Stress also negatively affects college students’ lifestyles with regards to diet and daily activity. According to a study conducted with a sample of students at a university in South Korea, both male and female students showed unhealthy eating under stress but differed in the type and degree of unhealthy behaviors. Females consumed more snacks like candy, cake, and soft drinks, skipped males or ate without control under stress. Females were more likely not to exercise regularly. Besides actual behaviors, the study suggested that females are more vulnerable to stress relative to males, which can increase irregular eating. Other studies based in the United States showed similar results in which students showed worse behaviors of exercise, nutritional diet, and self care under stress. The social and environmental stimuli around students affect their physiological and mental responses, and in turn student's health.
