Sex moderated very few of these associations. Obese women scored higher on Neuroticism (F(2,1957) = 3.74, p < .05) and two of its facets, N3: Depression (F(2,1957) = 3.45, p < .05) and N4: Self-Consciousness (F(2,1957) = 3.60, p < .05) than normal-weight participants; these differences did not emerge for men. Overweight men did, however, score higher on N2: Angry Hostility than normal-weight men, a difference that did not hold for women (F(2,1957) = 3.57, p < .05). Sex did not moderate any of the other personality-BMI associations. Age did not moderate the association between BMI and the five factors.
