Interrelation of Stress, Eating Behavior, and Body Adiposity in Women with Obesity: Do Emotions Matter?

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The findings support the hypothesis that stress and eating behavior are associated with body adiposity and that stress is linked to emotional and external eating. An inverse association between restrained eating and body fat was observed in women with lower cortisol levels. These results highlight the importance of an interdisciplinary approach that incorporates emotional and stress conditions in obesity treatment.
