Relating Psychometric and Biological Indicators of Disinhibition and Hunger: The Three Factor Eating Questionnaire, Metabolic Syndrome Risk Factors, and Leptin

Investigating the interaction of cognitive and biological components in eating behavior, this study found that disinhibition and hunger ratings were positively related to leptin levels during hunger, and that the number of metabolic syndrome risk factors was only a significant predictor of disinhibition when controlling for leptin levels.
