NCT ID NCT04041830
First seen Aug 07, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a French version of the Leeds Food Preference Questionnaire (LFPQ) accurately measures food reward—the psychological drive to eat certain foods. Researchers will ask lean and obese adults to complete the questionnaire before and after a meal, repeating the process to check consistency. The goal is to provide a validated French tool for future research on appetite and obesity.
