Eating addiction is an important condition related to obesity. The Addiction-like Eating Behavior Scale (AEBS) was recently validated in English to evaluate addictive eating behaviors. To perform the translation, cultural adaptation, and validation of the AEBS scale to Portuguese to identify eating addictions in the Brazilian population. The AEBS translation, adaptation, and validation followed previously published criteria, including the steps of translation, back translation, evaluation by a committee of judges, and a pretest with 40 students. Subsequently, 150 students from the Medical School at the Recife Campus of the Federal University of Pernambuco were tested using the AEBS-Portuguese version (AEBS-p). Of these, 37 were evaluated a second time for a test-retest analysis. For data collection, 5 instruments were used: the AEBS-p, a modified version of the Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0 (mYFAS 2.0)-Portuguese version, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, the Binge Eating Scale (BES), and the Socio-demographic Questionnaire. The AEBS-p showed good reliability, based on a significant internal consistency value (Cronbach's alpha = 0.91), and good correlation in the test-retest evaluation. A committee of judges considered the content validity appropriate. Convergent validation was positive with the mYFAS 2.0 and BES ( < 0.001). The AEBS-p showed a significant correlation with body mass index (BMI) ( < 0.001) and significantly predicted variance in BMI that was accounted for by both the mYFAS 2.0 and BES ( = 0.022). The AEBS-p demonstrated good reliability and validity for evaluating addictive eating behaviors in the Brazilian population.
进食成瘾是与肥胖相关的重要病症。最近，一种名为“类似成瘾的进食行为量表”（AEBS）已被验证可用于评估进食成瘾行为，其英文版已被验证。本研究旨在将 AEBS 量表翻译、改编并验证为葡萄牙语版本，以用于识别巴西人群中的进食成瘾。AEBS 量表的翻译、改编和验证遵循了先前发表的标准，包括翻译、回译、由评判委员会评估以及在 40 名学生中进行预测试等步骤。随后，对来自伯南布哥联邦大学累西腓校区医学院的 150 名学生使用 AEBS-葡萄牙语版本（AEBS-p）进行了测试。其中，37 人接受了第二次测试，以进行重测分析。在数据收集过程中，使用了 5 种工具：AEBS-p、耶鲁食物成瘾量表 2.0 （mYFAS 2.0）-葡萄牙语版本的修改版、患者健康问卷-9、暴食症量表（BES）和社会人口学问卷。AEBS-p 显示出良好的信度，内部一致性值显著（Cronbach's alpha = 0.91），重测评估中相关性良好。评判委员会认为内容效度适宜。与 mYFAS 2.0 和 BES 的收敛效度呈阳性（ < 0.001）。AEBS-p 与体重指数（BMI）显著相关（ < 0.001），并显著预测了 mYFAS 2.0 和 BES 解释的 BMI 方差（ = 0.022）。AEBS-p 可用于评估巴西人群的进食成瘾行为，具有良好的信度和效度。
