a lower prevalence of emotional eating, with an adjusted odds ratio of 0.88 compared to those with low health.
  • Cross-sectional analysis assessed 1213 health science students, evaluating health perception, life satisfaction, and emotional eating behaviors.
  • Findings suggest the need to enhance mental health programs at universities, particularly addressing emotional regulation in students.
