Abstract
Introduction: Young adults between 18 and 25 years of age are in an important transitional time and university students are considered vulnerable given that they generally maintain an unhealthy lifestyle characterized by poor diet quality and meal skipping. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between executive functions, academic achievement, eating behavior, eating habits, and BMI in university students.
Methods: Undergraduate university students (18–25 years) who lived in Mexico City were included in the sample; executive function, eating habits, eating behavior and academic achievement were measured.
