In the investigatgor's clinical practice, eating-related problems (increased or decreased appetite, uncontrolled eating, etc.) are observed in fibromyalgia patients. In this study, it will be investigated whether this situation is different from healthy population and whether it is related with the healt status. Patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia according to 2013 American College of Rheumatology criteria and healthy volunteers are planned to be included in the study. Demographic data (sex, age, level of education, job, socio-economic situation) will be questioned and their body mass indexes (BMI) will be calculated from all participitants All participants' eating behaviour will be questioned with Three Factor Eating Questionnaire. In fibromyalgia patients, effect of fibromyalgia on the daily life of the patients will be questioned with Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire.
Interventions
OTHEREating Behaviours
Patients' eating behaviour will be questioned with Three Factor Eating Questionnaire. The 18-item Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire is a scale that measures three domains of eating behavior: cognitive restraint , uncontrolled eating and emotional eating.
OTHERHealth Status
The effect of fibromyalgia on the daily life of the patients will be questioned with Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ). The FIQ was developed from information gathered from patient reports, functional status instruments, and clinical observations.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| eating behaviour | 7 days | Participants' eating behaviour will be questioned with Three Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ). The TFEQ contains 51 items (questions) and measures three dimensions of human eating behavior 'cognitive restraint of eating' (Factor I - 21 items) 'disinhibition' (Factor II - 16 items) 'hunger' (Factor III - 14 items). Each item scores either 0 or 1 point. The minimum score for factors I-II-III is therefore 0-0-0, the possible maximum score 21-16-14. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| body mass index | 1 day | The participants' weights and heights will be measured and the body mass index will be calculated from the measured values. |
| sex | 1 day | It will be registered as male or female. |
| age | 1 day | The age of the participant will be recorded. |
| activities of daily living | 7 days | The effect of fibromyalgia on the daily life of the patients will be questioned with Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ). The FIQ was developed from information gathered from patient reports, functional status instruments, and clinical observations. This instrument measures 10 items (physical functioning, work status (missed days of work and job difficulty), depression, anxiety, morning tiredness, pain, stiffness, fatigue, and well-being) over the past week. The maximum possible score of each subtitle is 10. Thus, the total maximum score is 100, a lower score indicates better quality of life. |
| job | 1 day | The job will be recorded as unemployed, housewife, office worker or heavy duty worker. |
| socio-economic situation | 1 day | Socio-economic situation will be recorded as income less than expense, income equal to expense or income lower than expense. |
