The presented study examined the between food addiction and experienced weight stigma in the adult population of Czech women. The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of food addiction on women's mental health via the connection between food addiction and experiencing weight stigma. We translated and used Yale Food Addiction Scale (mYFAS 2.0.), and the Weight stigma scale SSI-Bb. The investigation was carried in over 1000 participants who completed the questionnaires online. Food addiction and weight-related stigma are connected to negative consequences on well-being, emotional health, and physical health.
