Food intake by brain-injured humans who are in the chronic phase of recovery
Abstract
This study examined whether survivors of traumatic brain injury differ from normal, non-injured controls in the regulation of food intake in their natural environment. Caregivers of 20 brain-injured subjects and 20 controls recorded in diaries: caloric intake, time of meals, subjective hunger ratings, and the number of persons present during meals for 7 consecutive days. Brain-injured subjects ate larger meals and more total (overall) calories per day compared with controls. In addition, the presence of other people during a meal, or social factor, was a significant predictor of meal size for the control subjects, but not for the brain-injured subjects. Brain-injured subjects also differed from control subjects in their response to pre-meal stomach content.

There are some reports that TBI can induce eating disruptions which can include both lack of interest in eating as well as hyperphagia.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
