Taste ratings were positively associated with dietary restraint, variability in daily energy intake, and sleep duration, and inversely associated with hunger and uncontrolled eating.
Understanding these associations can help in designing interventions to improve dietary habits.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Taste ratings in all food categories were associated positively with dietary restraint, variability in daily energy intake, and sleep duration (r=0.46–0.68), and inversely with hunger and uncontrolled eating (r=−0.63 and −0.62, respectively) (p=0.005–0.06).
Why this rating
The associations are based on statistical analysis of taste ratings.
