This review summarizes the eating behavior assessment tools (Eating disorder inventory, the Eating attitudes test, the Three-factor eating questionnaire, the Restraint scale, the Dutch eating behavior questionnaire, and the Childrens eating behavior inventory) which were translated into Korean versions and were either standardized or analyzed for reliability or validity.
