The goal of this observational study is to assess how eating attitudes, sleep attitudes, and perceived stress contribute to early indicators of cardiovascular risk among undergraduate physical therapy students aged 18-30. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do unhealthy eating attitudes correlate with increased perceived stress levels? Does poor sleep quality predict higher behavioral risk for cardiovascular disease? Participants will complete validated self-reported questionnaires, including: The Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) Data will be collected once, either electronically or on paper, and all responses will be coded anonymously. There is no intervention or comparison group, as the study is purely observational.
