Summary Food addiction (FA) has been as a construct that is associated with childhood obesity. However, relatively little is known regarding the prevalence of FA among children and adolescents. An instrument designed to assess FA among youth, the Yale Food Addiction Scale for Children and Adolescents (YFAS‐C), has been developed and used to estimate FA prevalence among pediatric populations. The present systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to synthesize the results of FA prevalence among youth. Using keywords related to FA and children to search PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science, we identified and analyzed 22 cross‐sectional studies. No longitudinal studies were identified in the search. Meta‐analysis with Freeman‐Tukey Double Arcsine transformation was conducted to estimate FA prevalence. Meta‐regression was applied to understand whether weight status (i.e., data from community samples vs. overweight/obese samples) is associated with FA. Eligible studies (N = 22) were analyzed using 6,996 participants. The estimated FA prevalence was 15% (95% CI 11–19%) for all samples, 12% (95% CI 8–17%) for community samples, and 19% (95% CI 14–26%) for overweight/obese samples. Meta‐regression indicated that weight status was associated with FA severity (p = 0.002) and marginally with FA prevalence (p = 0.056). Healthcare providers should consider and address the high FA prevalence among pediatric population.

“…The majority of studies were carried out in adults (>18 years, n = 47 studies), two studies were carried out in children/adolescents (57,76) , and two studies included both children and adults (42,66) . For the studies that were conducted in adults and reported a mean age, this was calculated to be 33.1 years, range (18.7-62.9 years).…”

“…Forty-four of the 51 studies utilised the standard version of the YFAS, of which six had been converted to and validated in the following non-English languages: Italian (n = 6) (20,40,(51)(52)(53)(54) , French (n = 3) (36)(37)(38) , German (n = 3) (15,64,67) , Spanish (n = 4) (17,49,50,73) , Arabic (n = 1) (76,82) , Chinese (n = 1) (42) and Turkish (n = 1) (71) . Three studies used the shorter version of the YFAS, referred to as the modified YFAS (mYFAS), which comprises nine questions rather than the standard 25 items (45,60,72) ; these studies were larger populationbased surveys.…”

“…Yet regional differences in the frequency of FA detection in children and adolescents have been observed. In Europe and the United States, the rate of FA diagnosis was found to be relatively low (3–9%; Gearhardt et al, ; Mies et al, ; Magyar et al, ), but it was found to be relatively high in Egypt (12–16%; Ahmed et al, ; Ahmed & Sayed, ). The prevalence of FA in adolescent females and in older age groups has also been reported (Mies et al, ).…”

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.
