However, in the total sample, unconditional permission to eat (subscale) was inversely related to total GWG (B = -0.16, p  less then  0.05). Among women with obesity (n = 36), eating for physical rather than emotional reasons (subscale) was inversely related to total GWG (B = -0.47, p  less then  0.05). DISCUSSION Some aspects of intuitive eating during the pre-conception period were related to total GWG, particularly for women with obesity. However, intuitive eating scores did not increase or decrease the likelihood of excess GWG. More research is needed to understand the mechanisms for this association before clinical recommendations can be made. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III (Evidence obtained from well-designed cohort or case-control analytic studies).The term regulatory "convergence" is apparently given many meanings in the field of medical products. Originally defined as a process of making regulatory requirements similar across countries, the term can now mean regulatory similarity of any degree, sometimes mixed with regulatory cooperation of almost any kind among countries. More concretely, the term can refer to regulatory authorities' complete or incomplete adoption of global guidelines, joint review/inspection of the dossiers or facilities with other regulatory authorities, accepting other authority's decision critically or uncritically, or any combination thereof. While the term has introduced a useful notion, the acquired ambiguity is causing a certain confusion in the discussion. This article tries to clarify the term's meanings in different contexts and resolve confusions. By going deeper than "convergence" to identify the elements that matters, the regulatory authorities, inter alia, should be able to formulate a more conscious and effective strategy on global medical product regulations.The article Long-term viga
