An observational, cross-sectional, and prospective study was conducted in IMSS beneficiaries with arterial hypertension from the General Hospital of Zone No. 12 between December 2024 and March 2025. The YFAS scale was used to evaluate food addiction symptoms, classified by severity levels: mild (2-3 symptoms), moderate (4-5 symptoms), and severe (6 or more symptoms).

Of these, 60% showed signs of food addiction. 85.7% of patients were under control thanks to the use of combined antihypertensives.
