This study examined the influences of age and chronic physical activity status on appetite and mood state. Groups of younger inactive (YI); younger active (YA); older inactive (OI); and older active (OA) men and women completed questionnaires each waking hour rating appetite and mood state for one day. Maximal oxygen consumption was 20% lower in O vs. Y (p<0.001) and 32% lower in I vs. A (p<0.001). Mean hunger (O 4±1, Y 5±1 arbitrary units (au), p<0.01) and desire to eat (O 3±1, Y 4±1 au, p<0.01) were lower in O vs. Y. Nadir arousal was higher for the active subjects (A 3±1, I 2±1 au, p<0.05). Nadir arousal, nadir pleasantness, and mean pleasantness were higher for the older subjects (p<0.05). Physical activity status does not influence appetite or the age-associated declines in hunger and desire to eat. The increased nadir arousal of the physically active and older groups of subjects is consistent with these subjects experiencing less extreme sleepiness.
