“…The findings of Pivarunas and Conner (2015) also supported this research's' findings. It was found that impulsivity and emotion dysregulation are predictors of food addiction (Pivarunas & Conner, 2015). Wolz and collegues (2016) found that high negative urgency, high reward dependency and lack of premediation are also predictors of food addiction.…”

“…Firstly, both psychiatric conditions could be considered as forming part of the impulse control disorder spectrum, with the most evident shared attribute being the impulsive/compulsive nature of the addictive behavior (Leeman and Potenza, 2012; Grant and Chamberlain, 2014; Di Nicola et al, 2015; Konkolý Thege et al, 2015). Other shared characteristics are the early onset of these problematic/excessive behaviors (Balogh et al, 2013), high exposure to adverse life events (Lee et al, 2012), personality traits characterized by high scores in impulsivity, high levels of emotional-psychological distress (Karim and Chaudhri, 2012), and difficulties in emotion regulation (Williams et al, 2012; Pivarunas and Conner, 2015). …”

Food Addiction in Gambling Disorder: Frequency and Clinical Outcomes

Background: The food addiction (FA) model is receiving increasing interest from the scientific community. Available empirical evidence suggests that this condition may play an important role in the development and course of physical and mental health conditions such as obesity, eating disorders, and other addictive behaviors. However, no epidemiological data exist on the comorbidity of FA and gambling disorder (GD), or on the phenotype for the co-occurrence of GD+FA.Objectives: To determine the frequency of the comorbid condition GD+FA, to assess whether this comorbidity features a unique clinical profile compared to GD without FA, and to generate predictive models for the presence of FA in a GD sample.Method: Data correspond to N = 458 treatment-seeking patients who met criteria for GD in a hospital unit specialized in behavioral addictions.Results: Point prevalence for FA diagnosis was 9.2%. A higher ratio of FA was found in women (30.5%) compared to men (6.0%). Lower FA prevalence was associated with older age. Patients with high FA scores were characterized by worse psychological state, and the risk of a FA diagnosis was increased in patients with high scores in the personality traits harm avoidance and self-transcendence, and low scores in cooperativeness (R2 = 0.18).Conclusion: The co-occurrence of FA in treatment-seeking GD patients is related to poorer emotional and psychological states. GD treatment interventions and related behavioral addictions should consider potential associations with problematic eating behavior and aim to include techniques that aid patients in better managing this behavior.

“…Previous studies utilizing the YFAS have observed that in some individuals addictive-like processes may contribute to problematic eating behavior via key mechanisms underlying addictive disorders, e.g., greater impulsivity, emotion dysregulation, and elevated craving [30,31,32,33]. For example, individuals reporting behavioral indicators of YFAS ‘food addiction' exhibit similar patterns of reward-related neural responses when anticipating and receiving a highly processed food (e.g.…”

“…In summary, individuals who endorse indicators of ‘food addiction' on the YFAS may share biological and behavioral characteristics with persons with substance use disorders, and highly processed high-calorie foods appear to be particularly associated with addictive-like eating behavior. Elevated YFAS scores have also been associated with indicators of impulsivity (e.g., negative urgency) [35,36] and greater endorsement of emotion regulation difficulties on self-report measures [27,28,36]. …”

Background/Aims: To assess the prevalence and correlates of addictive-like eating behavior in Germany. Methods: The German version of the Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS) 2.0 was used to investigate, for the first time, the prevalence of ‘food addiction' in a representative sample aged 18-65 years (N = 1,034). Results: The prevalence of ‘food addiction' measured by the YFAS 2.0 was 7.9%. Individuals meeting criteria for ‘food addiction' had higher BMI and were younger than individuals not meeting the threshold. Underweight (15.0%) and obese (17.2%) individuals exhibited the highest prevalence rate of ‘food addiction'. Addictive-like eating was not associated with sex, education level, or place of residence. Conclusion: YFAS 2.0 ‘food addiction' was met by nearly 8% of the population. There is a non-linear relationship between addictive-like eating and BMI, with the highest prevalence among underweight and obese persons. These findings suggest that ‘food addiction' may be a contributor to overeating but may also reflect a distinct phenotype of problematic eating behavior not synonymous with obesity. Further, the elevated prevalence of YFAS 2.0 ‘food addiction' among underweight individuals may reflect an overlap with eating disorders and warrants attention in future research.
