The Relationship between Alexithymia and Obesity among Females in Jordan
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The aim of the current study was to identify the relation between Alexithymia and obesity in Jordanian woman between the ages of 18 to 44. The study utilized the descriptive methodology to process the collected data because of its convenience and usefulness to the study design, (326) women with alexithymia Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) were included in this study, and they were divided into three different age groups (18-24), (25-34) and (35-44) years. Their body weight and height were measured to calculate their body mass index (BMI) to measure the extent of obesity in different groups. The study found that the incidence of obesity was around (78.5%) among them, with (17.8%) was overweight. The study also shown that there were no significant assassination between the incidence of Alexithymia and BMI. We recommend that further studies need to be done to address the problem of Alexithymia and the its causative factors and to consider it as a leading factor to obesity. We also recommend identity that medical programs to treat patients with Alexithymia need to be developed and to focus on psychological, nutritional and physical rehabilitation of those patients , and to look beyond the traditional ways of losing weights that relay mostly physical exercise and diet control. هدفت الدّراسة إلى التّعرف على العلاقة بين الالكسيثيميا والسمنة لدى الاناث في الأردن، واستخدم الباحثان المنهج الوصفي لملائمته وطبيعة الدراسة، اشتملت عيّنة الدّراسة على (326) انثى مصابة بالالكسيثميا حسب مقياس The Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20)، موزعين على ثلاث فئات عمرية من (18-24) و(25-34) و(35-44) عام، وتم قياس كل من الطول والوزن للعينة لحساب مؤشر كتلة الجسم للعينة لقياس انتشار السمنة، واظهرت النتائج الى نسبة انتشار السمنة (78.5%) من العينة والوزن الزائد (17.8%)، كما تبين عدم وجود فروق في انتشار الالكسيثيميا تبعا لمتغير السمنة (مؤشر كتلة الجسم) على مقياس الالكسيثميا ككل ، اما فيما يخص مجال صعوبة وصف المشاعر ومجال التفكير الموجه للخارج اظهرت النتائج فروق في انتشار الالكسيثميا وذلك لصالح مؤشر كتلة الجسم الاعلى، ويوصي الباحثان بضرورة اجراء المزيد من الدراسات والابحاث للوقوف على الاسباب المؤدية للإصابة بالالكسيثميا واعتبارها من العوامل المهمة للإصابة بالسمنة ومحاولة تطوير برامج علاجية شاملة للأشخاص المصابين بالسمنة تشمل على الجوانب الانفعالية والنفسية والتغذوية والبدنية بعيدا عن الطرق الروتينية في انقاص الوزن التي تعتمد على جانب بدني او تغذوي سلوكي.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
