Abstract
Objective: To determine the relationship of mood state and impulsivity with cue-induced food craving. Materials and Methods: Forty obese adults (group average age±SD; 42.68±11.62 years) participated in this cross-sectional study. Each participant was assessed for (i) positive and negative mood states, (ii) impulsivity, and (iii) cue-induced food craving (FC). Results: Linear regression analysis showed a significant negative association between a more positive and less negative mood state and cue-induced FC, while a positive association between impulsivity and FC. Conclusion: A more positive and less negative mood state is negatively associated with FC, whereas state impulsivity is positively associated with FC in obese persons.
