Özet
Aim: This study investigated the association between choosy eat- ing, emotional eating, and body image in healthy individuals. Materials and methods: This study was conducted with 639 people [385(60.3%) women and 254 (39.7%) men] aged 18–60 years through online surveys. The Stunkard Figure Rating Scale assessed how people see their bodies. Adult Picky Eating Questionnaire (APEQ) was used to determine picky eating behav - iors and attitudes. The Emotional Eater Scale was also used to assess eating behaviors. Anthropometric measurements of body weight and height were taken on a self-reported basis. One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the differences between the groups. Results: While 23.8% of the participants were satisfied with their body image, 76.2% were unsatisfied with their body image (61.5% wanted to lose body weight, 14.7% wanted to gain body weight). Body image dissatisfaction was found to be associated with emo- tional eating and its sub-dimensions (p<0.05). According to the body mass index (BMI) classification, a statistically significant dif - ference was discovered between the total score of picky eating and the total score of emotional eating between underweight and obese people (p<0.05). Conclusion: Picky eating is associated with emotional eating, body weight, and body perception. It is thought that there is a need to evaluate depression, anxiety, stress, and quality of life pa- rameters in future face-to-face studies.
