Resumo
The literature suggests there may be a positive relationship between body mass gain and the psychosocial stress index (PSSI), which the emotional eating can be considered as an adaptive response to the chronic stress experienced by the individual. The university environment is considered a place of intense psychosocial stress, which can trigger changes in the eating habits of individuals. In this pilot study, volunteers from pharmacy undergraduate course, did not present any kind of correlation between Body Mass Index and high PSSI.
