Concerns about personal finances are a source of everyday stress among many college students. A 2020 national study by the Ohio State University on college students and financial wellness, found that 74% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that they were stressed out about their personal finances in general. 

Some physically active people are at risk for Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport or RED-S. This often unrecognized disorder can include low energy availability (inadequate caloric intake); with or without disordered eating; amenorrhea (lack of menstrual periods); and low bone mineral density.

It's important to know that, in the context of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport, disordered eating includes both intentional and non-intentional under-consumption of calories. This can occur both as a function of poor eating habits and as a function of too intense exercise.
