In this study, the effects of positive eating on eating behaviors, food intake, and BMI were investigated in a large sample of the general Swiss population. The results showed that restrained and reward eating were negatively correlated with the Positive Eating Scale (PES) subscales, while intuitive eating, diet-related health consciousness, and perceived health status were positively related to the PES subscales. BMI was negatively related to the PES subscale Satisfaction with Eating and positively related to the subscale Pleasure when Eating. No significant effects of the PES subscales on change in BMI were detected over the two-year period. Overall, positive eating may be associated with more balanced eating habits and better perceived health status.
To further investigate the effects of positive eating on health, the present study focused on associations of the Positive Eating Scale (PES, the Pleasure when Eating and Satisfaction with Eating subscales) with eating be-haviors, food intake, and body mass index (BMI) in a large sample of the general Swiss population. Participants (T1: n = 2795, 46.7 % men; T2: n = 1931, 46.5 % men) with a mean age of 60 (SD = 16) years at T1 (2019) and 62 (SD = 15) years at T2 (2021) completed the Swiss Food Panel 2.0 paper-and-pencil questionnaire which included the PES, eating behaviors, food intake, and BMI. The results showed that both restrained and reward eating in response to positive emotions were mostly negatively correlated with the PES subscales for men and women, whereas intuitive eating, diet-related health consciousness, and perceived health status were positively related to the PES subscales. Women tended to choose healthier foods and recorded higher eating satisfaction. BMI was negatively related to the PES subscale Satisfaction with Eating (beta =-0.17) and positively related to the subscale Pleasure when Eating (beta = 0.08) despite rather small correlations with healthier food choices and better diet quality. No significant effects of the PES subscales on change in BMI were detected over the two-year period. Since the PES subscales showed diverging associations with other eating behavior constructs, a combination into a total score may not be optimal. Overall, positive eating may be associated with more balanced eating habits and better perceived health status.
