“…As in previous research on IWQOL-Lite [11], significant differences were found between obese men and women on the self-esteem scale in both countries, indicating a poorer quality of life in this area for women. In this way, feeling fat and dissatisfied with one's body has been significantly related to percent overweight, perceived social pressure toward thinness, and social comparison regarding weight in women [21,22]. By contrast, other studies in overweight and obese subjects not suitable for bariatric surgery failed to find differences between genders [15,23], suggesting that the effect of gender on quality of life could be less obvious among lower-BMI groups [24].…”

“…In a study, the risk of eating attitude disorder was found to be higher in students studying in the field of sports than in students receiving nutrition education [ 60 ]. In another study, it was reported that the food practices of students who received nutrition education were affected, but this was not enough to obtain a healthy diet and reduce body dissatisfaction [ 61 ]. A study by Tavolacci et al [ 8 ] reveals that there was no significant difference in terms of eating disorder risk between students studying both in the field of health and in other fields.…”

Purpose. This study aims to examine the relationship between physical activity, eating attitude, and bigorexia nervosa among university students. Method. A questionnaire form consisting of sociodemographic characteristics, eating habits, the Eating Attitude Scale (EAT-40), the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and the Muscle Appearance Satisfaction Scale (MASS) was conducted on undergraduate students at Üsküdar University. Results. There were 1006 students who participated in this study with a mean age of 22.58 ± 2.87 years. The median “muscle appearance satisfaction” score of the obese students was statistically higher than the normal weight and underweight students. The median score for “Obesity Anxiety” was statistically higher in underweight students than in obese ones. A one-unit increase in IPAQ scores was related to an elevation of 24.9% in the MASS and a decrease of 17.9% in the EAT-40 scores, while a one-unit increase in MASS scores was related to a reduction of 12.5% in the EAT-40 scores. Conclusion. Eating attitude is associated with bigorexia nervosa, and as MASS scores increase, EAT-40 scores decrease and as IPAQ scores increase, and EAT-40 scores decrease. In other words, as physical activity increases, muscle strength satisfaction elevates, and in parallel with this increase, a positive eating attitude improves.

Objective: To evaluate diets in terms of nutritional characteristics and quality from the perspectives of health, greenhouse gas emissions (GHGEs) and possible associations with each other in a representative sample of students at a public university. Design: Cross-sectional. Dietary intake was evaluated with a validated food frequency questionnaire, and diet quality was assessed through the Healthy Eating Index (HEI-2010) and MedDietScore (MDS). GHGE data were obtained from the literature. In addition, sex, socioeconomic status (SES) and body fat (BF) status were analysed as covariates. Setting: Basque Autonomous Community, Spain. Participants: 26,165 healthy adults aged 18-28 years. Results: Student diets were characterised by low consumption of carbohydrates (38·72% of total energy intake (TEI)) and a high intake of lipids (39·08% of TEI). Over half of the participants had low dietary quality. The low-emitting diets were more likely to be consumed by subjects with low HEI-2010 scores (β: 0·039 kg eCO2/1000 kcal per day) and high MDS scores (β: −0·023 kg eCO2/1000 kcal per day), after controlling for sex, SES and BF status. Both the low-emitting and healthy diets were more likely to be consumed by women and by those with normal BF percentage. Conclusions: UPV/EHU university students’ diets were characterised by moderate quality from a nutritional perspective and moderate variation in the size of carbon footprints. In this population, diets of the highest quality were not always those with the lowest diet-related GHGEs; this relationship depended in part on the constructs and scoring criteria of diet quality indices used.
