Food Addiction and Follow-up in Subjects With Obesity

Impact of Follow-up in Subjects With Obesity and Food Addiction

Obesity is a chronic disease. Its prevalence, which is constantly increasing, as well as the morbidity and mortality caused, require the development of new treatments, particularly for associated eating disorders. Indeed, it has been shown that a participation of abnormalities of food addiction type behaviour was frequently found in patients hospitalized for obesity (25% of patients). These disorders require specific management if you want to achieve a good weight result. The aim of the study is to compare the weight evolution of patients with addiction-type disorder (addict) versus those without addiction (non-addict) as well as the management modalities.
