Resumo
Frontal lobe functions (FLFs) play an important role in human behavioral regulation and
can be a determinant of eating behavior. The aim of this study was to analyse FLFs in individuals with
obesity, with and without binge eating disorder (BED), compared to individuals with normal weight
(NW), and to analyse the effect of sex and binge disorder on quality of life, with age and BMI as
covariates. A total of 114 participants, comprising three different groups (NW individuals, individuals
with obesity but without BED, and individuals with obesity and BED), completed the Frontal
Assessment Battery (FAB) and Impact of Weight on Quality of Life (IWQOL-lite) questionnaires.
The results showed that individuals with obesity, with and without BED, have poorer frontal lobe
functioning than the NW group. Individuals with obesity and BED have lower performance in terms
of FLFs than individuals with obesity but without BED. Male participants have a higher perception
of quality of life in all dimensions, with women showing lower values in self-esteem and sex life.
Individuals with obesity and BED show greater weaknesses in physical function. These results
suggest that low FLFs and worse quality of life characterize individuals with obesity, and this is more
evident in these individuals with BED.
