1 study
  1. Vegetables are associated with delay discounting in humans (standardized beta = 0.24, p < 0.05).

    “Vegetable consumption was significantly associated with lower DD (standardized beta = 0.24; p < 0.05).”

BMI

1 study
  1. Delay discounting is associated with BMI in humans (standardized beta = −0.32, p < 0.01).

    “Greater willingness to wait for larger, delayed rewards (lower DD) was significantly associated with lower BMI (standardized beta = −0.32; p < 0.01)”
