“…Statistically significant sex differences in FA detection have also been reported in previous studies (Mies et al, ; Magyar et al, ). The statistically significant increase in FA in overweight and obese individuals that we observed is also consistent with results reported by other authors (Burrows et al, ; Gearhardt et al, ; Mies et al, ).…”

“…This result agrees with previously obtained data on the detection of FA in children and adolescents (3% to 9%) in nonobese populations of Europe and the United States (Gearhardt et al, ; Magyar et al, ; Mies et al, ). The data obtained on the increase in the percentage of people with FA in the 17‐ to 18‐year‐old age group are consistent with previously published data on age‐related dynamics of the indicator in adolescents (Mies et al, ) as well as the results of a meta‐analysis (Burrows et al, ), which revealed a higher incidence of FA in adults after 35 years of age. In the surveyed group of adolescents, we observed a significant prevalence of FA diagnoses in girls.…”

Objective Eating disorders are a cause of the recent obesity epidemic. Food addiction (FA) and factors associated with eating disorders have not been adequately studied in adolescents. Method The final study sample included 1,144 students. Study participants were asked to indicate their age, sex, and month of birth and fill out the Yale Food Addiction Scale for Children and Zung Self‐Rating Depression Scale. Results Of the total number of adolescents studied, 4.5% had FA. It was found that an increased rate of FA diagnosis existed in adolescents with moderate‐to‐severe depression (P < 0.000), overweight and obese individuals (P < 0.002), girls (P < 0.038), and the 17‐ to 18‐year‐old age group (P < 0.007). Conclusion The data indicate that FA is positively associated with depression, obesity, age, and sex.

“…Questionnaires are susceptible to inattention; however, the online platform used for recruitment in the current study, Mechanical Turk, provides high-quality data and allows for the inclusion of items designed to evaluate participants' attention (Buhrmester et al, 2018). Indeed, this platform has growing popularity and acceptance and has been used in psychiatric research (Mathes et al, 2018;McCredie & Morey, 2018), including eating research (Burrows et al, 2017;Gearhardt, Corbin, & Brownell, 2016;Powell et al, 2017). Moreover, the study design allowed us to examine FA among adults residing in India, addressing a significant gap in the literature.…”

“…Comparisons of the psychometric properties of measures completed by Mechanical Turk participants have similar reliability and validity as those completed by participants recruited using traditional sources (Hauser & Schwarz, ; Shapiro, Chandler, & Mueller, ). Mechanical Turk has increasing popularity in the social sciences (Buhrmester et al, ) and has been used in psychological and psychiatric research (Mathes, Norr, Allan, Albanese, & Schmidt, ; McCredie & Morey, ), including eating research (Burrows et al, ; Powell, Frankel, Umemura, & Hazen, ). For the present investigation, participants were paid 50 cents, consistent with most Mechanical Turk research (Buhrmester et al, ).…”

Obesity is one of the biggest challenges in the modern world. It is an established risk factor in the development of a variety of metabolic conditions such as metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases and others. By its nature obesity is heterogeneous condition and a wide range of factors are included in its etiology. It has specific neurobiological base in which the system of rewards has an important biological role. In recent years growing body of literature demonstrated neurobiological and behavioral relationships between food intake, drug addiction and withdrawal syndrome [1][2][3].Directly involved in the sense of pleasure, оpioid receptors and endogenous opioid peptides are main "players" in functioning of reward and pleasure system. The results of numerous studies provided evidence of interaction between different subtypes of opioid receptors and systems that regulate energy balance. According to the results of recent studies, obesity is closely related to aberrations in opioidergic neurotransmission, thus, correlating with the changes in the number of opioid receptors in the brain. Recent data provided convincing evidence on participation of opioidergic neurotransmission in feeding behavior. In this regard, it is necessary to note that the number of opioid receptors in corpus striatum and thalamus and body mass index (BMI) are inversely related. In patients suffering from obesity elevated plasma concentrations of β-endorphin have been demonstrated. Moreover, opiate receptor antagonists prevented development of obesity in genetically obese experimental animals [4,5].Presumably, the failure of opioid receptors is the main reason of overeating as an attempt to compensate the lack of positive emotions. In this regard there is enough evidence, indicating the involvement of opioidergic neurotransmission in the regulation of nutritional practices and obesity. Whether abnormalities in the endogenous opioid system play a primary role in overfeeding and weight gain or represent one of the numerous biochemical consequences of this metabolic state is still unclear. Understanding the role of opioids mediating food reward and promoting the overconsumption of appetising food may provide insights into new approaches to prevent obesity. Dopaminergic receptor system has been given a leading role in regulation of reward and motivation system associated processes. Moreover, its functioning is closely interrelated with cognitive functions. Substantial data obtained recently argue in favor of participation of dopaminergic neurotransmission in nutritional practices [6]. Interestingly, it has been demonstrated, that the main regulators of hunger and satiety, such as ghrelin, leptin and insulin, which participate in development of feeding behavior development, affected the dopaminergic system [7]. Moreover, it is quite remarkable that proopiomelanocortin (POMC), the anorexigenic hypothalamic regulator of food uptake, simultaneously is the precursor of some endogenous opioid peptides. Substance P (SP), a memb...
