Abstract
: The aim of the study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Three Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ-R18) in Mexican patients with obesity. Methods: 292 Mexican adults (194 women, 98 men) who entered a multidisciplinary treatment program for obesity at a third level hospital in Mexico, completed the TFEQ-R18 to obtain the psychometric properties. Results: The TFEQ-R18 has a good internal consistency showing a global Cronbach´s the way people eat, and finally Uncontrolled Eating (UE) which explores the tendency to consume large = .061, CI [.051, .071]; CFI = .93; TLI = .92; SRMR = .071). There is a significant positive correlation with the diagnosis of eating disorder and emotional eating with uncontrolled eating and emotional eating factors. Conclusions: The TFEQ-R18 allows an adequate evaluation of the three eating factors in Mexican patients with obesity and allows a differentiation between cases with or without eating disorders.
期刊介绍:
La política editorial de la revista es publicar artículos sobre temas relevantes del comportamiento alimentario, como ciencia y profesión, que sean de interés y tengan impacto en esta área de conocimiento. La revista acepta para su publicación, artículos de investigación básica y aplicada, así como de carácter teórico o emprírico, sobre las principales disciplinas (psicología, psiquiatría, medicina, biología, nutrición, etc..) que signifiquen un avance en el área del comportamiento alimentario. Se publican artículos originales (investigaciones), artículos de revisión y casos clínicos Excepcionalmente se aceptarán trabajos teóricos; éstos deberán significar una contribución sobre el estado actual de alguno de los tópicos relacionados a la alimentación. Dentro de su proceso de revisión por pares (doble-ciego), cuenta con la participación de investigadores de alto nivel y probada calidad científica y metodológica para la crítica editorial de los manuscritos que recibe. La crítica editorial en la Revista Mexicana de Trastornos Alimentarios/Mexican Journal of Eating Disorders cumple dos finalidades: por un lado, hacer una recomendación debidamente fundamentada sobre la pertinencia de un manuscrito, y por otro, retroalimentar a los autores sobre la calidad del trabajo, indicando no sólo aciertos y fallas, sino describiendo, cuando se trate de fallas, los pasos que debería seguir el autor para corregirlas. Los textos presentados para su posible publicación estarán sujetos a la programación de la revista y a la evaluación que realicen los editores.
