Gonzalez-Izundegui D, Campos A, Calderon G, et al. - Researchers conducted this cross-sectional study to assess the association between gastric emptying (GE) of solids measured simultaneously with visual analog scales (VAS) for appetite and satiety [defined as the duration of the sensation of fullness] sensations in participants with obesity. One hundred thirty-four candidates (mean [SEM] age = 39 [0.8] years, mean [SEM] BMI = 38 [0.5] kg/m ², 67% females) completed simultaneous measurements of GE and VAS appetite. GE is correlated with the sensations of appetite, and rapid GE is related to increased appetite, which may contribute to weight gain.
