Effects of Overnight Fasting on Appetite and Meal Behavior in Eating Disorders: A 1992 Laboratory Study
This dataset is from a 1992 study examining the effects of food deprivation on appetite, mood, and eating behavior in with inpatients from the Johns Hopkins Hospital Eating Disorder Unit and healthy community controls. Participants completed two counterbalanced dinner sessions in counterbalanced order, with at least one non-test day between sessions on alternating days during the first week of admission to the hospital. In the deprivation condition, inpatients started fasting after their 6pm dinner and healthy controls participants started fasting at 10 pm. The fast lasted until dinner the following day. In the non-deprivation condition, there was no fast. Visual analog scales (VAS) were used to assess hunger, thirst, desire to eat, fullness, prospective consumption (i.e. how much they thought they could eat), bloatedness, fear of fatness, desire to binge, desire to purge, alertness, guilt, depression, contentedness, and nausea before and after dinner. Dinner meals were consumed alone and video-recorded and coded for eating behaviors. Intake was measured by weighing foods before and after the consumption. Note: This data contains the raw individual coded eating behavior files.
