“…According to Day et al . :IV), ‘harm avoidance’ predicted preference for the taste of low‐fat food alternatives, although the amount of variance explained by ‘harm avoidance’ was small.…”

Personality traits and obesity: a systematic review

Based on a bio-social-ecological systems model of the development and maintenance of obesity, there has been in the last few years a growing research interest in the association of obesity and personality traits. The aim of the present review was a comprehensive and critical evaluation of the existing literature taking into account the methodological quality of studies to enhance our understanding of personality traits associated with body weight, the development of overweight and obesity as well as the effectiveness of weight loss interventions including bariatric surgery. Personality traits play an important role both as risk as well as protective factors in the development of overweight and obesity. While thus in particular 'neuroticism', 'impulsivity' and 'sensitivity to reward' appear as risk factors, 'conscientiousness' and 'self-control' have been shown to have a protective function in relation to weight gain. Conscientiousness is a measure of regulation of internal urges and self-discipline, and may thus provide a potential source of control over impulsive reward-oriented behaviour. The results of the present review suggest that, within the context of therapeutic weight reduction measures, it is meaningful to identify subgroups of patients for whom specific treatment options need to be developed, such as measures for strengthening self-control skills.

“…Estrus cycle status was not controlled in these studies, and female hormones are known to affect fat intake [35]. Further, males have been shown to have a significantly stronger preference for fat than females [36], and it may have been necessary to examine a different percentage of fat to observe an effect in females. Consistent with known sex differences in DAT expression [37], DAT was unchanged in the females and this may partly explain the observed differences in fat preference.…”

Methyl Donor Supplementation Blocks the Adverse Effects of Maternal High Fat Diet on Offspring Physiology

Maternal consumption of a high fat diet during pregnancy increases the offspring risk for obesity. Using a mouse model, we have previously shown that maternal consumption of a high fat (60%) diet leads to global and gene specific decreases in DNA methylation in the brain of the offspring. The present experiments were designed to attempt to reverse this DNA hypomethylation through supplementation of the maternal diet with methyl donors, and to determine whether methyl donor supplementation could block or attenuate phenotypes associated with maternal consumption of a HF diet. Metabolic and behavioral (fat preference) outcomes were assessed in male and female adult offspring. Expression of the mu-opioid receptor and dopamine transporter mRNA, as well as global DNA methylation were measured in the brain. Supplementation of the maternal diet with methyl donors attenuated the development of some of the adverse effects seen in offspring from dams fed a high fat diet; including weight gain, increased fat preference (males), changes in CNS gene expression and global hypomethylation in the prefrontal cortex. Notable sex differences were observed. These findings identify the importance of balanced methylation status during pregnancy, particularly in the context of a maternal high fat diet, for optimal offspring outcome.

“…Die Reliabilität aller drei Skalen des FPQ © ergibt sich durch Test-Retest-Korrelationen zwischen R=0,621-0,793 (p<0,001). Ebenso wie frühere Studien (11,12) zeigte auch die aktuelle Studie, dass der FPQ © stark mit der tatsächlichen Nahrungsaufnahme und dem generellen Essverhalten assoziiert ist.…”

“…Day et al (12) zeigten, dass die Fett-Präferenz eher vom generellen Essverhalten als von persönlichen Empfindungen (z.B. Beharrlichkeit, Schadensabwendung) abhängig ist.…”

ZusammenfassungMenschen unterscheiden sich aus gustatori-schen und verhaltensassoziierten Gründen in ihrer Fett-Präferenz, welche die Nahrungsaus-wahl und die Energieaufnahme beeinflusst und sich dadurch auch auf das Körpergewicht auswirken kann. In dieser Studie wurde eine deutschsprachige Version des Fett-Präferenz-Fragebogens (Fat Preference Questionnaire, FPQ©) und dessen externe Validität anhand von Ernährungstagebüchern sowie Fragebögen zum Essverhalten evaluiert. Der FPQ© besteht aus drei Skalen und erhebt bei 19 fettreichen bzw. fettreduzierten Lebensmitteln, wie viel Prozent der fettreichen Variante geschmacklich bevorzugt (GESCHMACK) und häufiger verzehrt werden (HÄUFIGKEIT). Die Differenz der beiden Skalen ist ein Maß für gezügeltes Essverhalten (DIFFERENZ). Die externe Validität belegen positive Korrelationen von GESCHMACK bzw. HÄUFIGKEIT sowie eine negative Korrelation der DIFFERENZ mit dem tatsächlichen Fettgehalt der aufgenommenen Nahrung. Die Parameter „kognitive Kontrolle” und „gezügeltes Essverhalten” korrelieren positiv mit der DIFFERENZ. Der FPQ© ist eine schnelle, zuverlässige Methode zur Erfassung der Fett-Präferenz, der Rückschlüsse auf gezügeltes Essverhalten ermöglicht.
