Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação em Nutrição) - Faculdade de Ciências da Saúde do Trairi, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Santa Cruz, 2019.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/34723The Adult Eating Behavior Questionnaire (AEBQ) evaluates 8 dimensions (Hunger, Food Responsiveness, Emotional Overfeeding, Pleasure with Food, Satiety Responsiveness, Emotional Underfeeding, Food Fusiness and Slow in eating ), which allows to trace a relatively broad profile of its respondents. The purpose of this study is to elaborate the Brazilian version of this instrument, adapting it transculturally. Therefore, original AEBQ version underwent through stages of translation, version comparison, clarity assessment and comprehension, verbal comprehension, pre-test and validation. Validation step was performed with adults of both sexes from all Brazilian regions (n = 729). Participants were enrolled via social networks and answered the questionnaire through a Google Forms link. The Brazilian AEBQ version was evaluated as an easy-to-understand instrument and Confirmatory Factor Analysis presented fit-indices similiar to those of original AEBQ version. However, two of the eight dimensions presented internal consistency lower than 0.7: Hunger (0.671) and Satiety Responsiveness (0.584). Moreover, there was an item reduction, from 35 to 33. Initial results are promising, but further studies are needed to improve the instrument.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/Comportamento Alimentar.
