ABSTRACT
Introduction
Obesity has a multifactorial etiology and is a global public health
problem which also affects Mexican population. Obesity is characterized
by excessive body adiposity, as well as high prevalence of
diverse comorbidities, which diminish life quality. Sedentary lifestyle
and hypercaloric food overconsumption are amongst the causes of
obesity. It has been suggested that some traits seen in obese patients
may represent an addictive behavior, similar to those observed in
substance-dependent patients.
Objective
The aim of this work was the validation of the Spanish version of the
Yale Food Addiction Rating Scale (YFAS) in a Mexican adult population
sample.
Method
The scale was applied twice to 160 participants with a three weeks
period in-between. The factorial model was corroborated with Bartlett’s
sphericity test and with that of Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin.
Results
Internal consistency was calculated by means of Cronbach’s alpha
which was α = 0.7963; reliability, measured with Spearman’s coefficient
by means of the test-retest method, was
r = 0.565,
n = 96.
Convergence validity was estimated using the Binge Eating Scale
(BES) and Spearman’s correlation (
r = 0.5868
p ≤ 0.0001;
n = 157).
Bartlett’s sphericity test showed (χ
2
(300) = 1572.33,
p ‹ 0.05) and
that of Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO = 0.825), showing consistency for
the factorial model. Spearman’s correlation between YFAS and body
mass index (BMI) showed
r = 0.2843
p ≤ 0.001;
n = 151.
Discussion and conclusion
The Spanish version of the YFAS showed psychometric properties not
different from the original and adapted existing versions. Therefore,
YFAS Spanish version could be useful in healthcare and clinical research
in Mexican population.
