Description

Bibi Aliya Seelarbokus and four co-authors measured addictive-like eating in patients recovering from a first minor or moderate stroke at a French hospital. Diet is a known stroke risk factor, but disordered eating itself is rarely studied in this group. The team screened 101 patients over four months with the Yale Food Addiction Scale, then tested links with obesity, high blood pressure, cholesterol problems, and diabetes.

Five percent of patients met the full diagnosis of food addiction. Far more, 38.6 percent, showed at least one symptom, most often feeling unable to cut down. Cholesterol problems were the only risk factor tied to the diagnosis itself. A more severe addictive profile was also tied to cholesterol problems and to diabetes. The authors present the study as an early look at a neglected corner of stroke care.
