- Legend: Subjects completed the Treatment Self Regulation Questionnaire (TSRQ) for eating a healthy diet and exercise, the Perceived Competence Scales for Eating Healthy and Exercising Regularly, and the General Self-Efficacy Scale. Subjects assigned a score between 1 and 7 for each item, with higher scores indicating the statement is more “true” for themselves. The data are expressed as the means ± standard deviation (SD), or as the median with the 25-75% interquartile range (IQR) for non-normal data (perceived competence)
- *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 for comparisons between normal weight subjects and overweight/obese subjects
