- Older adults are increasingly facing issues with overweight and obesity, making them a crucial group for healthy weight promotion efforts, yet research on their eating behaviors is limited.
- In a study involving 964 older adults, researchers explored the relationship between BMI and maladaptive eating behaviors over time, using self-reported data and established questionnaires.
- Findings showed a cross-sectional link between higher BMI and certain maladaptive eating habits, but no significant long-term interactions were identified, suggesting that these eating behaviors may be more stable and rooted compared to those in younger populations.
