Implicit cognitive processing of environmental food and eating cues in obese adults

在包括澳大利亚在内的西方国家，肥胖是一个主要的公共健康问题。在关注环境食物和饮食线索的内隐认知加工时，该项目解决了迄今为止肥胖研究中被忽视的一个因素。包含一个专门针对食物相关认知的成分有可能极大地提高减肥计划的成功率。因此，我们的研究对澳大利亚国民的健康和福祉有明显的潜在益处，这与研究重点2：促进和保持良好的健康是一致的。它还将为澳大利亚社会科学的国际形象做出贡献，并为学生提供宝贵的研究培训机会。

Obesity is a major public health concern in Western countries, including Australia. In focusing on implicit cognitive processing of environmental food and eating cues, this project addresses a factor that has hitherto been neglected in obesity research. The inclusion of a component that specifically addresses food-related cognitions has the potential to dramatically improve the success of weight-loss programs. Accordingly, our research has clear potential benefit for Australian national health and well-being, consistent with Research Priority 2: Promoting and maintaining good health. It will also contribute to the international profile of Australian social science and provide valuable research training opportunities for students.
