A cross-sectional study of medical students (2019–2020) assessed cardiovascular health using the Cardiovascular Health Index (CVHI) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR). Psycho-emotional health was measured via the Perceived Stress Scale-14 (PSS) for stress, the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) for empathy, and the Trait Meta Mood Scale-24 for emotional intelligence (attention, clarity, and repair).
