PEMS, Palatable Eating Motive Scale; PFS, Power of Food Scale; β, standardized beta coefficient; SE, standard error; CI, confidence interval.

Standardized beta coefficients, standard errors, 95% confidence intervals, and P-values were obtained from a multiple linear regression analysis.

^aAll the models were adjusted for age, body mass index, physical activity, and smoking.
