Visual analogue Scale ratings (0–100) in 7 PWS and 7 control subjects that completed all VAS ratings. Ratings of Hunger, Desire to eat, Fullness, Thirst and prospective food consumption (i.e. amount of food that subjects could envision to eat at time of rating). Values are expressed in Median (interquartile range). n.s. = non-significant (p < 0.05);

¥

= trend (p < 0.15);

*

= p < 0.05.
