“…Given our high‐risk sample of youth exposed to long‐term adversity, proficient EF may be conceptualized as a measure of resilience, which is described as the capacity to adjust, adapt, self‐stabilize, and self‐regulate in the context of adversity (42). Findings from a nationally representative study of youth aged 10 to 17 years found that child resilience, measured using indicators of curiosity, completing tasks, and staying calm/controlled when challenged, was associated with a lower risk for obesity (43), and that the relation was strongest among youth living in high‐poverty households, which has tremendous implications for prevention. Our findings provide evidence that EF may confer a degree of obesity resilience for some youth exposed to poverty.…”

The aim of this study was to identify longitudinal trajectories of conjoint development of executive function (EF) and obesity among a diverse sample of poor, rural youth and to evaluate individual differences in infant growth, parental BMI, and cumulative risk. Methods: Participants included 948 youth from the Family Life Project. Child anthropometrics were measured at 2 and 6 months and at 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 12 years. EF tasks were administered at 3, 4, and 5 years. Mothers reported youth birth weight, parental height and weight, and cumulative risk indicators. Results: Multidimensional growth mixture modeling identified three classes: "High EF-High Obesity Resilience"; "Low EF-Delayed-Onset Severe Obesity"; and "Low EF-Early-Onset Severe Obesity." Youth in the low-EF, early-onset class displayed higher birth weight and BMI at 6 months, whereas the low-EF, delayed-onset class had rapid weight gain during infancy, parents with class II obesity, and greater cumulative risk and was more likely to be Black and female. Conclusions: Despite increased obesity risk among this sample, the majority of youth exhibited higher EF and some degree of obesity resilience. Youth with EF deficits displayed the greatest risk for severe obesity but had differing BMI trajectories and obesity risk profiles, which has implications for obesity intervention.

“…Moreover, it has been reported that emotional resilience in adolescents is preventative against obesity. 22 Therefore, the approaches aiming to enhance emotional resilience may contribute to combating obesity. Regular physical activity, which is recommended in obesity treatment, provides positive outcomes in several obesity-related diseases such as cardiovascular diseases.…”

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effects of diet and regular exercise on resilience in obese or overweight women. Methods:The study was conducted with the 109 patients who applied to the obesity polyclinics. The patients were divided into three groups by their current disease conditions and willingness; those who were willing to both diet and exercise (diet + exercise group) (n: 35), those who were willing to only diet (diet group) (n: 37) and those who were not willing to recommended diet or exercise (control group) (n: 37).The "Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale" (CD-RISC) was applied to all the participants through face-to-face interviews. The CD-RISC scale was repeated 8 weeks after the first evaluation.Results: There was a significant difference between the total score and subscores of the scale in the intra-group comparison before and after the intervention (P < .05).When the groups were compared after the intervention, a significant difference was found between the diet group and the control group as well as the exercise +diet group and the control group (P < .05). Conclusion:We found that diet and exercise practices increased psychological endurance in obese or overweight women. In addition, positive improvements were also detected in psychological resilience subgroups such as perseverance and personal competence, tolerance to negative events and spiritual disposition.

“…Psychological resilience could serve as a protective factor that reduces the likelihood of obesity [ 26 ], particularly for those with low SS. Such protective effects could be due to the role of resilience in decreasing stress levels and resultant eating behaviors [ 27 ].…”

“…Optimism—a personality characteristic consistently reported in resilient and thriving individuals—has been associated with higher intake of fruit, vegetables, grains and lower intake of sugar [ 30 , 31 ]. Together, these findings suggest psychological resilience may play a role in reducing unhealthy eating behaviors and risk for obesity [ 26 , 27 ].…”

Psychological Resilience, Experimentally Manipulated Social Status, and Dietary Intake among Adolescents

et al. 2021

Relative to other racial/ethnic groups in the United States, Hispanic American (HA) youth have higher rates of overweight and obesity. Previous work suggests that low perceived social status (SS) promotes excess caloric intake and, thereby, development of obesity. Psychological resilience may play a role in reducing adverse eating behaviors and risk for obesity. The objective of this study was to investigate whether resilience (as measured by the Connor Davidson Resilience Scale) interacts with experimentally manipulated SS to affect dietary intake among HA adolescents (N = 132). Using a rigged game of Monopoly (Hasbro, Inc.), participants were randomized to a high or low SS condition. Following the Monopoly game, participants consumed an ad libitum lunch and their dietary intake was assessed. There was a significant interaction between resilience and experimentally manipulated SS for total energy intake (p = 0.006), percent energy needs consumed (p = 0.005), and sugar intake (p = 0.004). For the high SS condition, for each increase in resilience score, total energy intake decreased by 7.165 ± 2.866 kcal (p = 0.014) and percent energy needs consumed decreased by 0.394 ± 0.153 (p = 0.011). In the low SS condition, sugar intake increased by 0.621 ± 0.240 g for each increase in resilience score (p = 0.011). After correction for multiple comparisons, the aforementioned interactions, but not simple slopes, were statistically significant.
