  "abstract": "This study examined the relationship between negative fat talk and poor sleep quality in Chinese college students, and tested the roles of wellbeing and loneliness in this association. A cross-sectional survey included 2,056 students in Jiangxi Province, China. Negative fat talk, wellbeing, loneliness, physical activity, and sleep quality were assessed with the BTS, WHO-5, ULS-8, PARS-3, and PSQI, respectively. The additional observed-score analyses included 1,970 participants with observed PSQI total scores. The original latent-variable parallel mediation model was retained; a fully adjusted observed-score model was added. The original classification recorded 984 students (47.9% of the study sample) with poor sleep quality. In the original sex-adjusted regression, negative fat talk was associated with higher PSQI scores (standardized β = 0.060, p = 0.003). In the additional fully adjusted regression, its unstandardized coefficient was 0.046 (95%CI 0.016-0.076; p = 0.003). The original structural model reported an overall indirect association of 0.223, with specific associations of 0.118 through wellbeing and 0.105 through loneliness. Negative fat talk was associated with poorer self-reported sleep quality. The parallel indirect paths describe cross-sectional statistical associations.",
