The main purpose of the study was to investigate temperament traits postulated in the Regulative Theory of Temperament that may contribute as risk factors to obesity and, potentially, to affective disorders in obese patients.
A cross-sectional design was applied in this study. The study was conducted on a group of 163 obese patients (BMI > 35) that included 59 men and 104 women compared with a control group that included 89 men and 113 women who were non-obese. Temperament was assessed using the formal characteristics of behaviour-temperament inventory (FCB-TI).
Obese patients compared with a control group scored lower in briskness, endurance and activity, and higher in perseveration. When compared with obese men, obese women had higher levels of perseveration and emotional reactivity, and showed lower levels of activity.
Temperament traits, including low levels of briskness, endurance and activity, may serve as risk factors for the development of obesity. Low levels of these traits with accompanying high levels of perseveration may potentially contribute as risk factors for affective disorders in obese patients. The findings suggest that obese women are at somewhat greater risk than obese men for the development of affective disorders.
本研究的主要目的是调查气质调节理论中假定的气质特征，这些特征可能作为肥胖的风险因素，并可能导致肥胖患者出现情感障碍。
本研究采用横断面设计。对一组163名肥胖患者（BMI>35）进行了研究，其中包括59名男性和104名女性，并与一个对照组进行比较，该对照组包括89名男性和113名非肥胖女性。使用行为气质量表的形式特征（FCB-TI）评估气质。
与对照组相比，肥胖患者在轻快性、耐力和活动方面得分较低，而在坚持性方面得分较高。与肥胖男性相比，肥胖女性的坚持性和情绪反应水平较高，而活动水平较低。
气质特征，包括低水平的轻快性、耐力和活动，可能是肥胖发生的风险因素。这些特征水平较低且伴有高水平的坚持性，可能是肥胖患者情感障碍的风险因素。研究结果表明，肥胖女性比肥胖男性患情感障碍的风险略高。
