  1. BIS-11, Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (11th version), high BIS-11 scores indicate a high level of impulsivity
  2. The three categories of BIS-11 were calculated according to tertiles of the total score
  3. EmE, Emotional Eating, is continuous variable ranging from 1 to 4
  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 impulsivity category
  5. 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
  6. 3β coefficients of the EmE × BIS-11 interaction can be interpreted as differences in change of BMI (in kg/m2) per increase of 1 point in the EmE scale between impulsivity categories
