This purpose of this study was to identify predictors and rate of food addiction among nursing students by using YFAS (Yale Food Addiction Scale) which is proven to be reliable and valid as an instrument for evaluating food addiction. In this study, data collection was from Nov. 19, 2015 to Nov. 25, 2015 in K and C university located in Changwon. We enrolled 145 nursing students. Our findings showed that the food addiction in nursing students is likely to occur when they are depressed 6.03 times more than when they are not depressed. Therefore, to maintain and enhance the physical and mental health of nursing students who are preliminary nurses, their awareness of food addiction should be promoted and it also seems to be necessary to develop food addiction prevention programs including depression, which turned out to be the predictor of food addiction as well as foods.

This study aimed to identify binge-eating behavior and food addiction in Korean population and to determine their associations with obesity, eating behaviors, mental health and cognitive characteristics. We collected clinical questionnaire scores related to eating problems (e.g. binge eating, food addiction, food cravings), mental health (e.g. depression), and cognitive functions (e.g. impulsivity, emotion regulation) in 257 Korean adults in the normal and the obese weight ranges. Binge-eating and food addiction were most frequent in obese women (binge-eating: 46.6%, food addiction: 29.3%) when we divided the participants into 4 groups depending on gender and obesity status. The independence test using the data with propensity score matching confirmed that binge-eating and food addiction were more prevalent in obese individuals. Finally, we constructed the logistic regression models using forward selection method to evaluate the influence of various clinical questionnaire scores on binge-eating and food addiction respectively. Binge-eating was significantly associated with the clinical scales of eating disorders, food craving, state anxiety, and emotion regulation (cognitive reappraisal) as well as food addiction. Food addiction demonstrated the significant effect of food craving, binge-eating, the interaction of obesity and age, and years of education. In conclusion, we found that binge-eating and food addiction are much more frequent in females and obese individuals. Both binge-eating and food addiction commonly involved eating problems (e.g. food craving), but there was difference in mental health and cognitive risk factors. Therefore, it is required to distinguish food addiction from binge-eating and investigate intrinsic and environmental risk factors for each pathology.

밀가루 음식을 유난히 좋아하는 사람들이 있다. 과연 이들이 밀가루 음식을 좋아하는 이유는 무엇일까? 만약 당신이 밀가룰 음식을 남들보다 유난히 좋아한다면 '밀가루 중독'을 한번 의심해 바야 한다. 밀가루는 무슨 마약도 아니고, 담배도 아닌데 무슨 중독이냐고 묻겠지만 밀가루는 분명 중독성이 강하면서 우리 몸에 유해하며 살을 찌우는 식품이기도 하다.

스트레스를 받으면 유독 단 음식을 찾는 사람이 있다. 단맛이 일종의 쾌감을 동반하기 때문. 그리고 단맛에 익숙해지면 더 강한 단맛을 찾아 섭취하게 된다. 이는 일종의 단순당 중독인데, 건강에 안 좋다는 것을 알고 있음에도 끊을 수 없다. 왜 그럴까?

식도락이라는 말처럼 먹는 것은 즐거움이다. 하지만 단 음식 중독은 즐거움이라 말하기에는 건강에 큰 악영향을 끼친다. 최근 단맛 중독에 걸린 이들을 쉽게 찾아볼 수 있는데, 이들은 성인병의 위험에도 노출되어 있다. 그런 만큼 단맛에서 벗어나 건강한 입맛을 회복하는 습관을 들이는 것이 중요하다.

복어는 tetrodotoxin이라는 맹독을 함유하고 있음에도 불구하고 매운탕등 여러 가지로 요리하여 많은 사람들이 즐겨 먹는 음식의 하나이다. 복어 요리시에는 독을 함유한 내장이나 간장을 제외하고 세척하여 독을 제거하지만 조리과정에서 독이 완전히 제거되지 않거나 독성이 강한 복어의 경우는 독소가 남아 있어 식중독의 원인이 된다. 최근 부산에서는 2건의 복어요리에 의한 중독으로 수명의 중독환자가 발생하는 사고가 발생하였는바 다행히 사망하지는 않았으나, 복어요리는 항상 식중독의 위험성이 있음을 보여주고 있다. (중략)

This study investigated the intellectual structure of the latest trends in Korean addiction research in the social sciences. A network analysis of keywords with co-word occurrence was performed on 172 papers from the KCI database based on the data from the year of 2019, and a total of 432 keywords were extracted. The network analysis was performed using several programs: Bibexcel, COOC, WNET, and NodeXL. As a result of the study, keywords related to addiction type, study subjects, research methods, and research variables were found, and a total of 20 clusters were identified. Furthermore, to identify and measure weighted networks, the relationships between each keyword were explored and discussed in detail through a network analysis of global centralities, local centralities, and betweenness centralities. The study indicated that the latest issues were focused on smartphone addiction and provided implications for the future research and practice that fields and topics of relationship addiction, food addiction, and work addiction should be more considered. Further, the study discussed the relationship between drug addiction-crime, alcohol addiction-family, and gambling addiction-motivation and the necessity of qualitative study.

This study looked at the relationship between lifestyle choices and various substance addictions in young adults by applying the Relapse Prevention model of addiction. The data was obtained from a cross-sectional questionnaire (Depression and Anxiety Assessment Test) of 926 young adults aged 18~24 from 24 countries. Of these, 17.6% reported that they had a serious substance addiction, with alcohol addiction being the highest (11.2%), followed by nicotine (10.3%) and illicit drug (8.7%) usage. Results of chi-square test and logistic regression analysis revealed a significant association between various lifestyle factors (exercise patterns, intake of dietary nutrients like tryptophan, folic acid, omega-3 fatty acids and micronutrients, spiritual habits such as Bible reading and prayer) and addiction to various substances (illicit drugs, alcohol and nicotine). Depression was also found to be a significant factor influencing substance addiction. Interestingly, the risk of alcohol abuse was the highest at 9.870 (95% CI: 4.525-21.525) times among those who didn't have the habit of daily Bible reading. The highest risk of nicotine and illicit drug addiction was among those who consumed 'less than 1 serving' of dietary micronutrients per day compared to those who consumed '5 or more servings', with odds ratios of 9.606(95% CI: 2.726-30.111) and 8.642(95% CI: 2.022-37.378), respectively. These findings suggest that holistic lifestyle interventions may help prevent and reduce substance addiction in young adults.

Purpose: This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Korean version of Yale Food Addiction Scale for Children (YFAS-C). Methods: Participants were 419 young adolescent students (11~15 years old). The content validity of the expert group was calculated as the content validity index (CVI) after the translation and reverse translation process of the 25 items of the YFAS-C. The multitrait-multimethod matrix (MTMM) method was used to verify the construct validity; the generalized linear model (GLM) was used to evaluate the concurrent and incremental validity. Reliability was calculated as Kuder-Richardson-20 (KR-20) and Spearman-Brown coefficients. Results: The CVI of the 25 items was greater than the item-level CVI .80 and the scale-level CVI .90. The Korean version of YFAS-C had verified convergent validity in emotional eating and external eating and discriminant validity in restrained eating. In addition, it had verified concurrent validity in emotional eating and external eating. Finally the incremental validity of the Korean version of YFAS-C was statistically significant on BMI. Reliability was KR-20 ${\alpha}=.69$ and the Spearman-Brown coefficient was .64. Conclusion: The Korean version of YFAS-C is a valid and reliable scale for measuring the severity of food addiction; it can be a useful scale for preventing obesity by predicting food addiction early.

This study tried to derive implications by analyzing the literature related to food psychology to understand the psychological and emotional influence of food. The results of an exploratory study on food psychology are as follows. First, it was found that the perception of taste is related to an individual's state of mind. Second, as the theories for understanding the psychological aspects of food intake, the eating inhibition theory, the emotion regulation theory, and the escape model for binge eating based on the narcissistic theory were confirmed. Third, it was found that tools that can measure symptoms related to binge eating occupy a large portion of food-related diagnostic tools. Fourth, research on food-related psychological disorders was conducted on food cravings, binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, eating inhibition, and healthy food obsession. Fifth, it was found that studies related to the treatment of food-related psychological disorders were focused on the cognitive behavioral therapy approach. This study will serve as a basis for understanding and intervening in the emotional impact of food and psychological problems related to food.
