Impaired color naming of food and body shape words: weight phobia or distinct affective state?

Article Abstract:

Concern with body shape and weight correlates with subclinical phobic anxiety. A study on women with high scores on the Drive For Thinness (DT) subscale of the Eating Disorders Inventory reveals that DT scores are positively correlated with impairment in the color naming of food words. High DT individuals color name body shape-related words more slowly than matched neutral words. However, the degree of DT hardly affects the color naming performance, suggesting that food and body shape-related concerns are separate and discreet affective states.

An investigation of satiety in ageing, dementia, and hyperphagia

Article Abstract:

Food consumption of young, middle-aged, healthy elderly adults and nonhyperphagic and hyperphagic aged individuals with dementia are examined to determine the effects of ageing, dementia and hyperphagia in satiety. Results show that appetite control is les accurate with the elderly and with the dementia groups. Thus, the food intake of the elderly, particularly those with dementia, should be supervised to prevent over- or under-eating.
