Relationship of eating behavior to long-term weight change and body mass index: the Healthy Twin study.

Eating and Weight Disorders : EWD
J SungY-M Song

Abstract

This study examined the relationships of the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) subscales with weight change and with current body mass index (BMI). A total of 1576 adult twins and their families (578 Korean men, 998 Korean women, age 44.5+/-12.9 years) participating in the Healthy Twin study completed a survey that included the DEBQ, self-reported weight at 20 years old and intentionally lost weight over the past 4 years. Their anthropometric measurements were taken. Using the general linear models, restrained eating was positively associated with weight gain from 20 years old to current age [beta (B) =1.01, standard error (SE)=0.27, p<0.001], and with current BMI (B=0.33, SE=0.09, p<0.001) after adjusting for demographics, health-related behaviors, energy intake, and emotional and external eating. Likewise, emotional eating was positively associated with weight gain (B=0.83, SE=0.28, p<0.001), and with current BMI (B=0.35, SE=0.10, p=0.003) after adjusting those factors, and restrained and external eating. However, external eating was not associated with both outcomes. In conclusion, high restrained eating or emotional eating may be indicators for long-term weight gain and high BMI in Korean twins and their families.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
