Abstract Purpose: This study tested two hypotheses: a) that during COVID-19 isolation the incidence rate of food addiction is increased, and b) people with present time perspective (TP) are more likely exhibited signs of food addiction (FA).Methods: The final study sample included 949 people, mean age 21.8 ± 7.8 years (range: 17-71 years, women: 78.3%). Each participant indicated their personal data and completed Yale Food Addiction Scale and the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory.Results: There was an increased incidence rate of FA (OR = 1.678, 95% CI = 1.324, 2.148, p = .000) during COVID-19 isolation. Individuals with balanced, future, and past positive TP were less likely to exhibit symptoms of FA. Persons with past negative, and present hedonistic TP were more likely to exhibit signs of FA.Conclusion: There was an increased incidence rate of FA during COVID-19 isolation. Persons with shortened time horizon are more likely to exhibit symptoms of FA.Level of Evidence: Level V, cross-sectional descriptive study.

Abstract Purpose Examine the prevalence and potential relationships among food addiction (FA)—as measured by Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0 (YFAS 2.0), eating disorders (ED)—as measured by Eating Disorder Diagnostic Scale (EDDS)—and exercise dependence (EXD)—as measured by Questionnaire to Diagnose Exercise Dependence in Endurance Sports (FESA), for the first time worldwide, in amateur endurance athletes. Methods A total of 1022 German-speaking endurance athletes (44% male, Ø 36 years, Ø BMI 23 kg/m2) replied to an online questionnaire consisting of demographics, related parameters, and the German versions of YFAS 2.0, EDDS, and FESA. Results Prevalence of FA, ED, and EXD was 6.2, 6.5, and 30.5%. The probability for FA increases with BMI, thoughts about food and EXD score, and decreases with age and when an ED is present. People with FA and people with ED vs. people with both, FA&ED, differed significantly in this cohort. Strong significant relationships were found between FA and EXD (X2 (1) = 15.117, p < 0.001, n = 1022). Conclusions A considerable number of amateur endurance athletes may suffer from FA. The association between FA and EXD is stronger than between ED and EXD, indicating FA as a potentially more relevant subject—than ED—for prevention or therapy in people with EXD. Further studies are needed to investigate parameters and relationships between the possibly involved types of ED, FA, and EXD. Level of evidence Level III, well-designed cohort analytic study.

The Impact

Background: The current study aimed to test whether food addiction (FA) might mediate the relationship between the presence of a history of childhood maltreatment and eating disorder (ED) symptom severity. Methods: Participants were 231 patients with ED presenting between May 2017 and January 2020 to a daycare treatment facility for assessment and management with mainly the Eating Disorder Inventory-2 (EDI-2), the Child Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), and the Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS 2.0). Results: Participants had a median age of 24 (interquartile range (IQR) 20–33) years and manifested anorexia nervosa (61.47%), bulimia nervosa (16.88%), binge-eating disorders (9.09%), and other types of ED (12.55%). They were grouped into those likely presenting FA (N = 154) and those without FA (N = 77). The group with FA reported higher scores on all five CTQ subscales, as well as the total score of the EDI-2 (p < 0.001). Using mediation analysis; significant indirect pathways between all CTQ subscales and the EDI-2 total score emerged via FA, with the largest indirect effect emerging for physical neglect (standardized effect = 0.208; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.127–0.29) followed by emotional abuse (standardized effect = 0.183; 95% CI 0.109–0.262). Conclusion: These results are compatible with a model in which certain types of childhood maltreatment, especially physical neglect, may induce, maintain, and/or exacerbate ED symptoms via FA which may guide future treatments.

Abstract Objectives: There are reports that vegetarians, due to the specificity of their diet, may be at risk of orthorexia nervosa (ON), although researchers' opinions are not consistent. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between the motivation to use vegetarian diet and the personality traits as well as the tendency to ON. Methods: The study group comprised 480 vegetarians aged 18-40 years (414 women) divided into 3 groups: G1 - semi-vegetarians (n=60), G2 - lacto-ovo-vegetarians, ovo-vegetarians, lacto-vegetarians (n=238) and G3 - vegans, raw foodists and fruitarians (n=182). The questionnaire determining the motivation for vegetarian diet, Neuroticism-ExtraversionOpenness - Five Factor Inventory Personality Inventory and Bratman Test of Orthorexia were used. Results: No significant differences in the level of ON risk were observed between the groups. BMI was significantly lower in G3 than in G1 and G2. In G3 vegetarian diet was used for the longest time, and the highest level of ethical and health motivation to undertake this diet compared to the other respondents was seen (p<0.0001). The study revealed the lowest level of agreeableness in the G1. The neuroticism, extraversion, conscientiousness and ethical motivation to diet were positive predictors of ON, while agreeableness and experience with diet were its negative predictors (F=9.26, p<0.001, R2=0.12).Conclusion: It is concluded that personality traits, type of motivation to undertake a vegetarian diet and diet duration are associated with the risk of ON in vegetarians.Level of Evidence: Level V, cross-sectional descriptive study

No previous research has examined the association between symptoms of nomophobia and food addiction. Similarly, only a few studies have examined the association between nomophobia and symptoms of insomnia. This exploratory study utilized an online self-administered, structured questionnaire that included: basic sociodemographic and anthropometrics; the nomophobia questionnaire (NMP-Q); the insomnia severity index (ISI); and the Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS) in a convenience sample of young adults (18–35 years) in Bahrain (n = 654), 304 (46%) males and 350 (54%) females. Symptoms of severe nomophobia, moderate-severe insomnia, and food addiction were more common among female participants both for each disorder separately and in combination; however, differences did not reach statistical significance. For severe nomophobia, the rate for females was 76 (21.7%) and for males was 57 (18.8%) p = 0.9. For moderate-severe insomnia, the rate for females was 56 (16%) and for males was 36 (11.84%) p = 0.1. For food addiction, the rate for females was 71 (20.29%) and for males was 53 (17.43%) p = 0.3. A statistically significant association was present between nomophobia and insomnia r = 0.60, p < 0.001. No association was found between nomophobia and food addiction. Nomophobia is very common in young adults, particularly in females; nomophobia is associated with insomnia but not with food addiction.

This study aims to assess the epidemiological situation of five municipalities that are part of the bioceanic route in order to analyze the descriptors and general health aspect of the population through a retrospective, quantitative and cross-sectional descriptive study with a documentary approach, from secondary data reported to the National System of Notifiable Diseases in the municipalities of Guia Lopes da Laguna, Jardim, Nioaque, Porto Murtinho, Sidrolândia and Campo Grande, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, in the period from January 2015 to December 2020. The incidence rate ranged between 32.23 and 79.4 cases/100,000 inhabitants. There was a predominance of individuals aged between 30-39 years (26.05%) and males (67.5%). The most important injuries were alcoholism (19.15%) and smoking (18%). In the exams, 52.3% had positive bacilloscopy and 32.03% had a positive culture. The incidence of tuberculosis in the evaluated municipalities was higher than the Brazilian average and that of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. These evaluated municipalities do not have a favorable epidemiological situation with regard to tuberculosis and the construction of the biocenic route may further aggravate the situation.

Background: Overweight and obesity prevalence are still on the rise worldwide. Uncontrolled craving for specific foods has been associated with overweight/ obesity, categorizing them as possible abuse-related disorders with food addiction (FA) as their possible main phenotype. The association between FA and the onset of overweight/ obesity are still controversial, yet scientifically plausible and is the focus of many recent overweight/ obesity -related investigations. Objective: The current study was the first to examine the association of FA symptoms and obesity among young Bahraini adults. Methods: This study was designed using a cross-sectional research method recruiting a convenience adult samples of 654 aged 18-35 years. FA prevalence using Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS), sociodemographic, and anthropometric data, were collected using an on-line self-declared, semi-structured questionnaire. The descriptive results of the YFAS survey and the sociodemographic and anthropometric information were reported using descriptive statistics. Multiple regression test was utilized to analyze the correlations among examined factors. Results: A total of 124 (18.96%) participants met criteria for FA. Responses showed females had a slightly higher proportion of FA compared to the male participants). Results also showed no statistically significant association between various body mass index (BMI) categories and YFAS. For overweight participants, gender p = 0.018 appeared to be a significant predictor for BMI; and for obese participants, age p = 0.001 and sex p = 0.001 appeared to be significant predictors of BMI. Conclusions: No significant correlation was found between FA and BMI, age, and gender; on the other hand, age and gender were significant predictors for BMI.

Abstract Incidence Rate (IR) of Dengue fever in east and southwest Sumba district in 2015 amounted to 10.7‰ and 12.95‰ respectively. The phenomenon which is often found during this time is the transovarial transmission of the dengue virus in Ae. aegypti mosquitoes. The purpose of this research was to determine the presence of viral infections in Ae. aegypti mosquitoes through transovarial. It was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. The sample was an adult Ae. aegypti mosquito that is 8 to 10 days old. Dengue virus in mosquito body was checked by using immunocytochemical method Streptavidin Biotin Peroxidase Complex (ISBPC) at headsquash preparation. The resultshowed that the transovarial infection presence in male and female Ae. aegypti in East and Southwest Sumba District with Transovarial Infection Rate (TIR) in females and males ranging from 41.67%-41.92 and 25.00 – 50.00% respectively. The female and males mosquitoes TIR in East Sumba district were ranging from 20.00%-40.00% and 35.00%-40.00% respectively. East and Southwest Sumba districts are a high potential area for the transmission of dengue hemorrhagic fever with the presence of dengue virus in Ae. aegypti. Abstrak Incidence Rate (IR) Demam Berdarah Dengue di Kabupaten Sumba Barat Daya dan Kabupaten Sumba Timur pada tahun 2015 masing-masing sebesar 10,7‰ dan 12,95‰. Fenomena yang sering ditemukan selama ini adalah transmisi trans-ovari virus dengue pada nyamuk Ae. aegypti. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui adanya infeksi virus dengue pada nyamuk Ae. aegypti melalui trans-ovari. Penelitian ini merupakan studi deskriptif dengan desain potong lintang. Sampelnya adalah nyamuk Ae. aegypti dewasa yang telah berumur delapan sampai 10 hari. Pemeriksaan virus Dengue dalam tubuh nyamuk menggunakan metode Imunositokimia Streptavidin Biotin Peroxidase Complex (ISBPC) pada sediaan headsquash. Hasil penelitian infeksi virus dengue pada Ae. aegypti betina maupun jantan di Kabupaten Sumba Barat Daya menunjukkan adanya infeksi virus dengue melalui trans-ovari dengan Transovarial Infection Rate pada nyamuk betina berkisar antara 41,67% - 41,92, dan pada nyamuk jantan 25,00 – 50,00%. Transovarial Infection Rate di Kabupaten Sumba Timur pada nyamuk betina yang berkisar antara 20,00% - 40,00% dan pada nyamuk jantan 35,00% - 40,00%. Kesimpulannya Kabupaten Sumba Barat Daya dan kabupaten Sumba Timur merupakan daerah yang berpotensi untuk terjadinya penularan DBD dengan ditemukannya infeksi virus dengue pada nyamuk Ae. aegypti betina maupun jantan.
