Association between emotional eating, energy-dense foods and overeating in Latinos.

CONCLUSION: In this Latino sample, EE was positively associated with overeating and intake of energy-dense foods partially mediated this association. Examination of longitudinal associations between EE, energy-dense foods, overeating and obesity is warranted. Understanding these associations may provide information to develop effective interventions to prevent and manage obesity among Latinos. PMID: 30889426 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
