Title of project: 
An adult eating questionnaire to measure disinhibition and restraint
Proposal summary: 

We wish to ask the children of the 90s a series of validated (the Three factor eating questionnaire TFEQ) questions about their eating behaviour and investigate the genetics of eating behaviour. This questionnaire complements the recently approved adult eating behaviour questionnaire because it specifically measures disinhibition and restraint rather than appetite and habits, althoguh the two are closely related.
