Description
Elisa De Taevernier and others studied eating illnesses among French undergraduate students, in 2026. School students face increased eating illness risk from academic pressure, financial strain, and social stressors, yet rate and linked factors in France, with gender gaps and barriers to care, were partly documented.
A snapshot online survey estimated eating illness rate by self-report and tested associations with gender identity, socioeconomic hardship, field of study, lifestyle behaviours, mental comorbidities, and healthcare avoidance using multivariable logit fit. Gender gaps and care barriers emerged clearly. Universities gain evidence for aimed stopping and for lowering barriers that keep students from help.
