A total of 150 patients with alimentary obesity, stage I-IV, were investigated. The control group was represented by 60 clinically normal subjects with normal body mass. The state of their food motivation was studied by the questionnaire method and with the aid of figure scale. It has been established that food motivation of obese patients acquires features of a dominant factor in the central nervous system activity, that determines both sharp activation of food behavior under the influence of stress, and effective release of psychoemotional stress after food intake. The degree of food motivation expression in obese patients is subjected to specific diurnal fluctuations with a maximal increase in the evening, thus evidencing peculiarity of diurnal rhythmic activity of the neuroendocrinal system and energy metabolism in alimentary obesity.
共对150例I - IV期营养性肥胖患者进行了研究。对照组由60名体重正常的临床健康受试者组成。通过问卷调查法并借助数字量表研究了他们的饮食动机状态。已确定肥胖患者的饮食动机具有中枢神经系统活动中主导因素的特征，这既决定了在压力影响下饮食行为的急剧激活，也决定了进食后心理情绪压力的有效释放。肥胖患者饮食动机表达的程度呈现特定的昼夜波动，傍晚时增幅最大，从而证明了营养性肥胖中神经内分泌系统昼夜节律活动和能量代谢的特殊性。
