“…The total score is obtained by adding the scores obtained from the items in the scale (maximum score = 75). The maximum score that can be obtained from the Appetitive drive subscale (1-5, 7, 9, 14, 15) is 45, and the maximum score that can be obtained from the Low dietary control subscale (6,8,10,11,12,13) is 30. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.86 (18).…”

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between addictive-like eating behavior, mindful eating, and obesity and the factors affecting them. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted with 459 adults (47.7% male, 52.3% female, mean age 27.2±10.52 years). The study data were obtained with a web-based questionnaire. The questionnaire form includes the socio-demographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements, Addiction-Like Eating Behaviors Scale (ALEBS), and Mindful Eating Questionnaire (MEQ). Results: 36.6% of the participants were overweight or obese. The mean MEQ score was 3.3±0.47, and the ALEBS score was 39.9±11.69. Smokers had a significantly higher ALEBS score (p=0.027). While the MEQ score was significantly lower in obese individuals (p<0.05), the ALEBS score was significantly higher (p<0.05). A negative correlation was found between the total MEQ score and the total ALEBS score (r= -0.618; p<0.001). BMI was negatively correlated with the MEQ score (r= -0.149; p= 0.001); it was positively correlated with Appetitive derive and Low diet control subscales (r= 0.307; p<0.001; r= 0.380; p<0.001, respectively). Conclusion: This study supports that mindful eating and addiction-like eating behavior scores may related with body weight. Smoking may be a factor associated with food addiction. In preventing and treating obesity, early intervention studies are essential to increase the mindful eating in individuals and reduce food addiction.

Objective Food addiction (FA) has been extensively investigated worldwide; however, the prevalence of FA in the Latin American population has yet to be established and past work has largely neglected the specificities of this region, that includes the most significant economic disparities in the world. Thus, the objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of FA measured by the Yale Food Addiction Scale in Latin America. Method The search was performed on MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, LILACS, IBECS, SciELO, PsycArticles, CENTRAL, and the gray literature. FA prevalence data were collected, and random effects meta‐analyses were performed to calculate the overall weighted prevalence, the prevalence by country, and by clinical and non‐clinical samples. Results A total of 10,082 occurrences were identified through database searches, and 23 studies were included (Mexico = 9; Brazil = 7; Chile = 4; Argentina = 1; Peru = 1; Uruguay = 1). The prevalence of FA found in clinical samples was 38% (95% CI: 16%–63%; I2 = 98.67%; 8 studies), while in non‐clinical samples, it was 15% (95% CI: 10%–21%; I2 = 98.51%; 15 studies). Discussion The average prevalence of FA in the Latin American countries included here was in accordance with that reported in other regions worldwide. It is noteworthy that the studies were conducted only in six countries, which are among those with the highest income in the region and do not represent the situation in native populations or those with lower purchasing power. This gap in the data also reflects the effects of economic disparities on the availability of empirical data in the region. Public Significance The prevalence of food addiction in Latin America was similar to that reported in other regions. It was higher among individuals with overweight, whether or not undergoing bariatric surgery, than in non‐clinical samples. These findings contribute to aggregate information about this condition that has drawn the attention of clinicians and researchers.
