dc.description.abstractEste estudo investiga a relação entre experiências adversas na infância (ACEs) e comportamentos alimentares em indivíduos obesos, focando no papel mediador do controle cognitivo. Utilizando uma amostra de 95 participantes, com idades entre 22 e 75 anos, o estudo aplicou questionários para medir experiências de trauma infantil, controle cognitivo e comportamentos alimentares específicos, como a responsividade alimentar, fome e comer emocional. Os resultados indicaram que o controle cognitivo medeia significativamente a relação entre ACEs e responsividade alimentar e fome, mas não entre ACEs e comer emocional. Estes achados sugerem que o impacto das ACEs nos comportamentos alimentares é complexo e é influenciado por mecanismos cognitivos e emocionais. As implicações clínicas incluem a necessidade de intervenções que abordem tanto os défices cognitivos quanto os aspectos emocionais em indivíduos obesos com histórico de traumas infantis.pt_PT
dc.description.abstractThis study examines the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and eating behaviors in obese individuals, focusing on the mediating role of cognitive control. Using a sample of 95 participants, aged 22 to 75 years, the study employed questionnaires to measure childhood trauma experiences, cognitive control, and specific eating behaviors such as food responsiveness, hunger, and emotional eating. The results indicated that cognitive control significantly mediates the relationship between ACEs and both food responsiveness and hunger, but not between ACES and emotional eating. Theres’s findings suggest that the impact of ACEs on eating behaviors is complex, influenced by cognitive and emotional mechanisms. Clinical implications include the need for interventions addressing both cognitive deficits and emotional aspects in obese individuals with a history of childhood trauma.pt_PT
