Abstract

Background

The Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0 (YFAS 2.0) was recently updated to assess food addiction according to the DSM-5 criteria for substance-related and addictive disorders. This study aimed to validating the YFAS 2.0 on the Hungarian sample.

Method

A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with a sample of 605 participants. The instruments used for data collection included the YFAS 2.0, Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire Revised 21-Items (TFEQ-R21), The 21-item Barratt Impulsiveness Scale Revised (BIS-R-21), Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21). The factor structure, internal consistency and convergent validity of the Hungarian version of the YFAS 2.0 were evaluated.

Results

Proportion to the current sample Food Addiction was 18.5 %. Confirmatory factor analysis supported a good fit for the single-factor model. The YFAS 2.0 symptom count demonstrated a positive correlation with TFEQ-R-21 subscales, ranging from 0.12 to 0.54, with BIS-R-21 subscales ranging from 0.24 to 0.49, and with DASS-21 subscales ranging from 0.41 to 0.50. The H-YFAS 2.0 food addiction severity was significantly associated with TFEQ-R-21, BIS-R-21, and DASS-21 subscales of the scales. All of which were statistically significant (p < 0.001), indicating acceptable convergent validity.

Conclusion

The Hungarian version of the YFAS 2.0 has been validated in a nonclinical sample, demonstrating its utility as an effective tool for screening food addiction.

匈牙利版耶鲁食物成瘾量表2.0 （YFAS 2.0）的验证

耶鲁食物成瘾量表2.0 （YFAS 2.0）最近更新，根据DSM-5物质相关和成瘾性疾病的标准评估食物成瘾。本研究旨在验证YFAS 2.0在匈牙利样本上的有效性。方法采用横断面描述性研究，共605人。数据收集工具包括YFAS 2.0、三因素进食问卷修订21项（TFEQ-R21）、Barratt冲动量表修订21项（BIS-R-21）、抑郁、焦虑和压力量表（DASS-21）。对匈牙利版YFAS 2.0的因子结构、内部一致性和收敛效度进行了评价。结果食品成瘾占当前样本的18.5%。验证性因子分析支持单因素模型的良好拟合。YFAS 2.0症状数与TFEQ-R-21量表、BIS-R-21量表、DASS-21量表分别在0.12 ~ 0.54、0.24 ~ 0.49和0.41 ~ 0.50之间呈显著正相关。H-YFAS 2.0食物成瘾严重程度与量表的TFEQ-R-21、BIS-R-21和DASS-21亚量表显著相关。均有统计学意义(p <；0.001)，表明可接受的收敛效度。匈牙利版的YFAS 2.0已在非临床样本中得到验证，证明其作为筛查食物成瘾的有效工具。

期刊介绍： Addictive Behaviors Reports is an open-access and peer reviewed online-only journal offering an interdisciplinary forum for the publication of research in addictive behaviors. The journal accepts submissions that are scientifically sound on all forms of addictive behavior (alcohol, drugs, gambling, Internet, nicotine and technology) with a primary focus on behavioral and psychosocial research. The emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. We are particularly interested in ''non-traditional'', innovative and empirically oriented research such as negative/null data papers, replication studies, case reports on novel treatments, and cross-cultural research. Studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry as well as scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are also very much encouraged. We also welcome multimedia submissions that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings.
