The Validity And Reliability Of The Turkish Version Of The Modified Yale Food Addiction Scale Version 2.0

Abstract

Introduction and aim: Randolph first proposed the concept of food addiction (FA) in 1956, but it has become more emphasized with the spread of obesity in recent years. In this study, we aimed to test the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the modified Yale food addiction scale version 2.0, which has been developed to evaluate the substance use disorder criteria in DSM V in 2017 in terms of food addiction. Materials and methods: The methodological and descriptive study was performed in seven family medicine units between June 2017 and March 2018. A total of 271 people was included in the study, and the questionnaire was asked to answer a total of 32 questions, including 13 questions about phrasing, socio-demographic characteristics, habits, current diseases, and 19 questions about weight. In statistical analyses, the validity of the scale was tested for language validity, content validity, factor validity, and construct validity. In the reliability analysis, internal consistency and time invariance of the scale against time were evaluated. A p-value of <0.05 was considered significant. Results: The mean age of the 271 participants (75.6% female) was 39.23±12.66 SD, and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 29.249±6.113 SD. After the language validity of the scale, the content validity of the scale (Davis value≥0.80), compatibility with factor analysis (KMO value 0.709 and Barlett sphericity test result p<0.001), and internal consistency (Cronbach alpha coefficient 0.802) were found sufficient. Conclusion: mYFAS 2.0 can be used as a data collection tool in ‘food addiction’ screening.
