Understanding the prevalence and predictors of disordered eating in these populations is essential for developing effective interventions. <b>Objective:</b> To investigate disordered eating tendencies among athletes and physical activity practitioners in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. <b>Methods:</b> Participants from five athletic clubs and six fitness centers were surveyed. Data were collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire that included the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26), the Abridged Nutrition for Sport Knowledge Questionnaire (ANSKQ), and the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). Anthropometric data were also collected.

It is often perceived that nurses working in psychiatric hospitals experience greater stress and occupational burnout compared to nurses working in somatic hospitals. However, there is limited research addressing this specific issue. To bridge this gap, a study was conducted to compare the stress levels of nurses working in a psychiatric hospital and a somatic hospital within the same city. <b>Background/Objectives:</b> The aim of this paper was to report on the prevalence of stress and burnout among surveyed nurses employed in a somatic hospital and in a psychiatric hospital. <b>Methods:</b> The study group consisted of a total of 379 nurses-189 employed at a somatic hospital and 190 employed at a psychiatric hospital. The primary test used for statistical analyses was the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test for assessing differences.
