“…The association of depression and anxiety with emotional eating has been reported in the literature (Dakanalis et al, 2023;Erden et al, 2023). Individuals with anxiety and depression may engage in emotional eating behavior as a way of coping with negative emotions.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship among sleep quality, impulsivity, anxiety, and depression in individuals with emotional eating behavior. The study was designed as a cross-sectional study. The study included 92 individuals (age 31.29 ± 9.17; female, 67.4% [n = 62]; male, 32.6% [n = 30]) with symptoms of emotional eating but no previous psychiatric diagnosis or treatment. Participants were administered a Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 Disorders interview form, a sociodemographic data form, the Emotional Eating Scale, the Beck Depression Scale, the Barratt Impulsivity Scale, the Beck Anxiety Scale, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale. Emotional eating is positively correlated with anxiety (r = 0.377, p = 0.001), depression (r = 0.375, p = 0.001), impulsivity (r = 0.250, p = 0.016), and poor sleep quality (r = 0.478, p = 0.001). Obese individuals (defined as having a body mass index of 30 or higher) showed higher emotional eating (z = −2.552, p = 0.016) and poorer sleep quality (z = −2.089, p = 0.044) than nonobese individuals, and women showed higher emotional eating (t = 2116, p = 0.037) and poorer sleep quality (z = −2537, p = 0.010) than men. Poor sleep quality was associated with emotional eating. In this relationship, poor sleep quality influenced emotional eating through all mediators, including anxiety and depression (B = 3.491; standardized effect, 0.485; p = 0.001). Poor sleep quality directly influenced emotional eating (B = 2.806; standardized effect, 0.390; p = 0.001). The findings of the study suggest that emotional eating is associated with higher levels of anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and sleep problems, especially in women. It suggests that the interrelationships of psychological factors associated with emotional eating should be investigated.

“…Також був встановлений кореляційний зв'язок між ІМТ та показником обмежувальної харчової поведінки. Ці данні збігаються із дослідженням взаємозв'язку між депресією, тривогою, рівнем стресу та харчовою поведінкою у робітників служб екстреної допомоги в Туреччині[11].В нашому дослідженні був встановлений більш виражений вплив тривоги на харчову поведінку порівняно з депресією, що також спостерігалося в дослідженні з учасниками з різних країн світу, з переважанням США (64,3%)[12].Висновки 1. За отриманими результатами можна констатувати суттєву перевагу комплексного підходу до корекції порушень харчової поведінки при тривожно-депресивних розладах.…”

In most economically developed countries of the world, there is a clear tendency to increase the number of patients with anxiety-depressive disorders comorbid with eating disorders (ED), which lead to psychosocial maladjustment and a decrease in the quality of life. Depression is found in almost everyone and anxiety symptoms in every second patient among ED patients. Two-thirds of people suffering from anorexia had symptoms of anxiety-depressive disorders several years before the onset of ED. The purpose of the study was a comparative assessment of the effectiveness of treatment of eating disorders in patients with anxiety-depressive disorders, depending on the therapeutic and corrective measures. As a result of the study, it was established that there was no statistically significant difference between the main and the comparison group according to age and BMI. Statistically significant differences between the two groups were found for all other indicators. According to the results of the examination of the patients of the main group, a statistically significant difference was established between all indicators after 6 months. Among the patients of the comparison group, statistically significant positive dynamics were observed only in the indicators of the level of depression, personal and situational anxiety, and quality of life. According to the results of the correlation analysis of the main group, the indicator of the body image questionnaire had the largest number of direct correlations. After the intervention, some of the connections were lost and their strength generally decreased. Indicators of situational and personal anxiety, PHQ-9, indicators of restrained and emotional eating behavior had the largest number of direct connections. According to the obtained results, it is possible to ascertain the significant impact of the combined approach in the correction of ED in anxiety-depressive disorders. The obtained data indicate the effectiveness of the combined approach in view of the better results of therapy in all indicators in the main group. Correlation analysis showed a decrease in the strength of ties in the main group and their number after the intervention. In the treatment of anxiety-depressive disorders, the expediency of using a complex approach and the importance of paying special attention to the correction of symptoms of eating disorders have been proven.

BackgroundA frequent consumption of high sugar/fat foods can affect dopamine signaling in the brain and cause sustained stimulation of the reward system. It has been hypothesized that a hypodopaminergic trait results in an individual overeating in order to increase brain DA. Genetic variants in this route have been connected with addiction and eating behaviors. Most studies focus on a specific SNP, and few studies have used multilocus genetic scores, which quantify genetic risk on a continuum.AimTo assess the relationship between multilocus genetic scores based on multiple gene variants in the dopaminergic pathway and measurements of anthropometry, eating behavior, food reinforcement, and food addiction (FA) in Chilean adults.MethodsWe recruited 221 Chilean adults for a cross-sectional study. A standard anthropometric measurement procedure was followed and eating behavior was examined using the Three Factor Eating questionnaire (TFEQ), Food Reinforcement Value Questionnaire (FRVQ), Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS) and 24-h diet recall. Multilocus genetic scores were calculated using TaqMan assays (rs1800497-rs1799732-rs6277-rs4680).ResultsNo differences were found in the entire sample for anthropometric measurements, by MLGS. We found that participants with a score ≥ 2.0 in the MLGS showed higher food choices on the RVFQ and lower energy intake in protein, lipids, SAFA, MUFA, PUFA, dietary cholesterol, omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids in the 24-h recall (p < 0.05). Stratified by nutritional condition, the group with obesity had inferior scores on cognitive restriction, greater scores on uncontrolled eating, emotional eating, and responding to palatable food in the RVFQ. Also, in subjects with obesity, there was more food addiction in the group scoring “MLGS ≥2.0 or low dopamine signaling” (53%), compared to the group scored “MLGS <2.0 or high dopamine signaling” (23%) (p-value; 0.05). Emotional Eating scores correlated positively with MLGS in subjects with obesity.ConclusionIn adults with obesity, the MLGS of the dopamine pathway, reflecting hypodopaminergic signaling, was associated with greater scores on food addiction and altered eating behavior traits.
