Personality, eating behaviour, and body weight: results from the population study of women in Gothenburg 2016/17
Psychogenic needs were more closely associated with eating behaviour than personality traits. A lower need to defend one's status and excessive emotional eating were independently associated with higher BMI, suggesting different pathways to obesity and treatment strategies.
