Cover Story: Emotional eating is the tendency to overeat in response to negative emotions. The objective of this study is to assess the association between the Mediterranean diet, and emotional eating via the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TEFQ) in 328 adults aged 18–75 years. A mean MedDiet score equal to 30.97 ± 4.93 and a total TFEQ score equal to 45.40 ± 6.31 were noted. MedDiet score was significantly inversely associated with the TFEQ total score (as well as with the TFEQ emotional score. Fruit and vegetable consumption was positively associated with TFEQ emotional score. In order to produce data showing improvements in eating behavior, our findings have highlighted the significance of conducting large, prospective, well-designed, randomized, interventional clinical studies to confirm the inverse association of the Mediterranean diet with emotional eating.
