Prevalence and risk factors of disordered eating risk among Yemeni medical students: A national multicenter cross-sectional study

Abstract

Disordered eating risk was common among Yemeni medical students and was associated with multiple sociodemographic, medical, and psychological factors. Given the cross-sectional design and reliance on self-reported data, causal relationships cannot be established. The findings suggest that consideration may be given to screening and supportive mental health resources within medical training institutions.
