Uncontrolled eating was significantly associated with older age, higher perceived sociocultural pressures, lower body image flexibility, studying at China West Normal University, and fatness concern. Emotional eating was associated with higher perceived sociocultural pressures, body dissatisfaction and fatness concern. Cognitive restraint was associated with higher perceived sociocultural pressures, fatness concern, and body dissatisfaction. Participants who saw themselves as too fat had higher odds of showing emotional eating and cognitive restraint, while those who felt too thin had lower odds of showing cognitive restraint.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Perceived sociocultural pressures, body dissatisfaction, and weight-related concerns were key predictors of disordered eating behaviors, highlighting the need for multifaceted interventions tailored to these psychological and sociocultural factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2026.1679944","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,17]],"date-time":"2026-02-17T06:34:44Z","timestamp":1771310084000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Disordered eating behaviors among female undergraduates in Sichuan, China: key associated factors from a province-wide survey"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Danli","family":"He","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health Education and Counselling, School of Foreign Languages, Yibin University","place":["Yibin, China"]},{"name":"Centre for Community Health Studies, Faculty of Health Sciences, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia","place":["Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ching Sin","family":"Siau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Community Health Studies, Faculty of Health Sciences, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia","place":["Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hui Chin","family":"Koo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Applied Sciences, Tunku Abdul Rahman University of Management and Technology","place":["Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Choy Qing","family":"Cham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Community Health Studies, Faculty of Health Sciences, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia","place":["Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masoumeh","family":"Alavi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Applied Psychology, Griffith University","place":["Brisbane, QLD, Australia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Agnes Shu Sze","family":"Chong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Community Health Studies, Faculty of Health Sciences, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia","place":["Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Harvinder Kaur Gilcharan","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Community Health Studies, Faculty of Health Sciences, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia","place":["Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"377","DOI":"10.3390\/nu11020377","article-title":"Eating behaviors and food cravings: influence of age, sex, BMI and FTO genotype","volume":"11","author":"Abdella","year":"2019","journal-title":"Nutrients"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3215","DOI":"10.1007\/s40519-022-01452-0","article-title":"The prevalence and risk factors of screen-based disordered eating among university students: a global systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression","volume":"27","author":"Alhaj","year":"2022","journal-title":"Eat.
