“…Restrained and emotional eating scores were signi®cantly higher in women and girls than in men 16,28 and adolescents. 4,26,29,30 However, there was no effect of gender on external eating scores. Similar results were found in adults 16,28 and adolescents 4 but not in 9-y-old children.…”

“…In adolescents, there was no relationship between emotional eating and energy intake, whereas external eaters had higher caloric intake. 4 When studying the relationships between overweight and eating style, a positive correlation was found between dietary restraint and BMI or relative weight. These ®ndings have been previously shown in adults and adolescents.…”

“…These results con®rm ®ndings from previous studies carried out in children and adolescents. 3,4 Women scored lower on the emotional scale as they were getting older. This result could be explained by a decrease of susceptibility to loss of control over eating, due to lower body weight and shape concerns.…”

OBJECTIVES: To describe the eating patterns of members of French families and to assess the relationships between dietary intakes, eating style and overweight. DESIGN: Cross-sectional analysis of nutritional and behavioural characteristics. SUBJECTS: 1320 members of 387 families (age 11 ± 65 y) attending the Centre for Preventive Medicine for a routine medical check-up. MEASUREMENTS: Individual body weight and height were measured. Food intake was assessed using a three day dietary record. Eating style was measured using the French validated version of the Dutch Eating Behaviour Questionnaire. RESULTS: In each of the four groups (men, women, boys and girls), dietary restraint was positively correlated with overweight (P 0.001) and associated with lower energy intakes (P 0.05 ± P 0.001). A negative association between energy intake and overweight was found in girls only (P 0.001). In all cases, overweight and dietary restraint exaggerated any existing macronutrient imbalance in energy intake (ie higher protein and fat contributions, lower carbohydrate contribution). Emotional eating was positively correlated to body mass index in women only (P 0.01). External eating was mainly a characteristic of children (P 0.001). CONCLUSION: As in overweight subjects, clear relationships were found in this sample of general population between dietary intakes and eating style. The population will be followed up for 10 y. In the long term, these results should have implications in the prevention of obesity.

“…Similarly, comfort eating was significantly associated with BMI in the present human sample, although the observed effect was relatively small (r ¼ .05). Several other studies in young adult women have found comfort eating to be unrelated to BMI (Wardle et al, 1992) and not prospectively predictive of weight gain (Lowe et al, 2006). Thus, it seems plausible that at least for some, it may be feasible to reduce perceived stress via comfort eating without simultaneously promoting weight gain over time.…”

Comfort eating, psychological stress, and depressive symptoms in young adult women

a b s t r a c tLittle is known about whether comfort eating actually functions to reduce psychological stress. In addition, the effectiveness of comfort eating may be particularly relevant in the context of depression, but no study has tested whether comfort eating processes might depend on severity of depressive symptomology. This study tested 1) whether greater comfort eating statistically buffers the relationship between adverse life events and perceived psychological stress at age 18e19, and 2) whether potential stress-buffering effects may differ by level of depressive symptoms. These relationships were examined in the NHLBI Growth and Health Study, comprising 2379 young adult women. Participants self-reported experiences with adverse life events, their perceived psychological stress, and whether they tended to eat more while experiencing certain negative emotions. As hypothesized, the relationship between adverse life events and perceived stress depended on comfort eating status (p ¼ .033). The effect of adverse events on perceived stress was attenuated among comfort eaters compared to non-comfort eaters (p ¼ .004), but this buffering effect was not shown in participants with an elevated level of depressive symptoms. In conclusion, among young adult women without high depressive symptoms, comfort eaters may experience reduced perceived stress compared to those who do not engage in this behavior. Intervention researchers should also consider the possible benefits of comfort eating.
