Stress is a commonly reported precipitant of overeating. Understanding the relationship between stress and food intake is important, particularly in view of the increasing prevalence of obesity. The purpose of this review is to examine how stress-related eating has been defined and measured in the literature to date. There are no established diagnostic criteria or gold standards for quantification of stress-related eating. Questionnaires relying on the accuracy of self-report are the mainstay of identifying people who tend to eat in response to stress and emotions. There is a paucity of clinical research linking objective measurements of stress and appetite with self-reported eating behaviour. Limitations of the methodological approaches used and the heterogeneity between studies leave significant knowledge gaps in our understanding of the mechanism of stress related eating, and how best to identify it. These issues are discussed, and areas for further research are explored.

在行为研究中发现与压力有关的饮食：综述。

压力是暴饮暴食的普遍报道。了解压力与食物摄入量之间的关系非常重要，尤其是鉴于肥胖的患病率正在上升。这篇综述的目的是研究迄今为止在文献中如何定义和测量与压力有关的饮食。目前尚无定量的诊断标准或金标准来量化与压力有关的饮食。依靠自我报告准确性的问卷调查是识别倾向于因压力和情绪而进食的人的主要手段。很少有临床研究将压力和食欲的客观测量与自我报告的饮食行为联系起来。所使用的方法学方法的局限性以及研究之间的异质性在我们对与压力有关的进食机制以及如何最好地识别它的理解方面留下了巨大的知识空白。讨论了这些问题，并探索了需要进一步研究的领域。
