Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The goal of this study was to test a hypothesis associating impulsivity with an elevated body mass index (BMI). METHODS: To this end, we examined associations of BMI with putative genetic, neurophysiological, psychiatric, and psychological indicators of impulsivity in 78 women and 74 men formerly dependent on alcohol or drugs. A second analysis was designed to test the replicability of the genetic...
