Binge eating was assessed through the BES and addictive eating behaviours were assessed through the YFAS (n = 1344). The prevalence and severity of both FA and binge eating increased across weight categories. The overall correlation between the total score from the BES and FA symptoms was r = 0.76, p < 0.001; for females it was r = 0.77, p < 0.001, and for males it was r = 0.65, p < 0.001. Total BES score and the BES emotion factor were most often associated with FA symptoms, as was demonstrated to produce stronger correlations with FA symptoms. In contrast, the BES behaviour factor was less strongly associated to FA with the majority of correlations <0.6. This study demonstrates the overlap between BED and FA, and highlights the possible unique differences between the forms of disordered eating.]]> Wed 15 Dec 2021 16:09:02 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32350 Wed 15 Dec 2021 16:07:57 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44378 n = 12) aged 18–35 years completed two fMRI scans (fasted and fed) while viewing high-calorie food images and low-calorie food images. Food addiction symptoms were assessed using the Yale Food Addiction Scale. Associations between FA symptoms and activation of the BLA and central amygdala were tested using bilateral masks and small-volume correction procedures in multiple regression models, controlling for BMI. Participants were 24.1 ± 2.6 years, with mean BMI of 27.4 ± 5.0 kg/m2 and FA symptom score of 4.1 ± 2.2. A significant positive association was identified between FA symptoms and higher activation of the left BLA to high-calorie versus low-calorie foods in the fasted session, but not the fed session. There were no significant associations with the central amygdala in either session. This exploratory study provides pilot data to inform future studies investigating the neural mechanisms underlying FA.]]> Wed 12 Oct 2022 11:14:14 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22990 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:38:48 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28370 Wed 06 Apr 2022 13:59:43 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48063 fed") change in resting-state functional connectivity of the ventral and dorsal striatum, and its association with FA scores (controlling for BMI). Results: Higher symptoms of FA correlated with greater changes in ventral caudate-hippocampus connectivity between fasted and fed conditions. FA symptoms did not correlate with connectivity in the dorsal caudate circuit. Post-hoc analyses revealed that participants with higher symptoms of FA had ventral caudate-hippocampus hyperconnectivity in the fasted scan only, as well as a significant reduction of this connectivity between the fasted and fed scans. Conclusions: Heightened connectivity in the ventral striatum during a fasted state, which has been linked to reward prediction signals, underpins symptoms of FA. In contrast, connectivity in the dorsal striatum or "habit" system is unrelated to homeostatic status and FA symptoms, and is thus less relevant for subclinical manifestations of FA.]]> Tue 21 Feb 2023 12:23:55 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54318 Tue 20 Feb 2024 15:51:10 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41951 Tue 16 Aug 2022 14:31:27 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42861 n = 309) were predominantly female (61%), from the obese BMI category (67%) and had accessed a range of services for weight loss (97%). Using multiple logistic regression, participants with higher mYFAS scores were more likely to engage in treatment (AOR 1.68; 95% CI 1.12–2.52), while participants with higher DASS total scores were less likely to engage in treatment (AOR 0.97; 95% CI 0.95–0.99). Conclusion: This study indicates considerable interest from consumers in seeking addictive eating treatment. Individuals who did not engage in treatment displayed higher mental health comorbidity, suggesting that higher mental health symptomatology may be a barrier to treatment. Future qualitative research is needed to provide an in-depth understanding of the reasons for seeking and engaging in addictive eating treatment, as well as to identify the optimal treatments and referral pathways.

Sessions were conducted by telehealth and facilitated by dietitians. Fifty-two individuals were randomised to either intervention or control (mean age 43.6 ± 12.2yrs, mean BMI 36.7 ± 6.8 kg/m², 96% female). At three month follow up, there were significant reductions from baseline (BL) for both groups in total YFAS 2.0 symptoms, however, these changes were not significantly different between groups (intervention BL 8.0 ± 2.7; 3-months 6.5 ± 3.8, control BL 8.1 ± 2.5; 3-months 6.9 ± 3.9, p > 0.05). At 3 months the intervention group significantly reduced their energy from non-core foods compared with control (intervention BL 48% energy/day; 3-months 38%, control BL 41% energy/day; 3-months 38%, p < 0.01).

There were no significant changes (p>0.05) in plasma oxytocin levels in response to either healthy or hyperpalatable food images. Given that endogenous oxytocin administration tends to suppress eating behaviour; these data indicate that oxytocin receptor desensitization or oxytocin resistance may be important factors in the pathogenesis of obesity and food addiction. However, further studies in larger samples are needed to determine if peripheral oxytocin is responsive to visual food cues.]]> Fri 23 Apr 2021 14:41:22 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40751 Fri 22 Jul 2022 14:30:34 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55167 Fri 19 Apr 2024 08:20:42 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39704 Fri 17 Jun 2022 16:56:05 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40052 n = 126, 72%) reported that they have been asked by individuals about addictive eating.
