Randomized trial assesses obesity's correlation with nutrition habits and sociodemographic characteristics, indicating implications for treatment.
Key Points
This study aims to evaluate the relationship between nutrition habits and sociodemographic variables, body mass index, and waist and hip measurements.
Participants included 293 individuals visiting a family medicine clinic from 01.12.2021 to 28.02.2021.
Sociodemographic information and a three-factor nutrition scale were collected via a voluntary questionnaire.
Participants were classified as normal weight or overweight/obese based on body mass index.
Women scored higher on the conscious eating restraint subscale compared to men (p=0.011).
Overweight/obese participants had higher uncontrolled eating subscale scores than normal individuals (p=0.047).
Participants with primary education or less had significantly higher scores for uncontrolled eating and emotional eating sensitivity compared to those with higher education (p<0.001).
