Psychometric Properties of Eating Behaviour Instruments for Older Adults: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Journal of human nutrition and dietetics : the official journal of the British Dietetic Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionAlthough eating behaviour in children, adolescents and adults has been linked to changes in body mass, eating disorders and non-communicable diseases, there is still uncertainty about how this behaviour has been measured in populations aged 60 and over, who are often exposed to age-related physiological and cognitive changes, increased malnutrition risk and underrepresented in psychometric research.
aimTo analyse how eating behaviour has been investigated in people aged 60 and over.
methodsFollowing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and the Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN), three independent researchers selected articles from four databases from 2000 to the present. INCLUSION CRITERIA: (1) Studies on adaptation, development, or evaluation of psychometric properties of eating behaviour instruments; (2) Studies with participants aged ≥ 60 years, or with a significant proportion/stratified results for this group; (3) Publications in English, Spanish, or Portuguese; and (4) Articles published from 2000 to 2024. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: (1) Studies on food consumption; (2) Instruments for diagnosing eating disorders; and (3) Non-original articles.
resultsEight instruments were identified for assessing eating behaviour in older adults, with the majority developed in Europe. Methodological shortcomings were present across all instruments, particularly in the areas of development, content validity, internal validity and consistency.
conclusionsAll instruments exhibit questionable methodological robustness, highlighting the need for more rigorous and culturally sensitive approaches to the development and adaptation of tools for this population.
