However, they often face significant mental health challenges, including anxiety, depressive, and insomnia symptoms, which are exacerbated by academic pressures, financial stress, and poor dietary habits. Hence, this research sought to examine the prevalence of mental health issues among university students in Bangladesh and explore potential links between these issues and financial prioritization and nutrition.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This cross\u2010sectional survey was carried out among 450 students attending Noakhali Science and Technology University (NSTU), Bangladesh using a structured questionnaire. Anxiety, depressive, and insomnia symptoms were assessed using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder\u20107 (GAD\u20107), Patient Health Questionnaire\u20109 (PHQ\u20109), and Athens Insomnia Scale\u20108 (AIS\u20108), respectively. Nutritional behavior was assessed using the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile\u2010II (HPLP\u2010II) nutrition subscale, and financial priority was evaluated using a culturally adapted version of the Castellanos and Holcomb financial prioritization instrument. Multivariable linear regression was used to examine the associations between financial priority and mental health outcomes, whereas multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the associations between nutrition and mental health outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The prevalence of anxiety, depressive, and insomnia symptoms was 78.9%, 90.4%, and 63.6%, respectively, Anxiety, depressive, and insomnia symptoms were significantly interconnected, with positive associations between anxiety and depressive symptoms (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.154,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), anxiety and insomnia symptoms (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.183,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), and depressive and insomnia symptoms (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.192,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
