T1, Time 1 measurement; T2, Time 2 measurement; BMI, body mass index; DR, Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire, Restrained Eating subscale; CR, Three Factor Eating Questionnaire, Cognitive Restraint subscale; RS, Herman and Polivy Revised Restraint Scale; SR, self-report; PM, physical measurement.

a

This study included adult parents and their offspring. Each group was analyzed separately.

b

These studies used the cognitive restraint scale from the 18-item revised Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (38), whereas all other studies labeled CR used the cognitive restraint scale from the original TFEQ (15).

c

Participants were sibling pairs; data were split by cohort (older sibling and younger sibling) and analyzed separately; non-independent observations are not an issue because older siblings were compared only to other older siblings in other families. Sibling pairs were not combined in analyses.

d

This study looked at 4 longitudinal analyses across 3 years (year 1 to year 2; year 2 to year 3). Since only one of these analyses predicted weight gain from year 1 to year 2, we counted this study as having not found that restraint predicted weight gain over the 3 years.

e

Age information applies to all participants included in baseline assessments, not just those who completed follow up.
