Executive functioning and dietary intake: Neurocognitive correlates of fruit, vegetable, and saturated fat intake in adults with obesity
Appetite, 01/24/2017
In
the current study, researchers inspected the relationship between
executive functioning and consumption of saturated fat, fruits, and
vegetables in an overweight/obese sample utilizing behavioral measures
of executive function and dietary recall. Further research is required
to decide causality as diet and executive functioning may
bidirectionally impact each other.
- Total 190 overweight and obese adults finished neuropsychological evaluations measuring intelligence, planning ability, and inhibitory control followed by 3 dietary recall evaluations within a month prior to beginning a behavioral weight loss treatment program.
- Inhibitory control and two of the three indices of planning each independently significantly predicted fruit and vegetable intake such that those with better inhibition and planning ability consumed more fruits and vegetables.
- No connection was found between executive functioning and saturated fat intake.
- Results increase understanding of how executive functioning influences eating behavior in overweight and obese adults, and recommend the significance of including executive functioning training components in dietary interventions for those with obesity.
