Abstract
Food addiction is a dysfunctional consumption of energetically dense, hyper-palatable, and ultra-processed foods that may lead to addictive behaviors. It is associated with mental disorders such as eating, mood, and anxiety disorders, which negatively impact the quality of life for individuals affected. Therefore, healthcare providers need to assess food addiction. The Modified Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0 (mYFAS 2.0) is a brief instrument consisting of 13 questions developed to assess FA. Although it was previously adapted for Brazilian Portuguese in a non-clinical sample, this is the first study in Brazil to investigate this tool in a psychiatric sample. The main aim of our study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the mYFAS 2.0 in individuals with a Depressive Disorder. The results suggested that mYFAS 2.0 had satisfactory psychometric properties in this sample, and it may be a brief, useful, and valid scale to screen food addiction in individuals with depressive states.
