Neurocognitive factors predicting BMI changes from adolescence to young adulthood
Authors' conclusion
Our findings support the hypothesis that cognitive vulnerability could predict the BMI gain from adolescence to young adulthood.
Study context
- Population
- Adolescents followed to young adulthood; BMI groups in adolescence318 anti-saccade
- Outcome
- Change in BMI z score (∆BMI z score) from adolescence to young adulthood
- Follow-up
- Adolescence to young adulthood
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
∆BMI z score
- Interaction of BMI z score with anti-saccade task accuracy on ∆BMI z score
- β = −0.002, p < 0.05
- Neutral and loss accuracies, overweight group
- all β = −0.004, p = 0.05
- Neutral and loss accuracies, obesity group
- β = −0.006 and β = −0.005, p < 0.01
- Interaction of BMI z score with Stroop control trial reaction time
- β = −0.312, p < 0.001
- Interaction of BMI z score with Stroop incongruent trial reaction time
- β = −0.384, p < 0.001
- Stroop control trial reaction time, overweight group
- β = 0.730, p = 0.036
- Stroop incongruent trial reaction time, overweight group
- β = 0.535, p = 0.033
