CFC-12 Consideration of Future Consequences scale, high CFC-12 scores indicate a high level of future orientation
The three categories of CFC-12 were calculated according to tertiles of the total score
EmE, Emotional Eating, is continuous variable ranging from 1 to 4
¹β coefficients of the EmE effect can be interpreted as changes in BMI (in kg/m²) per increase of 1 point in the EmE scale in each CFC category
²Adjusted p-value (correction for multiple testing with a Holm-Bonferroni procedure) based on linear mixed-effects models with time, age, education level, occupational status, monthly income household unit, smoking status, physical activity, and history of dieting as fixed effects, and intercept and time as random effects
³β coefficients of the EmE × CFC-12 interaction can be interpreted as differences of BMI slope (in kg/m²) per increase of 1 point in the EmE scale between CFC categories
