This cross-sectional study was based on the Cypriot cohort of the MedWeight study and examined differences between maintainers and regainers regarding personality traits. Participants were men and women who reported being at least overweight and experienced an intentional weight loss of ≥10% of their maximum weight, at least 1 year before participation. Assessment of personality, diet and physical activity was conducted through validated questionnaires and with 24 h recalls. Findings from logistic regression analysis indicated that the odds of maintaining weight loss increased to 50% for agreeableness and decreased to 20 and 7% for perseverance and motor impulsiveness, respectively. Specific aspects of personality and impulsivity are relevant to weight loss maintenance and need to be considered when developing weight management interventions.
这项横断面研究基于MedWeight研究的塞浦路斯队列,考察了体重维持者和体重反弹者在人格特质方面的差异。参与者为男性和女性,他们报告称至少超重,并且在参与研究至少1年前有意减掉了其最大体重的≥10%。通过经过验证的问卷以及24小时饮食回顾来进行人格、饮食和身体活动的评估。逻辑回归分析的结果表明,随和性方面体重维持的几率增加到50%,而毅力和运动冲动性方面分别降至20%和7%。人格和冲动性的具体方面与体重减轻维持相关,在制定体重管理干预措施时需要加以考虑。
