Influence of Physical Activity Participation on the Associations between Eating Behaviour Traits and Body Mass Index in Healthy Postmenopausal Women

Table 4

Independent predictors of BMI in women with higher physical activity participation (𝑛=49).

Variables	Beta	P-value
Flexible dietary restraint	−0.343	.016
Rigid dietary restraint	−0.300	.017
Emotional disinhibition	0.317	.057

𝑟²=0.443 (adjusted = 0.378), F = 6.845, 𝑃<.0001.
Note: Variables included in the model were those which were significantly correlated with BMI (flexible dietary restraint, rigid dietary restraint, emotional disinhibition, situational disinhibition, and 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.
