Abstract
Understanding of behavioral factors associated with obesity is of
importance in addressing this issue. This study examined the association
between cognitive restraint, uncontrolled eating, emotional eating and
body mass index (BMI) and amount of food plated, consumed, leftovers,
and leftover food thrown into the trash (food wasted) in early
adolescent girls nine to 13 years in O'ahu, Hawai'i (n = 93). Food
plated, consumed, leftovers, and food wasted were estimated using a
three-day mobile food record™ (mFR). Weight and height were measured to
compute BMI (kg/m 2). The three-factor eating questionnaire provided a
score from 0 to 100 for cognitive restraint, uncontrolled eating, and
emotional eating. Higher scores are indicative of greater cognitive
restraint, uncontrolled eating, and emotional eating. Pearson's
correlations were computed to examine the relationship between three
factor eating scores and BMI. General linear models were conducted to
examine the effect of each of three-factor eating scores on food plated,
consumed, leftovers, and food wasted. Cognitive restraint was
positively correlated with BMI (r = 0.36, p < 0.001) and with BMI
z-score (r = 0.40, p < 0.001). There were no associations between
three-factor eating scores and food plated, consumed, leftovers, and
food wasted at lunch. However, at dinner, total energy plated, left
over, and food wasted increased by 4.24 kcal/day (p = 0.030), 1.67
kcal/day (p = 0.002), and 0.93 kcal/day (p = 0.031), respectively, with a
unit increase in uncontrolled eating score. Similarly, total energy
plated and energy left over at dinner increased by 3.40 kcal/day (p =
0.045) and 1.51 kcal/day (p = 0.001), respectively, with a unit increase
in emotional eating score. Additional research should examine the
specific roles of cognitive restraint, uncontrolled eating, emotional
eating and food waste in the development of obesity in adolescents.
