Depression and obesity are two diseases that have a profound impact on global health. The relationship between obesity and depression is strongly comorbid, tending to exacerbate metabolic and depressive symptoms. Research also shows that there are complex interactions between obesity, depression symptoms, and food addiction (FA). The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI), self-rated depression, and FA. The study sample consisted of 735 subjects (90.2% female, = 27.58 kg/m, standard deviation (SD) = 6.58 kg/m) aged 18-70 years ( = 39.01, SD = 14.07). The prevalence of FA symptoms was measured using the Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0 and self-rated depression was assessed using the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale. The prevalence of FA in the group was 41% and self-rated depression was present in 34.1% of the participants. It was found that the higher the BMI of the subjects, the higher the severity of FA, but the BMI was not significantly correlated with the severity of depression. In addition, the greater the severity of self-rated depression, the greater the severity of FA. This correlation was stronger for men than for women in the 18-30 and 31-45 age groups. The severity of self-rated depression and FA was significantly higher in people with an eating disorders. This study adds to the growing body of evidence suggesting that the presence and severity of FA are associated with the severity of self-rated depression, particularly in younger adults. In addition, people with a high BMI, indicating obesity, are more likely to have FA, especially severe FA.
抑郁症和肥胖症是对全球健康有深远影响的两种疾病。肥胖症与抑郁症之间存在强烈的共病关系，往往会加剧代谢和抑郁症状。研究还表明，肥胖症、抑郁症状和食物成瘾（FA）之间存在复杂的相互作用。该研究的目的是调查体重指数（BMI）、自评抑郁与食物成瘾之间的关系。研究样本包括735名年龄在18至70岁之间的受试者（女性占90.2%，平均体重指数为27.58kg/m²，标准差（SD）为6.58kg/m²）（平均年龄为39.01岁，标准差为14.07）。使用耶鲁食物成瘾量表2.0测量食物成瘾症状的患病率，并使用zung自评抑郁量表评估自评抑郁情况。该组中食物成瘾的患病率为41%，34.1%的参与者存在自评抑郁情况。研究发现，受试者的体重指数越高，食物成瘾的严重程度越高，但体重指数与抑郁严重程度无显著相关性。此外，自评抑郁的严重程度越高，食物成瘾的严重程度越高。在18至30岁和31至45岁年龄组中，这种相关性在男性中比在女性中更强。饮食失调者的自评抑郁和食物成瘾严重程度明显更高。这项研究进一步证明，食物成瘾的存在和严重程度与自评抑郁的严重程度相关，尤其是在年轻人中。此外，体重指数高表明肥胖的人更有可能患有食物成瘾，尤其是严重的食物成瘾。
