From concept to measurement: initial validation of the Ultra-Processed Food Consumption Scale.

Similarly, BMI was significantly positively correlated with YFAS scores, r = 0.33, p < 0.001, suggesting that individuals with higher BMI reported more severe food addiction symptoms (Table 2 ). The moderation analysis examining whether the relationship between Ultra-Processed Food Consumption (UPFC) and food addiction symptoms (YFAS scores) was moderated by adherence to a Mediterranean diet (MD) showed an interaction between UPFC and MD that approached significance ( b = −0.0390, p = 0.0999), suggesting a potential moderating effect.
