Associations between sleep and appetitive traits in higher-income preschoolers: A six-month study
Conclusions: Shorter usual sleep, per the parent report, was cross-sectionally associated with reduced satiety responsiveness in this sample of higher-income preschoolers. Future studies should consider whether socioeconomic status may modify the impact of poor sleep on appetitive traits in early childhood.PMID:38346496 | DOI:10.1016/j.appet.2024.107254 (Source: Appetite)

Food-related exploration across the menstrual cycle
Appetite. 2024 Feb 9:107261. doi: 10.1016/j.appet.2024.107261. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWhen deciding what to eat we constantly weigh different aspects of the options at hand and make trade-offs between exploiting opportunities with a known outcome (e.g., eating your usual meal) and exploring novel opportunities with a potentially better outcome (e.g., trying a new dish). Environmental factors, such as scarcity, have previously been shown to tip the balance towards either exploration or exploitation. Studies on animals have further linked female steroid hormones (including estradiol and progesterone) to exploratory be...

Four studies yield limited evidence for prepared (disgust) learning via evaluative conditioning
Appetite. 2024 Feb 9:107256. doi: 10.1016/j.appet.2024.107256. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPrepared learning accounts suggest that specialized learning mechanisms increase the retention of associations linked to ancestrally-prevalent threats. Few studies have investigated specialized aversion learning for pathogen threats. In four pre-registered studies (N's = 515, 495, 164, 175), we employed an evaluative conditioning procedure to test whether foods (versus non-foods) are more readily associated with negative content associated with pathogens than negative content not associated with pathogens. Participants saw negative...

Child eating behaviors are consistently linked to intake across meals that vary in portion size
Appetite. 2024 Feb 8:107258. doi: 10.1016/j.appet.2024.107258. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPrior studies evaluating a single meal in children characterized an "obesogenic" style of eating marked by larger bites and faster eating. It is unclear if this style is consistent across portion sizes within children so we examined eating behaviors in 91 children (7-8 years, 45 F) without obesity (BMI<90th percentile). Children consumed 4 ad libitum meals in the laboratory consisting of chicken nuggets, macaroni, grapes, and broccoli that varied in portion size (100%, 133%, 166%, 200%) with a maximum of 30 min allotted per meal...

Anorexia of ageing is associated with elevated fasted and lower post-prandial ghrelin, independent of ghrelin O-acyltransferase
Appetite. 2024 Feb 8:107259. doi: 10.1016/j.appet.2024.107259. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe role of ghrelin metabolism in anorexia of ageing is unclear. The aim of this study was to determine acyl-ghrelin, total ghrelin, and ghrelin O-acyltransferase concentrations when fasted and in responses to feeding in older adults exhibiting anorexia of ageing. Twenty-five older adults (OA; 15f, 74 ± 7 years, 24.5 kg m-2) and twelve younger adults (YA; 6f, 21 ± 2 years, 24.4 kg m-2) provided a fasted measure of subjective appetite and fasted blood sample (0 min) before consuming a standardised porridge breakfast meal (450 kcal...

Associations between parental engagement in disordered eating behaviors and use of specific food parenting practices within a racially, ethnically, and socioeconomically diverse sample
Appetite. 2024 Feb 6;195:107253. doi: 10.1016/j.appet.2024.107253. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTParents influence their children's eating behaviors through their use of food parenting practices, or goal-directed behaviors that guide both what and how they feed their child. Prior research suggests that parents who engage in disordered eating behaviors are more likely to use coercive food parenting practices, which are known to be associated with the development of maladaptive eating behaviors in young people. The present study sought to extend our current understanding by examining the association between parental engageme...

Understanding consumer attitude toward the name framings of cultured meat: Evidence from China
Appetite. 2024 Feb 2;195:107240. doi: 10.1016/j.appet.2024.107240. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe naming and labeling of products can affect consumer attitudes and subsequent behavior, particularly in the case of new food products in the market. The present study explores the effects of name framing on consumer attitudes towards cultured meat (CM), which is currently in the early stages of development. With a sample of 1532 Chinese consumers, we integrated several pathways to explain the name-framing effect by examining three different terms ("cultured," "artificial," and "cell-based") for CM. Results indicate that "cul...

The effectiveness of Go/No-Go and Stop-Signal training in reducing food consumption and choice: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Appetite. 2024 Feb 2;195:107215. doi: 10.1016/j.appet.2024.107215. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Go/No-Go and Stop-Signal tasks have been used to reduce excess food intake via repeated pairing of food cues with response inhibition. A meta analysis of 32 studies was conducted to determine whether, and under which conditions, the Go/No-Go and Stop-Signal training tasks are effective in reducing food consumption or choice. Moderators included task parameters (e.g., number of sessions, stop signal), sample differences (e.g., age, weight), and the measure of food consumption or choice. Overall, there was a small effect for ...

The role of decision-making and impulsivity in beverage consumption
This study aimed to explore the mediating role of decision-making processes in the relationship between trait impulsivity and calorie dense beverage consumption. Participants comprised a community sample of 300 adults (aged 19-75). They completed self-report measures assessing impulsivity (SUPPS-P), reward sensitivity (RST-PQ), and participated in decision-making tasks related to risk propensity (BART), short-term strategy preference (IGT), and delay discounting rate. Beverage consumption was calculated using the BEVQ-15. Impulsivity was conceptualised within the framework of the two-factor model as consisting of rash impu...

"A good way to start the day": UK-based parents' views about offering vegetables to children for breakfast
Appetite. 2024 Jan 30;195:107239. doi: 10.1016/j.appet.2024.107239. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChildren in the UK do not eat enough vegetables for optimal health and development; therefore, considering methods to increase children's vegetable intake is critical. Currently, if UK children are offered vegetables to eat, this typically occurs at midday/evening meals, and/or for snacks - children are seldom offered vegetables at breakfast time, even though there is no medical, nutritional, or physiological reason not to. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the views and experiences of parents in relation to offering chil...
