The association of binge eating with internet addiction, body shape concerns, and BMI among university students in the United Arab Emirates
This study underscores the need for targeted national initiatives and awareness programs that promote balanced food consumption, healthy internet use, and increased physical activity among young adults of both sexes. By fostering these healthy habits, such interventions can reduce the risk of binge eating disorder and support overall mental and physical well-being in this population.
