OBESITY, ADIPOSITY
Individual differences in eating behaviour traits and exposure to takeaway outlets were both associated with takeaway consumption and adiposity. The evidence that individuals with certain eating behaviour traits are more susceptible to takeaway outlets was weak; there was no evidence that the association between takeaway outlet exposure and takeaway consumption or body fat varied by uncontrolled eating. While the magnitude of other effects were small, we found that the positive association between takeaway outlet exposure and body fat percentage was strongest for low emotional eaters, and the positive association between takeaway outlet exposure and takeaway consumption was strongest for those with high cognitive restraint scores. Our findings indicate that it is important to implement integrated strategies addressing both individual and environmental influences of dietary behaviours to tackle the current obesity epidemic.
