Food addiction among university students: The effect of mindful eating
2022, AppetiteCitation Excerpt :Although the FA risk was slightly higher in women, in line with the literature (Giannopoulou et al., 2020; Yu et al., 2018), it has been determined that mindful eating status affects the food dependence behavior in both sexes. The prevalence of FA of overall students was 15.3% which falls within the range of 4.3%–24% observed in other studies conducted among undergraduate student populations in the literature (Borisenkov et al., 2021; Gearhardt et al., 2009; Grammatikopoulou et al., 2018; Manzoni et al., 2018; Meule, 2011; Murphy et al., 2014; Najem et al., 2020; Nolan, 2017; Obregón et al., 2015; Yu & Tan, 2016). Furthermore, it was found to be significantly higher (21.2%) among those overweight or obese (p < .01), who were found to have a 1.7 times higher risk of being food addicted (OR = 1.7, [95% CI: 1.32–2.26], p < .001) (Table 2).
Prevalence of food addiction and association with stress, sleep quality and chronotype: A cross-sectional survey among university students
2020, Clinical NutritionCitation Excerpt :FA is assessed using the same criteria found in the DSM-IV-TR criteria for substance dependence such as hazardous use, tolerance, use in larger amounts, much time spent using, as well as many other substance use disorder criteria [14]. Nolan proposed the adoption of “food use disorder” as a term for compulsive eating associated with subjective loss of control in an effort to foster continued research in this area without the connotations suggested by “food addiction” [12]. Nonetheless, a substantial body of research now supports the influence of natural rewards (such as sex, social interactions and food) in the development of “addictive” disorders [15,16].
Food addiction, in obese patients seeking bariatric surgery, is associated with higher prevalence of current mood and anxiety disorders and past mood disorders
2018, Psychiatry ResearchCitation Excerpt :Current psychiatric disorders are known risk factors for other addictions and some of these psychiatric disorders can defer the indication of a bariatric surgery and such information is essential to improve cares prior to surgery. It is also essential to improve our understanding of this phenotype and to bring arguments to further the debate about including food addiction in the category of “substance-related and addictive disorders” (Meule et al., 2017; Nolan, 2017). In addition, the YFAS 2.0 required validation in a sample of patients with obesity applying for bariatric surgery, given that bariatric surgery is not equally effective in all subjects and that the factors influencing postsurgical outcomes are still unclear even if FA as measured by the previous version of the YFAS has been shown to significantly decrease after bariatric surgery (e.g., 1 year post-surgery) (Sevinçer et al., 2016).
An addiction perspective on eating disorders and obesity

2017, AppetiteSelf-perceived food addiction: Prevalence, predictors, and prognosis
2017, AppetiteCitation Excerpt :Taken as a whole, the findings from the present studies are consistent with the concept of both YFAS-diagnosed and self-classified “food addiction” lying on a spectrum of “food misuse”, possibly characterized by loss-of-control eating. Additionally, we propose that the most extreme form of food misuse be classified as a “food use disorder” in preference to the term “food addiction” (Nolan, 2017), in line with the revised nomenclature utilized in the DSM-5. Strengths of the present studies include replication of findings in two diverse samples and follow-up data with no attrition.
