Nutrition and behavior: a multidisciplinary approach, 2015

Abstract

This book chapter explores how major biological variables such as sex, age, genetic background, and disease influence the nutrition-behaviour paradigm. A specific section of the chapter features hedonic reactions to foods; in addition, the chapter specifically discusses genetic taste predisposition; developmental factors and early taste experiences; neophobia and familial interactions; preference shifts in adults; genetic variation in taste and food selection; disease, aging and other physiological differences that can influence food and fluid appetite, such as pregnancy and ethnicity/culture; and, eating attitudes.
