Note: Variables included in the model were those which were significantly correlated with BMI (flexible dietary restraint, habitual disinhibition, emotional disinhibition, situational disinhibition, internal hunger, and external hunger). In addition, when a given TFEQ factor and some of its subscales were significantly related to BMI, we chose to enter the subscales rather than the main factor in the multivariate model in order to avoid problems related to multicollinearity.
