Food Inhibitory Control and Reward Responsiveness in Healthy Aging
Our findings suggest that healthy aging is characterized by a diminished response to food due to low reward responsiveness. This is noteworthy, as the hedonic properties of foods are commonly believed to guide dietary choices. Understanding the relationship between age and food-related behavior is crucial for developing targeted dietary interventions for older adults, which could enhance their overall health and quality of life.
