Abstract: (822 Views)
Background: There is growing interest and debate about whether an addictive process contributes to problematic eating outcomes, such as obesity. Craving is a core component of addiction. Food craving is a state in which people consume foods that are craved. Food craving is a strong driving force for obesity and overweight. This study aimed to examine the relationship between food addiction and food craving with body mass index. Methods: This study was correlational. The community sample for this research was female students of Shiraz University. Data were obtained from 60 female students of Shiraz University and a sampling method was available. Instruments included the Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS), Food Cravings Questionnaire (FCQ), and Body Mass Index (BMI). Data were analyzed by SPSS version 22. Results: Regression analyses confirmed the hypothesis that food addiction (F=17, ρ <0.0001) and food craving (F=14, ρ <0.0001) predicted body mass index. 25 percent of body mass index changes are related to food addiction and 18 percent to food craving. Conclusion: The current results highlight the importance of further evaluating the role of an addictive process in problematic eating behaviors and obesity and also potentially targeting food cravings in intervention approaches.
