Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop and validate a Romanian version of the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire-R21 for children and adolescents CTFEQ-R21, and to assess its psychometric properties and factor structure. Associations between the present version of the CTFEQ-R21 and anthropometric measures as well as body composition were also examined.
Material and methods: 153 children and adolescents (68 boys and 95 girls; 10.8±3.5 years) took part in this study (BMI of 17.7±3.1 kg/m²). The participants were first interviewed to ascertain their understanding of the CTFEQ-R21 and were then asked to self-complete the questionnaire. Height and weight were measured and body composition assessed using bio impedance analyzers (Tanita MC 780).
Results: The CTFEQ-R21 showed satisfactory internal consistency (Cronbach's α=0.78). Cronbach's alpha coefficients were 0.55 for CR (cognitive restriction), 0.75 for UE (Uncontrolled Eating), and 0.76 for EE (Emotional Eating) separately. UE and EE were found to be significantly correlated (r=0.54, p<0.05). The three factors explained 43% of the total variance. Correlation between CR, UE and EE with body weight, BMI and FFM were significant but low to moderate, with coefficients ranging from 0.20 to 0.37. The higher the CR, UE and EE tertiles, the higher the weight, fat mass (kg) and fat-free mass values.
Conclusions: According to the psychometric analysis of the questionnaire, the version of the CTFEQ-R21 proposed here is a satisfactory tool to assess eating behaviors in the Romanian child population that remains to be further developed.
本研究旨在开发并验证儿童及青少年三因素饮食问卷-R21（CTFEQ-R21）的罗马尼亚语版本，评估其心理测量特性和因子结构。同时还研究了当前版本的CTFEQ-R21与人体测量指标以及身体成分之间的关联。
153名儿童及青少年（68名男孩和95名女孩；年龄10.8±3.5岁）参与了本研究（体重指数为17.7±3.1kg/m²）。首先对参与者进行访谈，以确定他们对CTFEQ-R21的理解，然后要求他们自行完成问卷。测量身高和体重，并使用生物电阻抗分析仪（Tanita MC 780）评估身体成分。
CTFEQ-R21显示出令人满意的内部一致性（克朗巴哈α系数=0.78）。其中，认知限制（CR）的克朗巴哈α系数为0.55，无节制饮食（UE）为0.75，情绪性进食（EE）为0.76。发现UE和EE显著相关（r=0.54，p<0.05）。这三个因素解释了总方差的43%。CR、UE和EE与体重、BMI和去脂体重之间的相关性显著，但为低至中度，系数范围为0.20至0.37。CR越高越频繁、UE和EE三分位数越高，体重、脂肪量（kg）和去脂体重值越高。
根据问卷的心理测量分析，此处提出的CTFEQ-R21版本是评估罗马尼亚儿童群体饮食行为的一个令人满意的工具，仍有待进一步开发。
