Table 4 The relationship between low eating self-efficacy and eating behavior tendencies, i.e., cognitive restraint, uncontrolled eating, emotional eating, and binge eating in the PrevMetSyn study. Unstandardized coefficients (B), standard errors (SE), odds ratios (OR), 95% confidence intervals (CI), and p values obtained by binary logistic regression analysis using the enter method.
