Fig. 1

Heatmap representation of the correlations between items of the CTFEQ, between each item and each dimension (EE, CR, UE) and between each item and dimension, and anthropometric and body composition variables. The darkest is the box and the higher is the correlation. CR: Controlled eating; EE: Emotional Eating; UE: Uncontrolled eating; Tanita_W: body weight; BMI: Body Mass Index; Tanita FM: Fat Mass (%); Tanita_FFM: Fat Free Mass (kg).
