Figure 3. Sex-specific relationships between trait anxiety (women) or state anxiety (men) and macronutrient choice.

Figure 3

In women, associations were present between trait anxiety and percentage of kilocalories consumed at the ad libitum buffet from A) fat and B) carbohydrates but not C) protein. In men, associations were present between state anxiety and percentage of kilocalories consumed from B) carbohydrates and C) protein; a trend was also present with A) fat. P-values derived from generalized estimating equations and r-values from Pearson’s Product-moment correlation. Trait and state anxiety scored derived from the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI); BMI=body mass index. Data are adjusted for BMI.
