Brief summary

The researchers hypothesise there is a link between social anxiety, intuitive eating, mindful eating and anthropometric measurements of obese adolescents. Objectives: To assess the connections between social anxiety, intuitive eating, mindful eating, and anthropometric measurements of adolescents who are obese or normal weight.
