Eating disorders symptoms and associated risk factors among medical students in France: a nationwide cross-sectional study
ED symptoms are highly prevalent among medical students, particularly women, gender minorities, and students in the early years of training. This burden is compounded by mental health symptoms, exposure to violence, financial insecurity, and care avoidance. These findings underscore the need for targeted, multidimensional prevention strategies and easily accessible mental health services tailored to the needs of medical students.
