Food cravings and loss‐of‐control eating in youth: Associations with gonadal hormone concentrations

Abstract: Objective: Among youth with overweight, food cravings (FC) are associated with lossof-control (LOC)-eating, but the impact of sex-associated biological characteristics on this relationship is unknown. We examined whether sex and gonadal hormone concentrations moderated the relationships between FC and LOC-eating severity among healthy boys and girls across the weight strata in natural and laboratory environments.Method: Using ecological momentary assessment (EMA), FC, and LOC-eating severity were reported 3-5 … Show more

“…In this study, Tanner’s puberty cut-offs were considered for girls ≥ 10 years of age and for boys ≥ 12 years of age [ 37 ]. This division has been cited by numerous researchers [ 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ].…”

“…Participants marked their severity on a visual analog scale from 0 (“Not at all”) to 100 (“Extremely”) for each item. The arithmetic mean of these responses was used as a composite score for LOC-eating severity, as reported in prior studies [ 46 , 48 ]. In the current sample, Cronbach’s alpha was 0.821.…”

“…One of the listed secondary hypotheses of the longitudinal study protocol proposed that the size of the nocturnal rise of leptin would be correlated with future weight gain. ANCOVA models were run using SPSS 27 with change in TBFM, percent fat mass, or total TrFM as the dependent variables and number of years of follow‐up, sex, race, baseline age, pubertal stage (categorized as prepuberty, early–mid‐puberty or late‐puberty 25 ), initial body composition (baseline TBFM, percent fat mass, or total TrFM), and baseline serum leptin circadian variables (acrophase leptin, leptin amplitude, and percentage change in leptin) as the independent factors. Analyses were also run for a variable similar to that used by Matkovic et al, 20 comparing leptin percentage rise at night (defined as average of 9 PM, midnight, 3 AM and 6 AM leptin) over daytime leptin (defined as average of 9 AM, noon, 3 PM, and 6 PM leptin), for the leptin increase between 6 PM and 12 midnight, and for minimal daily leptin concentration.…”
