Underreporting9

¹n = 91. *, **, ***Correlations between underreporting and predictive factors: *P < 0.05; **P < 0.001; ***P < 0.001. Underreporting showed a significant positive correlation with baseline BMI (r = 0.26, P < 0.05), wherein those with higher BMIs showed greater underreporting. DLW, doubly labeled water.

²Assessed with the Dutch Restrained Eating Scale (20); higher scores indicate greater dieting.

³Assessed with the Body Parts Scale (25) that assessed dissatisfaction of 9 body parts.

⁴Assessed with the Ideal-Body Stereotype Scale-Revised (26).

⁵Anchored by 1 for grade school graduate through 6 for advanced degree.

⁶Assessed with the use of the Eating Disorder Diagnostic Interview (21); higher scores indicate greater disordered eating symptoms.

⁷Assessed with the use of the Perceived Sociocultural Pressure Scale (27).

⁸Assessed with the use of the Power of Food Scale (23).

⁹Calculated as (DLW energy intake − reported energy intake).
