Excess submental fat (SMF) can cause submental fullness resulting in negative perceptions of individuals. However, the impact of SMF on perceptions of social traits has not been well studied.
To characterize the impact of SMF on external value judgments in adults in the United States.
Respondents completed an online survey in which they reacted to statements about individuals with varying grades of SMF. Attributes were rated on a scale from 0 to 100 with higher scores for more positive attributes.
Similar proportions of respondents (N = 1996) indicated that women and men with double chins were less attractive than those without (91% and 90%, respectively). A double chin was more likely to be noticed on a woman than on a man (78% of respondents). With increasing SMF, individuals were perceived as significantly less likeable, intelligent, happy, active, and easygoing. Those with greater amounts of SMF were rated as significantly less attractive than those with less SMF. For all attributes, male respondents rated all individuals lower than female respondents did.
Results from this study provide further evidence of negative perceptions of individuals with SMF. Aesthetics of the submental area, especially SMF, likely impact the overall assessment of attractiveness and social attributes.
颏下脂肪过多（SMF）会导致颏下饱满，从而导致人们对个体的负面看法。然而，SMF 对社会特征的感知影响尚未得到很好的研究。
描述美国成年人中 SMF 对外部价值判断的影响。
受访者完成了一项在线调查，他们对具有不同等级 SMF 的个体的陈述做出反应。属性的评分范围为 0 到 100，分数越高表示属性越积极。
相似比例的受访者（N=1996）表示，有双下巴的女性和男性比没有双下巴的女性和男性吸引力更小（分别为 91%和 90%）。双下巴在女性身上比在男性身上更容易被注意到（78%的受访者）。随着 SMF 的增加，个体被认为明显不那么可爱、聪明、快乐、活跃和随和。有更多 SMF 的个体被认为比有较少 SMF 的个体吸引力小。对于所有属性，男性受访者对所有个体的评分都低于女性受访者。
本研究的结果进一步证明了对有 SMF 的个体的负面看法。颏下区域的美观性，尤其是 SMF，可能会影响整体吸引力和社会属性的评估。
