A total of 1022 German-speaking endurance athletes (44% male, Ø 36 years, Ø BMI 23 kg/m2) replied to an online questionnaire consisting of demographics, related parameters, and the German versions of YFAS 2.0, EDDS, and FESA. Prevalence of FA, ED, and EXD was 6.2, 6.5, and 30.5%.

Public Health Nutrition, 1-8. https://doi.org/10.1017/S1368980019002684 From the research article’s abstract: “Objective: The development of a second version of the Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS) coincides with the latest updates in the diagnosis of addiction as documented in the 5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. The objective of the present study was to translate the YFAS 2.0 into the Malay language and test its psychometric properties in a primary-care population. Design: Patients were assessed for food addiction utilizing the Malay YFAS 2.0. The participants were also assessed for eating disorder using the validated Malay Binge Eating Scale. The psychometric properties of the YFAS 2.0 were determined by analysing factor structure, overall item statistics, internal consistency and construct validity. Setting: Between 2017 and 2018, participants were chosen from a regional primary-care clinic in the district of Seremban, Malaysia. Participants: Patients (n 382) from a regional primary-care clinic.

Effect of a Solution-Focused Approach on Self-Efficacy and Self-Esteem in Turkish Adolescents With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services, 57(11), 45–55. https://doi.org/10.3928/02793695-20190708-01 From the research article’s abstract: “The aim of the current research was to evaluate the effect of a solution-focused approach on levels of self-efficacy and self-esteem in adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A mixed design was used, where the quantitative aspect was a randomized controlled study and the qualitative aspect was a case study design. Adolescents with ADHD (N = 41) were randomized into intervention or control groups. Control groups received existing treatment in outpatient clinics, whereas interviews based on a solution-focused approach were conducted with the intervention groups. After the interventions, differences were noted between groups with time, self-efficacy, and self-esteem, with increases in self-efficacy and self-esteem. Significant differences were found between postintervention and follow-up scores. Six themes were determined in the qualitative findings. Nurses in the adolescent mental health field can use the principles and techniques of the solution-focused approach when providing care.

Nutrition & Dietetics, 77(3), 315-322. https://doi.org/10.1111/1747-0080.12550 From the research article’s abstract: “Aim: The aim of this study was to comprehensively assess dietary intake, nutrition knowledge and food addiction in young people with mental illness. Methods: This was a three-arm cross-sectional study of 16–25-year-olds attending community mental health services who met criteria for: (i) first-episode psychosis (FEP), (ii) ultra-high risk for psychosis (UHR) or (iii) depression/anxiety. Participants self-completed three validated questionnaires: (i) Australian Eating Survey, (ii) General Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire—Revised and (iii) Yale Food Addiction Score Questionnaire. Results: Thirty participants (mean age 19.7 ± 2.5 years) completed the study (10 per study arm); 43% of the energy intake was obtained from energy-dense, non-nutritious foods, higher than the recommended upper limit (<15%) and the levels reported in the general population (35%).
Food Addiction Symptoms and Amygdala Response in Fasted and Fed States
Pursey, K. M., Contreras-Rodriguez, O., Collins, C. E., Stanwell, P., & Burrows, T. L. (2019). Food Addiction Symptoms and Amygdala Response in Fasted and Fed States. Nutrients, 11(6), 1285. https://doi.org/10.3390/nu11061285 From the research article’s abstract: “Few studies have investigated the underlying neural substrates of food addiction (FA) in humans using a recognised assessment tool. In addition, no studies have investigated subregions of the amygdala (basolateral (BLA) and central amygdala), which have been linked to reward-seeking behaviours, susceptibility to weight gain, and promoting appetitive behaviours, in the context of FA. This pilot study aimed to explore the association between FA symptoms and activation in the BLA and central amygdala via functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), in response to visual food cues in fasted and fed states. Females (n = 12) aged 18–35 years completed two fMRI scans (fasted and fed) while viewing high-calorie food images and low-calorie food images. Food addiction symptoms were assessed using the Yale Food Addiction Scale.
A Longitudinal Preliminary Study of Addiction-Like Responses to Food and Alcohol Consumption Among Individuals Undergoing Weight Loss Surgery
Murray, S. M., Tweardy, S., Geliebter, A., & Avena, N. M. (2019). A Longitudinal Preliminary Study of Addiction-Like Responses to Food and Alcohol Consumption Among Individuals Undergoing Weight Loss Surgery. Obesity Surgery, 29(8), 2700–2703. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11695-019-03915-3 From the research article’s abstract: “Reductions in addiction-like food behaviors and increases in alcohol intake have been reported after weight loss surgery. However, no studies have tracked these measures in combination and prospectively. In this preliminary study, 27 participants underwent bariatric surgery (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) (n = 10) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) (n = 6)), dietary weight loss (n = 6), or no treatment (n = 5). Participants were weighed, completed the Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS), and reported alcohol intake frequency before intervention and at 4 and 24 months after baseline. At 24 months, only the surgery group showed significant reductions in BMI. Between baseline and 24 months, YFAS scores decreased (p = .006) and alcohol intake increased in the surgery group (p = .005). Significant changes were not observed in the diet or no treatment groups.”
