The concept of food addiction (FA) has been associated with eating-related problems and obesity.

Forty-two (14.4%) received a FA diagnosis: 14 children and 28 adolescents. The number of FA symptoms in participants who received an FA diagnosis (M = 4.35, SD = 1.07) compared to participants with no FA diagnosis (M = 1.70, SD = 1.53) was significantly higher (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0\u2264\u00a00.001). There were no statistically significant gender differences and the proportion of subjects with an FA diagnosis did not differ by age between children and adolescents.
