People's health is closely linked to their diet. Diet can be defined as the set of foods that are consumed in a day, and it is susceptible to being altered by various factors, such as physiological, environmental, psychological, and social. These, in turn, can be affected by an inadequate diet and/or a dysregulation of emotions. Emotions are an immediate response by the organism informing it of the degree of favorability of a certain stimulus or situation. Moods are similar to emotions but more intense and prolonged. Some studies indicate that the consumption of hyperpalatable energy-dense foods may be related to emotional eating. Emotional eating is characterized by the excessive consumption of hyperpalatable energy-dense foods, rich in sugars and fats, in response to negative emotions. But several reports also indicate that emotional eating may be associated with the presence of positive emotions, so further analysis of the available information is necessary. Consuming higher amounts of hyperpalatable energy-dense foods can lead to the accumulation of energy in the body that results in an increase in body weight, as well as other associated diseases. Obesity is the world's leading diet-related health problem. The objective of this work was to carry out a systematic review of the available literature using the Cochrane methodology, in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines, to evaluate the relationship between emotional eating, the consumption of hyperpalatable energy-dense foods, and indicators of nutritional status. An exhaustive search in different databases yielded 9431 scientific articles, 45 of which met the inclusion criteria. This review underscores the fact that knowing and understanding the reasons why people consume hyperpalatable energy-dense foods and the possible connection with their emotional eating can provide key data for improving and personalizing patients' nutritional treatment. This in turn can encourage compliance with treatment plans to improve people's health and quality of life using an interdisciplinary approach.
人们的健康与他们的饮食密切相关。饮食可以被定义为一天中所消耗的食物组合，它容易受到各种因素的影响，如生理、环境、心理和社会等因素。这些因素反过来又会受到饮食不足和/或情绪失调的影响。情绪是生物体对某种刺激或情况的有利程度的即时反应。情绪类似于情绪，但更强烈和持久。一些研究表明，食用高能量密度的美味食物可能与情绪性进食有关。情绪性进食的特点是过度食用高能量密度的美味食物，这些食物富含糖和脂肪，以应对负面情绪。但也有一些报道表明，情绪性进食可能与积极情绪有关，因此需要进一步分析现有信息。食用更多高能量密度的美味食物会导致体内能量堆积，从而导致体重增加，以及其他相关疾病。肥胖是世界上与饮食相关的主要健康问题。本工作的目的是按照 PRISMA 指南，使用 Cochrane 方法对现有文献进行系统评价，以评估情绪性进食、高能量密度美味食物的摄入与营养状况指标之间的关系。在不同的数据库中进行了详尽的搜索，共得到 9431 篇科学文章，其中 45 篇符合纳入标准。这项综述强调了这样一个事实，即了解和理解人们食用高能量密度美味食物的原因以及与他们情绪性进食的可能联系，可以为改善和个性化患者的营养治疗提供关键数据。这反过来又可以通过跨学科方法鼓励人们遵守治疗计划，以改善人们的健康和生活质量。
