Abstract

This systematic review aims to investigate the current prevalence of emotional eating and its associated factors in overweight and obese populations. We included studies that (1) reported prevalence of emotional eating; (2) were in the context of weight gain or overweight and obesity; (3) used a validated psychometric tool to assess emotional eating; (4) were published as an internationally referred journal article and (5) were reported in the English language. Articles were searched on eight electronic databases (CINAHL, EMBASE, PsychINFO, ProQuest, PubMed, Scopus, The Cochrane Library and Web of Science) from the journals' inception to 11 April 2024. A total of 18 studies, representing a total of 21,237 people, were included in the review. Our study suggested that emotional eating is significantly prevalent at 44.9%. High heterogeneity observed (I²: 98.7%) can be attributed to differences in measurement tools for emotional eating, but not differences in geographical regions. By providing insight to the current prevalence of emotional eating and its relevant factors, this study outlines the steps to take in future research and practice to tackle emotional eating and related health issues like obesity. There is a need to develop standardized measurement tools for emotional eating, and further investigate sociodemographic factors.

情绪性饮食在超重和肥胖人群中的全球流行：一项系统回顾和荟萃分析。

本系统综述旨在调查目前超重和肥胖人群中情绪性饮食的患病率及其相关因素。我们纳入了以下研究：(1)报道情绪性进食的普遍性；(2)体重增加或超重和肥胖；(3)采用经过验证的心理测量工具评估情绪性进食；(4)作为国际参考期刊文章发表；(5)以英语报道。文章从期刊创刊至2024年4月11日在8个电子数据库（CINAHL、EMBASE、PsychINFO、ProQuest、PubMed、Scopus、The Cochrane Library和Web of Science）中检索。该综述共纳入了18项研究，涉及21,237人。我们的研究表明，情绪化进食非常普遍，占44.9%。观察到的高异质性（I2: 98.7%）可归因于情绪性饮食测量工具的差异，而不是地理区域的差异。通过洞察目前情绪饮食的流行及其相关因素，本研究概述了在未来的研究和实践中采取的步骤，以解决情绪饮食和肥胖等相关健康问题。有必要开发标准化的情绪性进食测量工具，并进一步调查社会人口因素。
