Moderating Role

Low self-control and financial strain may limit individuals’ capacity to resist temptations in the local food environment. We investigated the moderating role of self-control and financial strain in the relation between the food environment and higher body weight. We used data from 2812 Dutch adults who participated in the population-based GLOBE study in 2014. Participants’ home addresses and the location of food retailers in 2013 were mapped using GIS. The density of fast food retailers and the totality of food retailers in Euclidean buffers of 250, 400 and 800 m around the home were linked to body mass index and overweight status. A higher density of fast food outlets (B (95% confidence interval (CI)) = −0.04 (−0.07; −0.01)) and the totality of food outlets (B (95% CI) = −0.01 (−0.01; −0.00)) were associated with a lower body mass index. Stratification showed that associations were strongest for those experiencing low self-control or great financial strain. For example, every additional fast food outlet was associated with a 0.17 point lower BMI in those with great financial strain, while not significantly associated with BMI in those with no financial strain. In conclusion, we did find support for a moderating role of self-control and financial strain, but associations between the food environment and weight status were not in the expected direction.

Onset of puberty has been associated with lower body mass index (BMI) in adulthood independent of childhood BMI. However, how the relationship between time of onset of puberty and BMI in adulthood is associated with neurocognitive outcomes is largely unstudied. Here, women were sampled from the Human Connectome Project 1200 PTN release. Inclusion criteria were: 4 (15 minute) resting state fMRI scans, current measured BMI, self-reported age at onset of menstruation (a proxy of age at onset of puberty), and no endocrine complications (e.g., polycystic ovarian syndrome). The effect of age at onset of menstruation, measured BMI at scan date, and the interaction of age at onset of menstruation by BMI on brain functional correlation was modeled using FSLnets controlling for race and age at scan. Corrected significance was set at pFWE<0.05. A final sample of n=510 (age 29.5y±3.6; BMI at scan 25.9±5.6; age at onset of menstruation 12.7±1.6) were included. Age at onset of menstruation was negatively associated with BMI at scan (r=-0.19, p<0.001). The interaction between age at onset of menstruation and BMI at scan was associated with stronger correlation between a somatosensory and visual network (t= 3.45, pFWE= 0.026), and a visual network and cingulo-opercular task control network (t= 4.74, pFWE= 0.0002). We show increased correlation between visual, taste-associated, and self-control brain regions in women at high BMI with later age at onset of menstruation. Together, this implies that the association between later menarche and lower BMI may impart improved self-control during exposure to visual cues.

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the levels of self-control and emotion regulation strategies among college students with high and normal body mass index (BMI). Materials and Methods: The present cross-sectional causal-descriptive study was conducted on female students with a high BMI at the Azad University of Roudehen, Iran, during the academic year of 2018-2019. The sample size was selected by the convenience sampling method (50 girls with high BMI and 50 girls with normal body weight). The data were collected using the self-control scale and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire. Data analysis was performed in SPSS software (version 23) by ANOVA and t-test. Results: According to the results, students with high BMI had lower levels of self-control and positive emotional regulation, compared to those with normal BMI. Moreover, the individuals with high BMI had a higher level of negative emotional regulation, compared to those with normal BMI. Conclusion: Strategies for emotion regulation are very important for self-control, eating styles, and BMI. It is, therefore, suggested to apply this intervention for the treatment of obesity.

The Relationship

The correlation between evening type, body mass index (BMI), and obesity has attracted the attention of researchers. In this study, I surveyed a sample of adults drawn from the general population in the US to examine whether or not evening types have a higher BMI than do other chronotypes and whether or not they are more likely than other chronotypes to become obese. I also proposed a personality-based explanation of the relationship between BMI, evening type, and obesity, with self-control as the mediator. As hypothesized, I found that evening types had a higher BMI and were more likely to be obese than were either morning types or intermediate types. The finding that the positive relationship between eveningness and BMI can be completely mediated by self-control is most significant.
