Abstract

Background & aims: Individuals can develop an addiction-like attraction towards highly processed foods, which has led to the conceptualization of food addiction, a phenotype linked to obesity. In this study, we investigated whether food addiction is associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Methods: 1699 adults from the general population and 1394 adults from a population with clinically verified mental disorder completed a cross-sectional survey including the Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0. Logistic regression was employed to examine the association between food addiction and T2D, the latter operationalized via Danish registers.

Results: Food addiction was strongly associated with T2D in the general population (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 6.7) and among individuals with mental disorder (AOR = 2.4) in a dose-response-like manner.

Conclusion: This is the first study to demonstrate a positive association between food addiction and T2D in a general population sample. Food addiction may be a promising target for prevention of T2D.
