a

Demographic variables were age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, income, and employment status. Age was entered as a continuous variable, and the other categorical variables were dummy coded using the categories in Table 1.

b

Body Mass Index (BMI) is computed as m/kg2 and was analyzed as a continuous variable.

c

The eating variables are factor scores computed using the regression method. They all have a mean of zero, and a standard deviation of one.
