Impulsivity has been suggested to be associated with obesity. However, findings are fairly inconsistent and it appears that only specific facets of impulsivity are related to overeating and body mass. In this study, relationships between scores on a short form of the and body mass index were examined in a heterogeneous sample ( = 3073). After controlling for age and sex, only scores on attentional and motor impulsivity, but not non-planning impulsivity, were predictive of higher body mass index. The magnitude of these relationships, however, was very small. Thus, future research needs to address possible mediators and moderators of the relationship between impulsivity and body mass in order to explain why only specific facets of impulsivity appear to play a role in obesity and under which circumstances heightened impulsivity levels are associated with higher body weight.
冲动性被认为与肥胖有关。然而，研究结果相当不一致，似乎只有特定方面的冲动性与暴饮暴食和体重有关。在本研究中，我们在一个异质性样本（n = 3073）中检验了简短版[具体量表名称缺失]得分与体重指数之间的关系。在控制了年龄和性别后，只有注意力冲动性和运动冲动性得分，而非无计划冲动性得分，能够预测更高的体重指数。然而，这些关系的强度非常小。因此，未来的研究需要探讨冲动性与体重之间关系的可能中介因素和调节因素，以解释为什么只有特定方面的冲动性似乎在肥胖中起作用，以及在哪些情况下较高的冲动性水平与更高的体重相关。
