ÖZ Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between dietary habits and sociodemographic variables, tobacco-alcohol use, body mass index, waist and hip circumference measurements.
Materials and Methods: A total of 293 patients who applied to a family medicine outpatient clinic between 01.12.2021 - 28.02.2021 and volunteered to fill out a questionnaire including sociodemographic information form and three-factor nutrition scale were evaluated. Participants were classified as normal or overweight/obese according to body mass index, and their educational status was divided into two groups as primary school or lower level education and high school or higher level education and compared with each other.
Results: The consciously restricting eating sub-dimension score of the Three-Factor Nutrition Scale was higher in women than in men (p=0.011). The uncontrolled eating subscale score of overweight/obese participants was higher than that of normal individuals (p=0.047). Uncontrolled eating, emotional eating, hunger sensitivity score and total score of the three-factor nutrition factor were significantly higher in participants with primary education or lower than in participants with high school or higher education (p=0.002; p=0.002 p<0.001; p<0.001 respectively). No significant relationship was found between the total score and sub-dimension scores of the three-factor nutrition questionnaire and marital status, occupation and income, smoking/alcohol use status and history of chronic disease (p>0.05).
Conclusion: A strong positive correlation was found between the results of the three-factor nutrition questionnaire and body mass index. A stronger correlation was found between uncontrolled eating behaviour, one of the sub-dimensions of the three-factor eating questionnaire, and increased body mass index than the other sub-dimensions. Knowing that uncontrolled eating behaviour increases in obese patients may be a guide in the reorganisation of eating habits in the treatment and prevention of obesity.
