*4.3. Perspectives*

In showing an overlap between ED and FA, this study allows consideration of ED, including AN-R, from an addictive perspective, thus paving the way for therapeutic management that draws from those proposed for addictive disorders. Given that patients with ED and FA exhibit a different profile than patients with ED and no FA, tailor-made treatment might be proposed based on the existence of FA. Because the object of addiction is not clearly defined in the YFAS, the relevance of modeling its criteria on diagnostic criteria for SUD can be questioned, and further studies are needed to evaluate the intrinsic nature of some food addictive properties. The term eating addiction rather than FA might be most appropriate because it includes the behavioral component of the disorder. It would be of interest in further studies to specifically assess eating addiction in ED samples, with a specific scale such as the Addiction-like Eating Behaviour Scale [88]. This could be considered a clinical entity that needs to be better characterized.
