Abstract

This work aims to describe the eating behavior of postpartum black women with obesity. This is a cross-sectional study, in which 82 black women with obesity in the postpartum period were included. The sociodemographic, gestational, anthropometric characteristics and eating behavior of postpartum women were evaluated. Eating behavior was assessed using the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire. Principal components analysis was used to highlight the three dimensions of the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (i.e., emotional, restrictive and external), considering factor loading >0.4 and <-0.4. The analyzes were carried out using SPSS 22.0 software. The average age of the women was 29 years (±5.7) and the current Body Mass Index diagnosed Grade 2 Obesity (33.8 ±3.85). More than 70% of volunteers carried out 7 consultations or more during prenatal care. The eating behavior with the highest average score was external eating behavior (30 ±5.7), followed by emotional eating behavior (26 ± 6.8) and restrictive eating behavior (22 ±3.1). Postpartum black women with obesity presented three dimensions of eating behavior, in which external eating behavior was more prominent among those investigated.
