* p < 0.05. ** p < 0.01. ^ No longer significant after false discovery rate adjustment. The PSS-10 was employed to measure perceived stress; higher scores indicate greater perceived stress. Dietary risk was measured using the STC questionnaire, with higher scores indicating higher dietary risk. Restrained, uncontrolled, and emotional eating was measured using the TFEQ-R18, in which a higher score indicates more frequent engagement in these eating behaviors. Sleep quality was measured by PSQI scores. A higher PSQI score reflects poorer sleep quality.
