Objective: To check whether and what dietary patterns may be associated with emotional appetite in women served by the Brazilian Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde – SUS). Methods: This quantitative analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in 20 SUS Family Health Centers between 2016 and 2017 with literate women aged 19 to 59 years at reproductive age. Data on weight, height, and waist circumference were collected and the Emotional Appetite Questionnaire (Questionário de Apetite Emocional – QUEAPEM) was applied to assess emotional appetite. The Food Frequency Questionnaire was used to assess food intake in the form of dietary patterns derived from factor analysis using Barllet’s and Kayse-Meyer-Olkin sphericity tests. The relationship between dietary patterns and emotional appetite dimension was checked by the Spearman’s test with significant values set at p<0.05. Results: Participants were 149 women with a mean age of 34.3 ± 8.6 years. Most women (n= 88, 59%) exhibited excess weight, with 25.5% (n=38) of them being obese. Three dietary patterns were identified and together explained 16.8% of the variability of the diet. They were labelled “energy dense”, “healthy” and “traditional”. There was a correlation between the “traditional” dietary pattern and presence of emotional appetite in negative situations (p<0.05), with no correlation with the other patterns. Conclusion: The identification of three dietary patterns allowed a better understanding of the diet of the studied women and detected an inverse, although weak, association between the “traditional” dietary pattern and emotional appetite in negative situations.Downloads
