Legend: β = Beta; EE = emotional eating; BE = Binge eating; CR = Cognitive restraint; BMI = Body Mass Index; CI = Confidence Interval. Multiple variable linear regression model was applied to verify the associations between assessed variables and dietary practices. The model was adjusted by sex (male vs. female), marital status (married, single, or widower), smoking (yes or no), living with chronic disease (yes or no), living with two diseases or more (yes or no), body mass index (continuous), age (in years), assistance in buying or preparing meals (yes or no), schooling level (primary education, complete high school, and complete college or more), current job status, and socioeconomic status by family income. Family income was considered the minimum wage (MW) received per month (pm) in Brazil, being 1.100 R$ or 201 US$, considering that the mean dollar conversion value during this period (August and December 2020) is 5,45 R$. Thus, category 1 (≤1–3 MW/pm), category 2 (>3–5 MW/pm), and category 3 (>5 MW/pm).
