Objective: Food addiction is discussed as a substance-related addictive disorder, which is prevalent in normal and underweight subjects. Addictions often co-occur. It was suggested that food addiction and exercise dependence (behavioral addiction), may co-occur in vulnerable athletes. This assumption was made since the eating behavior of athletes in certain situations is similar to the eating behavior seen in food addiction. In addition, exercise dependence may play a significant role in individuals’ eating related pathologies, and thus possibly also in food addiction. Athletes may be an interesting population to examine the co-occurrence of food and exercise addictions, as athletes represent a group that is potentially at-risk for both, eating problems and exercise dependence. Perfectionism is a construct that has been implicated in both, exercise dependence and eating disorders. Current study explores potential relationships among the two addictive disorders food addiction and exercise dependence—with perfectionism being the common thread between the two. Method: A total of 1022 German speaking amateur athletes completed an online questionnaire consisting of the questionnaires Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0, Questionnaire to diagnose exercise-dependence in endurance sports and Multidimensional inventory of perfectionism in sport. Result: A mediator effect of exercise dependence on the relationship between perfectionism and food addiction was found. Approximately 4 % (positive)/6 % (negative) of the variance in food addiction were accounted for by the mediator. Conclusion: The appearance of food addiction in normal/underweight individuals may partially be explained by sports-related reasons, e.g. exercise dependence and perfectionism.
