Description
Five authors, led by Gro Walø-Syversen, studied food addiction in Norwegian weight-loss surgery patients in this 2024 paper. Some people eat rich food with the pull of addiction: cravings, loss of control, and distress when trying to stop. Whether that pattern changes surgical outcomes was unclear.
Sixty-nine patients, about three quarters of them women, filled in standard questionnaires before surgery and a year after. The tools measured food addiction, eating disorder symptoms, repetitive eating, and depression and anxiety. The team then linked scores to each other and to weight lost over the year. The aim is clinical sorting: if addiction-like eating flags patients who will struggle, programs can add support before and after the operation, rather than after weight returns.
