Project Description

Individuals from low SES groups are more likely to be obese compared to individuals from higher SES groups. Recent research has shown that low SES groups are more responsive to dietary manipulations that promote increased food intake (e.g. portion size effect). This project will examine appetite responses to dietary and psychological manipulations in low and high SES groups and explore factors for possible differences in appetite control between these groups.
