  • * The study included 118 participants (87 children/adolescents and 31 adults) with PWS, assessing various health metrics, including glucose and cholesterol levels, as well as using a Hyperphagia Questionnaire to measure eating behaviors.
  • * Results showed that adults had higher asprosin levels than adolescents, and those with obesity had higher levels than normal-weight individuals, but no significant correlation was found between asprosin and metabolic health indicators;

Background: Eating in the absence of hunger (EAH) is a behavioral phenotype of pediatric obesity characterized by the consumption of palatable foods beyond hunger. Studies in children have identified EAH to be stable over time, but findings are unclear on whether it predicts the development of adiposity, particularly in middle childhood, a period of increased autonomy over food choices.

Objectives: We hypothesized that EAH would remain stable and be associated with increased adiposity over a ≥1-y prospective study in 7-8-y old children without obesity.

The proopiomelanocortin (Pomc)-derived peptides, including adrenocorticotropic hormone and α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-Msh), play both a central and a peripheral role in modulating the stress response. The central role is predominantly associated with nutrient homeostasis, while peripherally they play an important role in the synthesis of glucocorticoids (GCs) in response to stress. Pomc mutations are a major risk factor in the development of early-onset childhood obesity in humans.
