Climate change is therefore seen as a significant "hunger-risk multiplier".
Cutting benefits so sharply would lead to a significant increase in hunger, particularly among children, which would quickly create dangerous ripples through the health and education systems.
There were no significant differences in hunger and fullness ratings.
Restrained eaters' intake of dried fruit was suppressed by 33.2% after ego-threat relative to the neutral task, despite a significant increase in hunger for this group following ego-threat.
"Nearly 60% of the island's more than 22m people could be threatened by a significant worsening of hunger in a country that already had extremely high rates of food insecurity and malnutrition," it added.
Overall, subjects reported significant differences in hunger and fullness as a function of volume manipulations but the satiety quotient (SQ: change in ratings divided by weight of soup) calculated just before lunch indicated a smaller SQ for high than for the low volume soup.
However, consistent with Hypothesis 1, there was a significant interaction between hunger and prime on the number of fruits chosen in the food preference task.
In the 11 nonresponders, energy intake decreased <10% or increased after exenatide, and no significant effect on hunger ratings was observed.
In phase II studies of up to 16 weeks' duration, rimonabant showed a dose-dependent effect on weight reduction and, compared with placebo, was associated with significant reductions in hunger and weekly carbohydrate consumption (Fernandez & Allison 2004).
We therefore controlled for order of task completion in testing Hypothesis 1. Hypothesis 1 was not supported: there was no significant interaction between hunger and prime on the number of fruits chosen in the food preference task (Table 2).
There were no significant differences in baseline hunger, fullness nor thirst within subjects across the three test days, [ F 2,60) = 0.410 for overall effect of hunger; F 2,60) = 0.256 for fullness; F(1.6,48.4) = 0.035 for thirst; all p > 0.05], or between males and females (p > 0.05).
