Abstract

Aims: Overweight and obesity in adulthood relate to factors at younger ages in some individuals. This study investigated the relationship of food addiction (FA) with carbohydrate intake and stress in adolescents. Methods: A single-center cross-sectional study was performed using a questionnaire that included basic characteristics, anthropometric measurements (weight, height, body mass index), Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS), Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS 21), and the food frequency questionnaire for the consumption of high carbohydrates and sugar-containing foods. Results: The study included 192 adolescents (146 female and 46 male) aged between 12 and 19 years. FA was detected in 8.9% of the participants. Female adolescents had a higher prevalence of FA than male adolescents (female: 10.3%; male: 4.3%, p=0.217). FA was not observed in any underweight individuals, while its prevalence was 14.3% in obese individuals. The YFAS score was 2.7±1.8, and the presence of FA was significantly related to YFAS (p<0.001). Foods that individuals with FA had the most problems with were chocolate/wafer, chips (52.9%), white bread (41.2%), deep-fried dough desserts, hamburgers/pita/lahmacun/doner, and frizzy drinks/coke (35.3%) (p<0.05). Of the food-addicted participants, 88.2% had moderate, severe, or extremely severe levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. YFAS score correlated with stress (r=0.472, p<0.001), depression (r=0.458, p<0.001), and anxiety (r=0.528, p<0.001). Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that high sugar content related to carbohydrates in foods might have addictive effects on adolescents. ABSTRACT

青少年食物成瘾与碳水化合物摄入和压力的关系

目的：成年期超重和肥胖与一些人年轻时的因素有关。本研究调查了青少年食物成瘾（FA）与碳水化合物摄入和压力的关系。方法：采用单中心横断面调查问卷进行研究，该问卷包括基本特征、人体测量（体重、身高、体重指数）、耶鲁食物成瘾量表（YFAS）、抑郁、焦虑和压力量表（DASS 21），以及高碳水化合物和高糖食物消费的食物频率问卷。结果：该研究包括192名年龄在12至19岁之间的青少年（146名女性和46名男性）。在8.9%的参与者中检测到FA。女性青少年的FA患病率高于男性青少年（女性：10.3%；男性：4.3%，p=0.0217）。在任何体重不足的个体中都没有观察到FA，而在肥胖个体中其患病率为14.3%。YFAS评分为2.7±1.8，FA的存在与YFAS显著相关（p＜0.001）。FA患者问题最多的食物是巧克力/威化饼干、薯片（52.9%）、白面包（41.2%）、油炸面团甜点、汉堡/皮塔饼/拉马村/多纳饼和油炸饮料/可乐（35.3%）（p＜0.05），或极度严重的压力、焦虑和抑郁。YFAS评分与压力（r=0.472，p<0.001）、抑郁（r=0.458，p<0.001）和焦虑（r=0.528，p<0.001）相关。结论：本研究结果表明，与食物中碳水化合物相关的高糖含量可能对青少年产生成瘾影响。摘要
