Current participants recruited future participants through social networks and personal contacts. Data was collected using a self\u2010reported questionnaire that included several scales: Nomophobia questionnaire (NMP\u2010Q) for nomophobia, Eating Attitude Test 7\u2010item (EAT\u20107) for disordered eating, Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7\u2010item (GAD\u20107) for generalized anxiety disorder, and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ\u20109) for depression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean age was 22.22\u2009\u00b1\u20093.86 years, and 63.2% were females. The results of the mediation analysis showed that depression (indirect effect: Standardized Beta\u2009=\u20090.03; BootSE\u2009=\u20090.02; Boot CI 0.002; 0.07), but not anxiety (indirect effect: Beta\u2009=\u20090.0004; BootSE\u2009=\u20090.01; Boot CI \u22120.01; 0.01), partially mediated the association between nomophobia and disordered eating. Higher nomophobia was significantly associated with higher depression, whereas higher depression was significantly associated with more disordered eating. Finally, higher nomophobia was significantly associated with more disordered eating. The proportion mediated was 0.196, meaning that approximately 20% of the total association between nomophobia and disordered eating was accounted for by depressive symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study revealed a significant positive association between nomophobia and disordered eating, with depression as a mediating factor.
