“…From the viewpoint of the psychiatrist, it is clear that any addictions, from tobacco consumption to online shopping, would dramatically increase during such period. Quarantine and isolation lead to impatience and risk-seeking behavior that in turn have been recently found to increase the likelihood to become obese [2]. In line with those intuitions, our poll shows that a considerable part of the population finds comfort and consolation through food consumption.…”

Relationship between monetary delay discounting and obesity: A systematic review and meta-regression Background and objectives: Previous studies have documented that high rates of delay discounting are associated with obesity. However, studies utilizing monetary reward experiments typically report no associations, as opposed to positive associations apparent in studies utilising food-reward experiments. Our objective was to investigate the reasons behind the mixed evidence from a methodological perspective using systematic review and meta-analytic methodologies. Methods: Seven databases (EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science, Econlit and IBSS) were systematically searched. Logistic meta-regression was applied to identify the determinants of a significant association and risk of bias was assessed using a modified form of the Newcastle Ottawa cohort scale. Results: A total of 59 studies were identified, among which 29 studies (49.2%) found a significant positive association and 29 (49.2%) reported no association. A higher proportion of significant and positive associations was reported in those studies utilizing 'best-practice' methods (i.e. appropriate measurement models) to estimate monetary delay discounting (15/27; 55.6%) and incentive-compatible experiments (10/16; 62.5%) than those using non-'best-practice' methods (14/34; 41.2%) and hypothetical experiments (19/43; 44.2%). All five studies utilizing both 'best-practice' methods and incentive-compatible experiments generated a positive and significant relationship. Results from a logistic meta-regression also suggested that studies 3 employing incentive-compatible experiments (OR: 4.38, 95% CI = 1.05-18.33, p-value: 0.04), 'best-practice' methods (OR: 4.40, 95% CI = 0.88-22.99, p-value: 0.07), parametric methods (OR: 3.36, 95% CI = 0.83-13.57, p-value: 0.04), those conducted in children/adolescent populations (OR: 3.90, 95% CI = 0.85-17.88, p-value: 0.08), and those with larger sample size (OR: 1.91, 95% CI = 1.15-3.18, p-value: 0.01) tended to show positive and significant associations between delay discounting and obesity. Conclusions: This review suggests that the mixed evidence to date is a result of methodological heterogeneity, and that future studies should utilise 'best practice' methods.

“…Thus, delay discounting measures gauge the ability to suppress present-moment impulse in the service of valued longer-term goals with higher patience indicating higher self-regulatory performance. [25,26] In this study, we utilized a survey question on monetary tradeoffs related to delayed discounting. Speci cally, participants were asked whether they would prefer to receive $10 in 30 days or larger monetary sums ($12, $15, $18) in 60 days.…”

Background: Emotional eating, the tendency to overeat in response to negative emotions, has often been linked to weight gain. However, scant evidence exists examining prevalence and correlates of emotional eating among large samples of adults in the United States (US). Hence, we examine the relationship between individual and socio-economic factors, health behaviors, and self-regulation to emotional eating patterns among US adults. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of 5,863 Family Health Habits Survey participants. Multivariable ordered logistic regression was employed to examine the relationship between the frequency of the desire to eat when emotionally upset (never, rarely, sometimes, often, and very often) to the independent variables. Results: Analysis reveals that 20.5% of the sample tended to emotionally eat often or very often. Being female, non-Hispanic white, and of younger age were all related to a higher likelihood of emotional eating. Additionally, inability to delay gratification (impatience) was related to an 18% increased likelihood (95%CI 1.05-1.33) for emotional eating. Finally, emotional eating was significantly related to more frequent fast food consumption, and increased alcohol intake. Conclusions: Program planners might need to develop targeted interventions aimed at enhancing emotional regulation skills while addressing these less healthful behaviors (e.g., fast-food intake) with the ultimate goal of obesity and chronic disease prevention. To examine the relationship between individual and socio-economic factors, health behaviors, and self-regulation to emotional eating patterns among adults.
