“…In most of the studies identified in this review, clinical populations included individuals with obesity, and this population shows a reported prevalence of FA ranging between 20% and 40% (Meule & Gearhardt, 2019; Pérez et al, 2018), as identified in the present meta‐analysis (38%). Fuentes et al (2017) and Gabler et al (2015) point to a higher prevalence of FA in Chilean patients who are candidates for bariatric surgery (50% and 43%, respectively) compared with results reported for similar samples in Portugal (25.8%), Germany (39.2%), France (39%), Israel (40%), and Australia (12.7%) (Ben‐Porat et al, 2022; Dickhut et al, 2021; Som et al, 2022; Stanley et al, 2022; Torres et al, 2017). It should be noted that a positive diagnosis of FA in this population is associated with less weight loss after dietary intervention (Pérez et al, 2018).…”

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.

“…The reported prevalence of YFAS-assessed FA amongst cross-cultural bariatric surgery samples ranges from 13.7 to 57.8% across Caucasian, African-American, Canadian, French, German, Chilean, Hispanic, Italian, and Turkish samples (Ames et al, 2017; Bianciardi et al, 2019; Brunault et al, 2016; Clark & Saules, 2013; Eichen, Lent, Goldbacher, & Foster, 2013; Fuentes, Gabler, Silva, Olguin, & Rodriguez, 2017; Gabler, Fuentes, Rodríguez, Barbosa, & Zarazua, 2015; Koball et al, 2016; Lawson et al, 2019; Meule, Heckel, & Kübler, 2012; Miller-Matero et al, 2014; Ouellette et al, 2017; Pepino, Stein, Eagon, & Klein, 2014; Sevinçer, Konuk, Bozkurt, & Coşkun, 2016). After a review of the literature, the reason for the variability remains unclear.…”

The Assessment of Food Addiction and the Yale Food Addiction Scale in Bariatric Surgery Populations

Food addiction (FA) appears among bariatric weight loss surgery candidates who struggle to control the intake of hyperpalatable/refined foods have high rates of psychopathology and related health problems. Despite this, prevalence rates of FA in the bariatric sector are reported as low or variable. We investigated the prevalence of FA and the applicability of conventionally used metrics for 166 pre-surgery candidates from a weight management centre (USA) and a major metropolitan hospital (Australia). Self-report measures assessed FA (Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS)), body mass index (BMI), disordered eating, addictive personality, psychopathology, and diet. Consistent with prior research, standard YFAS scoring, requiring the endorsement of a distress/impairment (D/I) criterion (FA + D/I), yielded a FA prevalence rate of 12.7%, compared to 37.3% when D/I was omitted (FA − D/I). We compared profiles for those with FA using each scoring method against those ‘without’, who did not meet a minimum of three YFAS symptoms (non-FA ≤ 2). Both methods differentiated those with and without FA on addictive traits, disordered eating and hyperpalatable food consumption. Only FA + D/I differentiated markers of psychological distress or impairment, including depression, anxiety and quality of life. Results indicate a need for further FA research in bariatric settings.

Prevalence of food addiction among patients undergoing metabolic/bariatric surgery: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Summary Candidates for metabolic/bariatric surgery show a high prevalence of food addiction (FA). However, few studies have investigated FA prevalence after bariatric surgery, especially using longitudinal studies. This systematic review with a meta‐analysis aimed to determine pre‐ and postoperative prevalence of FA among patients undergoing metabolic/bariatric surgery. It included both cross‐sectional and longitudinal studies that used the Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS). The following databases were searched: MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, LILACS, PsycArticles, CENTRAL, http://greylit.org, and opengrey.eu. Studies that used the YFAS to evaluate FA in pre‐ or postoperative patients were included. A random‐effects meta‐analysis was performed with cross‐sectional studies to calculate the weighted prevalence of FA at the pre‐ and postoperative moments. For longitudinal studies, which measured FA at both time points for the same individuals, absolute prevalence reduction (APR) was calculated. Of the 6626 records, 40 studies were included in the meta‐analysis. The preoperative weighted prevalence of FA was 32% (95% CI: 27–37%; 33 groups), whereas the postoperative prevalence was 15% (95% CI: 12–18%; 14 groups). Seven longitudinal studies showed a weighted APR of 26 p.p. (95% CI: 10–41 p.p.). Observational data suggest a reduction in the prevalence of FA among patients that undergo bariatric surgery. Interventional studies are needed to confirm these findings.
