The aim of this study was to validate the Adult Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (AEBQ), a measure of food approach and avoidant traits, for use in bariatric surgery candidates. Participants were 337 bariatric surgery candidates in the Mid-Atlantic United States. Confirmatory factor analysis suggested that one item did not load onto its original factor. A 34-item, eight-factor model had better fit than a seven-factor model; dropping the Hunger factor, as previously suggested, did not improve fit. The factors had good internal consistency and showed convergent/divergent validity with an existing measure of food approach traits. The emotional overeating scale was positively correlated with BMI at programme entry, whereas the slow eating scale was negatively correlated with baseline weight. The AEBQ scales had the same pattern of intercorrelations and similar means to those of two previously published samples. The AEBQ is a valid measure of appetitive traits in bariatric candidates.
本研究旨在验证成人饮食行为问卷（AEBQ），这是一种衡量食物接近和回避特质的方法，适用于接受减重手术的患者。参与者为美国中大西洋地区的 337 名减重手术候选者。验证性因素分析表明，有一个项目未加载到其原始因子上。与先前建议的相反，一个 34 项、八因子模型比七因子模型具有更好的拟合度；删除饥饿因子并不能改善拟合度。这些因子具有良好的内部一致性，并与现有食物接近特质的测量方法表现出收敛/发散效度。情绪性暴食量表与计划开始时的 BMI 呈正相关，而进食速度量表与基线体重呈负相关。AEBQ 量表的相互关联模式相同，与之前发表的两个样本的平均值相似。AEBQ 是一种评估减重患者食欲特质的有效方法。
