Introduction: In México obesity rates have been increasing in the last years. Food addiction (FA) has been considered a factor that could explain processes or behaviors associated with obesity. Objectives: The aim of this study was the identification of risk patterns of FA and it association with other variables in healthy Mexican population. Methods: We hypothesized that a higher risk of FA will be higher levels of impulsivity, emotion dysregulation, and emotional and external eating styles. The sample consisted of 81 female (61) and male (20) volunteers universitary students from Pachuca city in México, with an average age of 20.0 years old (SD = 1,7). The questionnaires EDI-2, YFAS 2.0, DERS, UPPS-P, and DEBQ were applied. Results: Figure 1: Radar-chart (z-standardized means are plotted) (n=81) Three groups were defined by the FA severity (Figure 1). The presence of FA was more strongly associated to higher scores in the threeDEBQscales, in the DERS impulse control, emotion regulation and total score, and in the UPPS-P lack of premeditation and negative urgency. Compared with the group without FA, the FA-probable scoring was related to higher levels in the DEBQ external and restrained scales, and in the DERS total; FA-probable group also registered the highest mean score in the DERS non acceptance scale compared with the other groups. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first study that explores FA in Mexican population. Considering that, the identification of different patterns of FA that could be associated with obesity, could lead to better prevention and treatment approaches. Disclosure: The present work was supported by a grant to the presenter author from the Mexican Institution: "Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología" (CONACYT). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
