Why Personality Traits May Have A Lot To Do With Weight...
Dear Reader,
Here's a first of its kind look at personality and weight during adulthood. A team out of the U.S. National Institute on Aging has discovered that those who have certain identifiable personality traits are more likely to carry too much weight, or watch the scale go up and down in the unhealthy "yo-yo" pattern.
The researchers looked at data that had been compiled from a longitudinal study conducted over 50 years on just under 2,000 mostly healthy, highly educated subjects to see if there was an association with personality and weight.
Beyond being regularly weighed and measured during the study, participants were assessed on what are known as "big 5" personality traits.
These five are broad categories of traits including:
1) agreeableness,
2) conscientiousness,
3) extraversion,
4) openness and
5) neuroticism.
The categories are meant to cover a wide range between two extremes - in the real world most of us fall somewhere in the middle on all of these.
And while we all know it's natural to put on a bit of weight as we age, the study, led by Angelina R. Sutin, PhD, found impulsive subjects were the most likely to be overweight. Those who ranked in the highest 10% on impulsivity were 22 pounds (on average) heavier than those in the lowest 10%.
Earlier work has shown that impulsive people are more likely to indulge in binge eating and overconsumption of alcohol, and it may be that these behaviors, over a lifetime, contribute to weight gain.
Imagine the challenge that adds to making the hard life choices that lead to weight loss.
The thinking goes that people with this particular group of traits are more likely than others to give in to temptation. It's harder for them to summon the discipline to stick to a healthy diet and exercise plan in the face of all of life's challenges and frustrations. For these personalities, weight management appears to be a most difficult challenge.
But impulsiveness isn't the only personality factor that might put you at risk for weight gain.

Why Personality Traits May Have A Lot To Do With Weight... Continued...
Those who are risk takers, antagonistic, competitive, cynical and aggressive
also gained more weight according to the study findings. On the opposite end,
conscientious people were found to be thinner, and their weight didn't set off
personality changes in adulthood.
The authors of the study are hoping the work helps to develop more tailored approaches
to weight loss, that take personality factors into account. Perhaps group weight
loss and support programs for extroverts, private sessions or other interventions
tailored just to introverts are practical applications of the research. Anything
that might help people manage their weight is a welcome addition to the approaches
in use today.
Experts know that the path from personality traits to weight gain is most certainly
a complex one. There are likely both physiological and behavioral factors involved
in weight gain over our lifetime, still the work gives an intriguing and first
ever look at the affect personality might have on weight. The study appears online
in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, a journal published by the
American Psychological Association.
To your good health,
