AbstractAppetitive traits have a central role in energy intake and development of obesity. Child Eating Behavior Questionnaire (CEBQ) is a validated psychometric tool to measure appetitive traits in children. This study sought to assess the CEBQ factor structure in children with obesity. We hypothesized that hedonic traits are more prominent with obesity and in older children. This cross-sectional observational study used CEBQ data from three geographically diverse centers in children with obesity.
