4.2 Correlational analysis
In O+OW, emotional eating was weakly and positively correlated with AQC (r: 0,29, p: 0,008). It is moderately and positively correlated with RCADS total scores (r:0,48, p<0,001). The relationship between eating behaviour and HOMA-IR shows that there is a weak and positive correlation between DEBQ external eating score and HOMA-IR value in the obese participants (r:035, p:0,006). External eating was not associated with fasting blood glucose and HbA1c (r:-0,05, p:0,62; r:-0,05, p:0,73).
