Abstract

Obesity/high BMI is a serious condition, and the global prevalence is increasing. BMI is related to attentional bias, but higher BMI was associated with faster responses to unattended stimuli that have general reward. Higher mindfulness increased the aforementioned effect, but perceived stress did not have a moderating role.
