This systematic review with meta‐analysis aimed to (1) estimate this prognostic effect of FA diagnosis and symptom count in individuals with overweight or obesity and (2) explore potential sources of heterogeneity based on properties of the weight loss intervention, study, and sample (e.g., age, gender, ethnicity). We searched PubMed, PsycINFO, and Web of Science for studies reporting on associations between pre‐intervention FA (assessed with the Yale Food Addiction Scale) and weight outcomes after weight loss intervention in individuals with overweight or obesity without a medically diagnosed eating disorder. Twenty‐five studies met inclusion criteria, including 4904 individuals (71% women, <jats:italic>M</jats:italic><jats:sub>age</jats:sub> = 41 years, BMI = 40.82 kg/m<jats:sup>2</jats:sup>), <jats:italic>k</jats:italic> = 18 correlations of weight loss with FA symptom count, and <jats:italic>k</jats:italic> = 21 mean differences between FA diagnosis groups. Pooled estimates of random‐effects meta‐analyses found limited support for a detrimental effect of FA symptom count and diagnosis on weight loss intervention outcomes. Negative associations with FA increased for behavioral weight loss interventions and among more ethnically diverse samples. More research on the interaction of FA with pre‐existing mental health problems and environmental factors is needed."}],"issue":"2","publisher":"Wiley","quality_controlled":"1","publication_status":"published","keyword":["bariatric surgery","diverse populations","food addiction","gender differences","obesity","psychotherapy","weight loss"],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication":"Obesity reviews : an official journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity ","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1467-789X"],"issn":["1467-7881"]},"date_created":"2026-03-25T14:40:47Z","date_updated":"2026-03-25T15:12:23Z","author":[{"full_name":"Halbeisen, Georg","first_name":"Georg","id":"85780","last_name":"Halbeisen","orcid":"0000-0002-9529-2215"},{"first_name":"Marie","last_name":"Pahlenkemper","full_name":"Pahlenkemper, Marie"},{"last_name":"Sabel","first_name":"Luisa","full_name":"Sabel, Luisa"},{"first_name":"Candice","full_name":"Richardson, Candice","last_name":"Richardson"},{"last_name":"Agüera","first_name":"Zaida","full_name":"Agüera, Zaida"},{"first_name":"Fernando","full_name":"Fernandez‐Aranda, Fernando","last_name":"Fernandez‐Aranda"},{"last_name":"Paslakis","first_name":"Georgios","full_name":"Paslakis, Georgios"}],"year":"2024","status":"public","title":"The prognostic role of food addiction for weight loss treatment outcomes in individuals with overweight and obesity: A systematic review and meta‐analysis","citation":{"chicago-de":"Halbeisen, Georg, Marie Pahlenkemper, Luisa Sabel, Candice Richardson, Zaida Agüera, Fernando Fernandez‐Aranda und Georgios Paslakis. 2024.
