Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; WC, waist circumference, TFEQ, Three Factor Eating Questionnaire; M, male; F, female,

^*Sex-stratified coefficients are shown for perceived stress, and the P-values for the sex by perceived stress interaction terms were 0.0268, 0.0572 and 0.0017 for weight, BMI and WC, respectively

^†Total TFEQ score is the sum of the three domain raw scores, and ranges from 0-76. In contrast to the total TFEQ score, domain scores were transformed and each domain ranges from 0-100
