About the Collection

Addictive patterns of eating, commonly referred to as food addiction (FA), and more recently introductions of them ultra processed food addiction (UPFA) has been discussed in published literature. The nexus between food addiction and eating disorders is currently gaining greater scientific attention as researchers work toward a more accurate understanding of the overlap complexities and the intricacies that exist between these conditions. While research suggests overlap in several areas including aetiology, comorbidity and risk factors, many questions still remain.

The purpose of this Collection is to explore the nexus between food addiction and eating disorders.

The scope of this Collection includes (but is not restricted to):

  • Commentary articles
  • Clinical trials investigating the effect of treatment interventions for eating disorders on food addiction outcomes, or conversely the effect of treatment interventions for food addiction on eating disorder outcomes. 
  • Methodology papers that address the substantial challenge of undertaking rigorous research at the intersection of food addiction and eating disorders, each of which has their own methodological challenges.
  • Basic science research that provides novel insights into the shared and differing mechanisms of food addiction and eating disorders.
  • Systematic Reviews and meta-analyses that synthesise the current evidence and bring new understanding to the topic. Epidemiological studies on the bi-directional impact or risk between food addiction and eating disorder psychopathology.
