: Emotional eating may be a consequence of acquired cue reactivity, a lack of control, or an inaccurate link between episodic overeating and negative affect, according to a new analysis of its standard measurement. This study was a controlled trial, which was designed to investigate the effect of personalized nutritional psychoeducation on emotional eating behavior. This study enrolled 95 participants (62 control group and 33 intervention group) who were randomized to treatment and assessed at 3-month follow-up. Over a period of 3 months, six thematic individual sessions were conducted with a frequency of every 15 days for the participants in the intervention group. The Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ) was used to assess feeding patterns and the manifestation of emotional food consumption in response to emotion. At baseline, it appears that gender is positively related to TFEQ Emotional Score (β: 1.77 (random error: 0.57, -value: 0.003). BMI (β: -0.11 (random error: 0.04, -value: 0.003) and waist circumference are negatively related to the TFEQ Emotional Score. Although this study confirmed significant associations of emotional eating and gender, BMI, and waist circumference, the nutritional psychoeducation-based intervention did not exert the expected effects on emotional eating. More high-quality clinical trials need to further be designed to improve emotional eating behavior by applying relevant nutritional psychoeducation-based interventions.
根据一项对情绪性进食标准测量的新分析，情绪性进食可能是习得性线索反应、缺乏控制或暴饮暴食与负面影响之间不准确关联的结果。本研究为一项对照试验，旨在调查个性化营养心理教育对情绪性进食行为的影响。该研究招募了95名参与者（62名对照组和33名干预组），将他们随机分组进行治疗，并在3个月随访时进行评估。在3个月的时间里，对干预组的参与者每15天进行一次，共进行了六次主题性个人课程。使用三因素饮食问卷（TFEQ）来评估饮食模式以及情绪性食物消费对情绪的反应表现。在基线时，性别似乎与TFEQ情绪得分呈正相关（β：1.77（随机误差：0.57，p值：0.003）。BMI（β：-0.11（随机误差：0.04，p值：0.003）和腰围与TFEQ情绪得分呈负相关。尽管本研究证实了情绪性进食与性别、BMI和腰围之间存在显著关联，但基于营养心理教育的干预对情绪性进食并未产生预期效果。需要进一步设计更多高质量的临床试验，通过应用相关的基于营养心理教育的干预措施来改善情绪性进食行为。
