Description
Shromona Das and co-authors study how body shape concerns, mental health, and weight relate to eating attitudes in college students. The group surveyed students aged eighteen to twenty-three at college, using questionnaires on eating attitudes, body shape worry, and common mental disorders. They also took four body measures under a standard protocol to gauge fat levels.
In their 2026 report, men scored higher on the eating attitudes test and on dieting, and they showed higher fat measures than women. Women more often reported high stress, severe anxiety, and high waist measures. Body shape concern rose along with disordered eating risk, and the authors used regression to find which factors best predicted that risk.
