1. The associations between psychopathology and being overweight: a 20-year prospective study
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15554575/
The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that being overweight is associated with a range of psychiatric conditions including minor and atypical depressive disorders, binge eating, and aggression.
This study shows relatively strong associations between eating-related and aggressive psychopathology and being overweight. Given the high prevalence rates of these conditions, this study encourages further research on the causality of psychopathology-overweight associations that might provide insight on novel preventive approaches for major health problems.
2. Antisocial Behavioral Syndromes and Body Mass Index Among Adults in the United States: Results from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2730646/
Among women, ASPD was significantly associated with overweight and extreme obesity; AABS was associated with obesity and extreme obesity; and "CD only" was significantly associated with overweight, obesity, and extreme obesity.
significant associations of ASPD with overweight and extreme obesity, AABS with obesity and extreme obesity, and "CD only" with overweight, obesity, and extreme obesity, were observed.
in both unadjusted and adjusted analyses, the strongest relationships were observed between ASPD and extreme obesity
Thoughts
As if we needed another reason to hate fat people. Not only are they a drain on national health resources, they're also proven antisocial buttholes. Fat people are manipulative bullies that do whatever it takes to get what they want in the short term, and they are hedonistically driven. We should not tolerate fat people. They are ugly on the outside and the inside. Interestingly, the studies show NO correlation between ASPD and being underweight
Among women, antisocial syndrome was not associated with underweight.
So skinny people literally have better souls than fat people.

I've wondered about this before and it's nice to have a clear answer. Would the low impulse control and general pursuit of short term fulfilment give psychopaths a tendency towards obesity?
The question has been posted in 'psychopath' subs a couple of times, and they always say "Nooooo we're fit and attractive. We're hotter than the normies"
but that means nothing really.
