(2025) investigated how academic burnout and internet addiction mediate the link between BMI categories (normal weight vs. overweight/obesity) and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress in medical students.

The findings suggest that overweight or obese students face a greater risk for mental health challenges, but these effects might be alleviated through interventions targeting burnout and internet addiction.
