Overweight adolescent girls scored high on emotional eating while overweight adolescent boys displayed more external eating. In overweight children, already 10.5 per cent displayed emotional eating and 38.4 per cent reported external eating. All overweight… Show more

“…Since emotional eating is related to less healthy dietary intake, it has been longitudinally linked to weight gain and obesity, especially in females (102,103) .

Braet et al (105) showed that in a large sample of children and adolescents 10·5 % of overweight children reported high scores of emotional eating.…”

Braet et al (105) showed that in a large sample of children and adolescents 10·5 % of overweight children reported high scores of emotional eating. Especially in adolescence, the relationship becomes stronger in overweight females (105) with loss of control (81,106) .…”

“…In a pilot study, the phrasing of the original DEBQ was slightly adapted, without modifying the content, to enhance the children's comprehension. The different subscales revealed a stable factor structure, satisfying internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha=0.77-0.91) and a good test-retest reliability (r= 0.87-0.90) (Braet et al, 2008;Braet et al, 2007).…”
