title: [Physiological and psychopathological aspects of eating behavior].
abstract: Eating behaviour variations are often observed in medical practice. Sometimes they are physiological manifestations, rarely they are paraphysiological, many times they amount to pathological behaviour. Their heterogeneity could account for treatment problems met by the family doctor. Our study was aimed to increase the family doctor's attention to the eating behaviour of their patients. Greater awareness in family doctors of problems in their patients' eating behaviour may be apt to lead to an improvement in dietary habits and consequently to greater psychologic and physical wellbeing of the patients.
