A study published in Psychol Health Med examined eating disorder (ED) risk among 277 undergraduate students in Atlantic Canada, with an average age of 22.4 years. Participants were screened for EDs using the Sick Control One-stone Fat Food (SCOFF) scale and categorized into flourishing (19.4%) and non-flourishing groups based on the Mental Health Continuum - Short Form (MHC-SF) scale. Results showed that flourishing students reported fewer academic, faculty, and relationship issues, as well as lower feelings of loneliness and isolation. They also felt a stronger sense of belonging at their university and assessed their health more positively. Additionally, flourishing students experienced lower psychological distress, reduced risk of suicidality, and less need for psychological services. Despite lower SCOFF scores indicating fewer eating disorder symptoms, the body mass index (BMI) levels did not differ between the two groups. The findings support the dual continua model of mental health and suggest strategies to promote student flourishing.
