Training LMS descriptors with definitions.

GIH = Greatest Imaginable Hunger; MH = Moderately Hungry; SH = Slightly Hungry; NHNF = Neither Hungry Nor Full; SL = Slightly Full; MF = Moderately Full; VF = Very Full; EF = Extremely Full; GIF = Greatest Imaginable Fullness.The scale was anchored with words to describe the feeling of hunger from “Greatest Imaginable Hunger” to “Greatest Imaginable Fullness”. The left 95mm (9.5cm) of the LMS had descriptors relating to hunger and right 95mm (9.5cm) of the LMS related to fullness (Fig 2). The line scale marks were enumerated by measuring their distance (mm) from the centre point; therefore a maximum score of 95mm (9.5cm) equated to “Greatest Imaginable Fullness” and minus 95mm (-9.5cm) to “Greatest Imaginable Hunger”.Training LMS descriptors with definitions.
