Note. FCI=Food Craving Inventory
a
OR=odds ratio.
b
The OR is from the multiple logistic regression model adjusted for BMI, age, race, gender, and education.
c
Block 3 is an interaction between general food cravings and gender.
d
Block 4 is an interaction between general food cravings and race. Since the block 3 interaction was not significant, the gender interaction term was dropped for Block 4.
+
White is reference category.
++
College or greater is reference category.
