Furthermore, a lower baseline forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity correlated with greater weight loss (rs = 0.398, P = 0.015). Male sex was associated with a 3.6 kg greater weight loss (P = 0.087). Reducing emotional eating during the programme was associated with greater weight loss in women (rs = 0.576, P = 0.010). Conclusions This study demonstrates that individuals with more severe asthma at baseline are more successful in achieving weight loss, which could be a consequence of greater motivation and could be used as a motivational tool within the clinical setting. Gender tailoring of weight loss programmes may be useful to enhance weight loss success. Future studies are urgently needed to establish predictors of long-term weight loss maintenance in those with asthma. See Editorial, page 179 This study is the first to demonstrate that more severe asthma at baseline, male sex, and improvements in eating behaviours during weight loss are associated with greater weight loss success in overweight and obese adults with asthma. Our findings may inform the development of asthma-specific weight management guidelines.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:17:48 AEST ]]> The neurobiology of eating behaviour: an investigation into the construct of food addiction in young Australian adults https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22990 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:38:48 AEST ]]> How perceptions of community environment influence health behaviours: using the Analysis Grid for Environments Linked to Obesity Framework as a mechanism for exploration https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25410 Tue 27 Sep 2022 13:53:05 AEST ]]> The stability of 'food addiction' as assessed by the Yale Food Addiction Scale in a non-clinical population over 18-months https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26150 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:35:26 AEDT ]]> Mixed messages: Assessing interactions between portion-size and energy-density perceptions in different weight and sex groups https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40772 Mon 18 Jul 2022 14:15:27 AEST ]]>
