“…However, previous findings revealed mixed results. While some studies found that women tend to present higher levels of uncontrolled eating (Chearskul et al, 2010;Lesdéma et al, 2012;Löffler et al, 2015), others, like in our study, found no gender differences (e.g. Cappelleri et al, 2009;de Lauzon et al, 2004).…”

“…Concerning gender differences for uncontrolled eating research found mixed results (Lesdéma et al, 2012;Chearskul, Pummoung, Vongsaiyat, Janyachailert, & Phattharayuttawat, 2010;Drapeau et al, 2003;Hainer et al, 2006;Löffler et al, 2015). Whereas several studies found that women tend to present higher levels of uncontrolled eating than men (Chearskul et al, 2010;Lesdéma et al, 2012;Löffler et al, 2015), others found higher levels in males Hainer et al, 2006 ) or no differences between genders (de Lauzon et al, 2004).…”

The Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ) is one of the most widely used instruments to study different eating behaviors. It measures three types of eating behaviors namely: cognitive restraint, uncontrolled eating and emotional eating. The present study aims to evaluate the factor structure and reliability of the Portuguese version of the TFEQ-R21, using a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The sample includes 468 participants from the general population, with ages ranging from 18 to 60 years. Results from the CFA confirmed the TFEQ-R21 three-factor structure and the model revealed an acceptable fit to the data (χ(186) = 443.211, p < 0.001; χ/df = 2.329; CFI = 0.933; TLI = 0.925; RMSEA = 0.054; SMRS = 0.053). Multi-group analysis results support strong measurement invariance across genders. Furthermore, all three dimensions presented adequate psychometric properties. Overall, results support that the Portuguese version of the TFEQ-R21 is a useful, reliable and robust instrument to assess relevant eating behaviors.Level of evidence V, descriptive studies.

“…Other studies, however, showed only higher mean values for the domain of 'cognitive restraint' in females than in males but inconsistent gender effects for the two other domains (Aurelie et al, 2012;Chearskul, Pummoung, Vongsaiyat, Janyachailert, & Phattharayuttawat, 2010;Drapeau et al, 2003;Hainer et al, 2006;Westenhoefer, 1992).…”

“…Efforts made to assess eating behavior have led to the development of the Three Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ) in the mid-1980s [ 8 ]. It is a widely-used and valid tool for assessing eating behaviors differentiating between normal weight or overweight and obese individuals [ 5 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ], and has been validated in various ethnicities [ 12 , 13 , 14 ]. The TFEQ is a 51-item questionnaire which assesses three factors (and their sub-categories) [ 6 , 8 , 11 ] that refer to cognitions and behaviors associated with eating.…”

Exploring the Relationship between Body Composition and Eating Behavior Using the Three Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ) in Young New Zealand Women

Obesity is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, yet is preventable. This study aimed to investigate associations between body mass index, body fat percentage and obesity-related eating behaviors. Women (n = 116; 18–44 years) were measured for height, weight and body fat using air displacement plethysmography (BodPod). Women completed the validated Three Factor Eating Questionnaire to assess their eating behaviors using Restraint, Disinhibition and Hunger eating factor categories and sub-categories. The eating behavior data were analyzed for associations with body mass index and body fat percentage, and comparisons across body mass index and body fat percentage categories (< vs. ≥25 kg/m2; < vs. ≥30%, respectively). Women had a mean (standard deviation) body mass index of 23.4 (3.5) kg/m2, and body fat percentage of 30.5 (7.6)%. Disinhibition was positively associated with both body mass index (p < 0.001) and body fat percentage (p < 0.001). Emotional Disinhibition was positively associated with body fat percentage (p < 0.028). Women with low Restraint and high Disinhibition had significantly higher body mass index and body fat percentage than women with high Restraint and low Disinhibition. Disinhibition seems likely to be an important contributor to obesity. Tailored intervention strategies focused on counteracting Disinhibition should be a key target area for managing weight/fat gain.
