Description
Summary:To differentiate between a pleasantness and an addictive conduct, it is necessary a loss of control associated with such conduct, which is maintained despite negative consequences (Wise & Koob, 2014). [...]FA was defined as hedonic eating behavior involving the consumption of highly palatable foods in quantities beyond homeostatic energy requirements (Gold & Shriner, 2013). In this regard, specific problems with any of these highly palatable foods could be also involved in alterations of cognitive performance; unfortunately, to our knowledge, there are no previous studies that have evaluated these aspects. [...]based on the hypothesis that adolescents with FA may present an impaired cognitive functioning, the aim of the present work was to evaluate and characterize the association between FA diagnostic and its associated symptoms with academic performance. [...]as a secondary objective, we aimed to identify those foods with high addictive potential that could be related to academic performance. Methods Design and Participants A cross-sectional study was designed to evaluate possible associations between food addiction and academic performance.
