DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is intended to prepare for the submission of an R01 focused on the growing evidence for an association between otitis media and obesity. A questionnaire given to academic attendees at lectures included demographic information (sex, age, height, weight) and a question about otitis media (Have you ever suffered from middle ear infections? 1) no, 2) yes, but not serious, 3) yes, required antibiotics more than once, or 4) yes, required tubes in ears). Attendees also rated their liking for 26 food/beverage items using a new scale developed to measure food liking in the context of all hedonic experience. This scale .r permits valid comparisons of liking across groups (e.g., groups that differ in history of otitis media). For adults (¿35 years), as otitis media increased in severity, body mass index (BMI) rose; for moderate to severe histories of otitis media, overweight or obesity increased by 35% for females and 27% for males. As otitis media increased in severity, preference for high-calorie foods rose as well. We hypothesize the following sequence of events. Since the chorda tympani taste nerve passes through the middle ear on its way to the brain, the chorda tympani is damaged in the middle ear by pathogens associated with otitis media. The damage to this nerve intensifies some other oral sensations through a release of inhibition mechanism. Because of central connections between oral sensations and retronasal olfaction, damage to this nerve also alters flavor. Alterations in the sensory properties of foods alter preferences for and intake of these foods. Specifically, support is requested to fill in the remaining gaps in this reasoning to prepare for the submission of an R01. First, the otitis media history association with obesity must be verified in properly constituted epidemiological databases. We propose partnerships with the Epidemiology of Hearing Loss and University of Minnesota Center for Otitis Media studies. Verification will support further efforts to determine the mechanism of the association. Second, criteria for otitis media history must be refined with input from otolaryngologists; we have recruited three leaders in this field to guide us. Finally, all of this must be done in the context of expertise in obesity; we have recruited two leaders in this field who also have expertise in potential translation of any results to the clinical problem of obesity.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请旨在准备提交R 01，重点关注中耳炎与肥胖之间相关性的日益增多的证据。在讲座中，给学术参与者的问卷包括人口统计信息（性别、年龄、身高、体重）和一个关于中耳炎的问题（你是否患有中耳炎？1)否，2）是，但不严重，3）是，需要抗生素不止一次，或4）是，需要耳内插管）。与会者还使用一种新的量表对他们对26种食品/饮料的喜好进行了评级，该量表是在所有享乐体验的背景下开发的，用于测量食物喜好。该量表.r允许跨组的喜欢的有效比较（例如，中耳炎病史不同的人群）。成人（35岁），随着中耳炎严重程度的增加，体重指数（BMI）上升;对于中度至重度中耳炎病史，女性超重或肥胖增加35%，男性增加27%。随着中耳炎严重程度的增加，对高热量食物的偏好也随之上升。我们假设以下事件的顺序。由于鼓索味觉神经在其通向大脑的途中穿过中耳，因此鼓索在中耳中被与中耳炎相关的病原体损伤。对这条神经的损伤通过抑制机制的释放而增强了其他一些口腔感觉。由于口腔感觉和鼻后嗅觉之间的中枢联系，对这条神经的损伤也会改变味道。食物感官特性的改变会改变对这些食物的偏好和摄入量。具体而言，要求提供支持，以填补这一推理中的剩余空白，为提交R 01做好准备。首先，中耳炎病史与肥胖的关系必须在适当建立的流行病学数据库中得到证实。我们建议与听力损失流行病学和明尼苏达大学中耳炎研究中心合作。核查将有助于进一步努力确定这种联系的机制。其次，中耳炎病史的标准必须在耳鼻喉科医生的投入下进行完善;我们招募了三位该领域的领导者来指导我们。最后，所有这些都必须在肥胖症专业知识的背景下完成;我们已经招募了两名该领域的领导者，他们也具有将任何结果转化为肥胖症临床问题的潜在专业知识。
