“…Furthermore, using mYFAS 2.0 may lead to an underestimation of FA prevalence and, consequently, the association between FA and DM2. However, the mYFAS 2.0 has similar psychometric properties to the YFAS 2.0 and has a translated and validated version for Brazilian Portuguese (13,14,24) . Finally, the study's cross-sectional design allows new hypotheses to be generated but does not allow causality to be inferred.…”

“…Positive cases of FA were considered those who reached the threshold for two or more symptoms and also for at least one of the items that assess clinical distress. The severity of FA was also considered, classifying it as mild, moderate or severe (mild = 2–3 symptoms plus impairment or distress, moderate = 4–5 symptoms plus impairment or distress, and severe = 6 or more symptoms plus impairment or distress) (14) .…”

Food addiction (FA) has been widely investigated. For the first time, two studies reported its association with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) in the general population and populations with mental disorders and undergoing bariatric surgery. However, the relationship between FA and DM2 needs to be better explored in different social contexts and population groups. Given this, the present study aims to evaluate whether DM2 diagnosis is associated with FA diagnosis in women living in poverty. This is a cross-sectional, population-based study conducted in a Brazilian capital city. FA was assessed by the modified Yale Food Addiction Scale (mYFAS) 2.0, and DM2 diagnosis was assessed by self-reporting of previous medical diagnosis. The association was assessed by multivariable Poisson regression with robust variance estimation adjusted for age, poverty situation, race/skin color, physical activity, and BMI. A total of 1,878 women were included, of whom 15.1% had FA, and 3.2% had a medical diagnosis of DM2. In the multivariable analysis, medical diagnosis of DM2 was associated with FA (PR: 2.18; 95%CI: [1.26; 3.76]). The DM2 diagnosis was also identified to be associated with role interference (PR: 1.93; 95%CI: [1.01; 3.67]) symptom of FA. In conclusion, a positive association between FA and DM2 in women living in poverty was observed, information that adds to the current evidence already available in the literature, pointing to a new line of research and integrated care.
