The Relationship of Food Addiction With Other Eating Pathologies and Impulsivity: A Case-Control Study

The concept of food addiction (FA) has become central in recent years in understanding the psychological etiology of obesity. In this matched case-control study from Turkey, it was aimed to examine the prevalence of FA and related risk factors in four consecutive body mass index (BMI) categories. Th...
