The association between perceived stress, food addiction, and BMI. Perceived stress = perceived stress scale with range 0–40; Food addiction = food addiction or non-food addiction recognized by Yale Food Addiction Scale; BMI = Body Mass Index (kg/m²). Regression coefficients of multiple linear regressions are unstandardized and the coefficient for the indirect relationship between perceived stress and BMI controlling for food addiction in parentheses. The indirect effect size of perceived stress on BMI through FA is 25.18%. * p < 0.01.
