Changes in eating behavior traits and diet in older prediabetic men during a 3-year lifestyle intervention.
Article in European journal of nutrition, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeEating behavior traits are linked to diet, but how changes in these traits are associated with dietary changes, particularly in men, remains unclear. Understanding these associations may help develop personalized prevention and treatment strategies for non-communicable diseases such as type 2 diabetes. This study aimed to examine how eating behavior traits and food intake change in older Finnish men with prediabetes during a lifestyle intervention, and to explore the associations between these changes.
methodsThe Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire-R18 was used to assess three eating behavior traits (cognitive restraint, uncontrolled eating and emotional eating), and repeated 4-day food records were used to evaluate food intake in 368 prediabetic men aged 50–75 during a 3-year lifestyle intervention.
resultsDuring the intervention, cognitive restraint increased while uncontrolled eating and emotional eating decreased (FDR-p < 0.001 for all). The intake of fiber-rich foods increased and the intake of foods rich in saturated fat decreased. A decrease in uncontrolled eating associated with decreases in the intake of sweet (FDR-p = 0.02) and savory pastries (FDR-p = 0.01) and chocolate (FDR-p = 0.02). A decrease in emotional eating was associated with a higher intake of vegetables, fruit and berries (FDR-p = 0.01).
conclusionsA decrease in uncontrolled and emotional eating plays a role in increased intake of vegetables, fruit and berries and decreased intake of energy-dense foods. The findings are essential to consider when developing effective prevention and treatment strategies for type 2 diabetes.
