Appetitive traits from childhood to adolescence and cardiometabolic health
Adolescents exhibited differences in cardiometabolic parameters based on their appetitive trait profiles. A persistent avid appetite was linked to higher cardiometabolic risk, and adiposity had a significant mediating effect. Managing risky appetitive traits during youth may improve future cardiometabolic health.
