墨西哥的肥胖症患病率是世界上最高的，近70%的成年人被归类为超重或肥胖。墨西哥和全球肥胖症患病率的增加可能与不断变化的食品环境有关，这使得人们越来越容易获得美味但易致肥胖的食品。这种联系的一个潜在机制是改变对食物的看法，这是转型国家研究得很少的一个领域。因此，我们进行了一项研究，以确定四种基本口味的感知阈值与人体测量变量，激素水平和能量摄入的相关程度。苦味和甜味的阈值分别最低和最高，女性对这些味道的敏感性高于男性。总的来说，每种口味的感知阈值与能量摄入或体重指数（BMI）无关，而甜菊糖的感知阈值与能量摄入呈负相关。根据我们的研究结果，在墨西哥成年人的样本中，对基本口味的感官味觉反应与能量摄入或BMI无关。(C)2015爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
The prevalence of obesity in Mexico is the highest in the world, with almost 70% of adults being classified as overweight or obese. The increased prevalence of obesity in Mexico, and globally, may be related to the changing food environment, providing increased access to highly palatable, but obesogenic, food products. One potential mechanism for this association is changing food perceptions, an area poorly studied in transitional countries. Thus, we conducted a study to determine the degree to which perception thresholds for four basic tastes are associated with anthropometric variables, hormone levels, and energy intake. Bitter and sweet taste had the lowest and highest thresholds, respectively, and women reported a greater sensitivity to these flavors compared to men. Overall, the perception thresholds to each flavor were not associated with energy intake or body mass index (BMI), while the perception threshold of aspartame was negatively associated with energy intake. Based on the results of our study, in a sample of Mexican adults, sensory taste response to basic flavors is not associated with energy intake or BMI. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
