the limitation side, it is not properly able to assess the cause and effect. By informing

The article discussed the necessary association between disorder eating behaviour,
emotional discomfort management, and weight status. It is not true cent per cent, because
some people have fat body structure that does not necessarily mean that they have eating
disorder. Therefore, the scope of research can be more if author has taken the survey of more
people to know the reason behind weight status of people. If survey can be collected from the
universities, the possibility of right data collected would be increased. More reasons come to
know by the author if it has undertaken the deep research among university students for
knowing the rapid weight gain of people. In this way, this article will help the readers to
know about perceived mindset of people related to their eating behaviour and further distress.

that it carried out the survey for both sexes by including clinical and biochemical
measurement. At the same time, it also effective done the questionnaire and categorised
perception of lifestyle, body shape as well as eating habit. The major weakness of the article
is its sample size that can be improved. The possibility of data sampling can be extended
through different data collection techniques. This article will help the reader in knowing how
lifestyle factors are linked with obesity.

adolescents and young has widely increased globally. Discussion has been carried on the
examination of linear association between depression scores among the paramedical and
medical students. The strength of this article is that it has tried to identify the significant

eating behaviour that has synergistic effect on the mental and physical health of students.

has asked for their current weight and height, idea weight and height, perceived stress, eating
behaviour and personality traits. The strength of this article is that it included the perceived
results collected from the students. At the same time, anonymous survey does not bring the
proper reliability of the data received. Therefore, the major weakness of third article is the
including of survey anonymously. The major argument has been done on determining the
participants eating behaviour, physical status, personality traits, and perceived stress. As

cognitive and emotional aspect of eating habits and impulsivity, depression and anxiety. The
strength of this article is that it collected the data through face-to-face interview which
decrease the possibility of biasness or extent of wrong information. The major weakness of
this article is that it does not take the study design and limitation into account. At the same
time, self-report methods also present the person own perspective not real data. The other
limitation of the article is that it foes mot included insomnia as they are also significant for
eating habits. As compare to the other article, it does the face-to-face interview that can prove
to the source of reliability.
