Executive Function Moderates the Association Between Food Insecurity Exposure and Uncontrolled Eating Among First-Year College Students

Résumé fourni par la source

Objectives: The transition to college may increase the risk of food insecurity (FI) and maladaptive eating behaviors, including uncontrolled eating (UE), lack of control over high food intake, among first-year students. The ability to regulate eating behaviors under constrained resources may be associated with executive function (EF), high-level cognitive skills for managing daily tasks. Yet, whether changes in FI over the first college semester may correlate with UE and whether EF moderates the association have not been examined.
