“…Many studies show that mindful eating is lower and the risk of food addiction is higher in obese individuals (4,(25)(26)(27). Although studies found differences according to gender in mindful eating and food addiction scores (4,14), some studies have found no differences (15,16). In this study, there was no difference in scores according to gender.…”

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between addictive-like eating behavior, mindful eating, and obesity and the factors affecting them. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted with 459 adults (47.7% male, 52.3% female, mean age 27.2±10.52 years). The study data were obtained with a web-based questionnaire. The questionnaire form includes the socio-demographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements, Addiction-Like Eating Behaviors Scale (ALEBS), and Mindful Eating Questionnaire (MEQ). Results: 36.6% of the participants were overweight or obese. The mean MEQ score was 3.3±0.47, and the ALEBS score was 39.9±11.69. Smokers had a significantly higher ALEBS score (p=0.027). While the MEQ score was significantly lower in obese individuals (p<0.05), the ALEBS score was significantly higher (p<0.05). A negative correlation was found between the total MEQ score and the total ALEBS score (r= -0.618; p<0.001). BMI was negatively correlated with the MEQ score (r= -0.149; p= 0.001); it was positively correlated with Appetitive derive and Low diet control subscales (r= 0.307; p<0.001; r= 0.380; p<0.001, respectively). Conclusion: This study supports that mindful eating and addiction-like eating behavior scores may related with body weight. Smoking may be a factor associated with food addiction. In preventing and treating obesity, early intervention studies are essential to increase the mindful eating in individuals and reduce food addiction.

“…This result is consistent with a Chinese study from 2019, which reported a mean score of 37.1 (SD 8.0) among university students [ 34 ]. However, it is a little lower than another Chinese study and a Russian study, which showed mean SDS scores for university students of 44.4 (SD 9.9) and 47.8 (SD 10), respectively [ 35 , 36 ]. In contrast, the mean GAD-7 scores reported in previous studies (including a Chinese, an Ethiopian, and an American study) were more than 6 in university students [ 37 , 38 , 39 ].…”

Physical exercise has beneficial effects on human health, and several studies have examined the association between exercise and mental health. However, most of these studies focused on exercise intensity, duration, or frequency. Evidence for the association between the duration of maintaining an exercise habit and mental illness is lacking, especially in young adulthood—a crucial period that bridges adolescence and adulthood. This study investigated the association between the duration of keeping an exercise habit and mental illness and life attitude among Chinese university students. A total of 11,392 university students participated in this study (6866 men and 4526 women). The duration of keeping an exercise habit was evaluated using a questionnaire with relevant questions. Exercise habit was defined as exercising for longer than 30 min per session and more than twice a week. Mental illness consisted of two elements: depressive symptoms—assessed using the Zung Self-rating Depression Scale, and anxiety symptoms—assessed using the seven-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale. Life attitude was assessed using a questionnaire with relevant questions. Multivariate logistic regression analysis examined the adjusted association between the duration of keeping an exercise habit and mental illness and life attitude. In the final adjusted model, compared to the no exercise category, the odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of depressive symptoms were 0.80 (0.70, 0.91) for those with an exercise habit of 1–4 months, and 0.72 (0.63, 0.83) for those with one of >4 months (p for trend <0.001). Additionally, when compared to participants with no exercise habit, the adjusted odds ratios (95% CIs) for anxiety symptoms were 1.01 (0.90, 1.14) for those with a habit of 1–4 months and 0.78 (0.69, 0.88) for those with one of >4 months (p for trend =0.001). A longer duration of keeping an exercise habit was also significantly associated with positive life attitudes. Our results showed that a long duration of keeping an exercise habit was significantly associated with a lower prevalence of mental illness among university students. Further, maintaining a more prolonged exercise habit may benefit individuals’ mental health in young adulthood.

“…However, until now, the associations between different types of meat and food addiction had not been analyzed. A recent study evaluated the association of some types of high-fat meats with food addiction in schoolchildren and university students [ 29 ]. The results, though, were non-significant between the consumption of high-fat meat and food addiction.…”

“…The results, though, were non-significant between the consumption of high-fat meat and food addiction. Nonetheless, when asked about foods that were problematic for them, in addition to including chocolate, potato chips or soft drinks, students pointed to hamburgers in the top ten [ 29 ]. In our study, those with unhealthy consumption of red/processed meats obtained higher food addiction scores.…”

The transition to college is a decisive stage for the acquisition of eating habits that continue into adulthood. The aim of this study is to assess the consumption of healthy elements of the Mediterranean diet in a group of university students and to evaluate whether the consumption pattern was related to sex, Body Mass Index (BMI), food addiction or the amount of physical activity performed. A total of 515 nursing students participated. The Mediterranean diet adherence questionnaire (PREDIMED), the food addiction scale (YFAS 2.0) and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) were completed. For data analysis, multivariate analysis was performed with multiple linear regression and adjusted for sex, age, and BMI. The results showed that females consumed various types of meats (white/red, processed) in a healthier proportion (p < 0.05). Students that consumed more than one per day (unhealthy) of red/processed meats (mean difference (MD) = −0.49; 95% CI: −0.83; −0.15), soft drinks (MD = −0.82; 95% CI: 82–1.36; −0.27) and pastries (MD = −0.63; 95% CI: −0.97; −0.30) displayed higher food addiction scores. In addition, students who skipped breakfast also scored higher on food addiction (MD = 0.75; 95% CI: 0.31–1.19). Higher values of physical activity were observed in those who presented a healthy consumption of vegetables (MD = 140.86; 95% CI: 72.71–209.02), fruit (MD = 145.78; 95% CI: 69.35–222.21), legumes (MD = 136.46; 95% CI: 60.43–212.50) and nuts (MD = 74.36; 95% CI: 14.23–134.49). Students who consumed more red or processed meats, more pastries and more soft drinks had higher values of food addiction, while those who consumed more vegetables, fruits, legumes, and nuts had more minutes of physical activity per week. These findings invite us to insist on expanding knowledge regarding the health benefits of consuming a Mediterranean-type diet as a whole. The healthy consumption of fish, fruit and legumes should also be emphasized, especially among university students.
