Associations between mediterranean diet adherence, binge eating behavior, and oral health-related quality of life in adults.
Article in Journal of health, population, and nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDespite growing recognition of the complex interplay between eating patterns and health outcomes, few studies have simultaneously examined the associations between Mediterranean diet adherence, binge eating behavior, and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). This study aimed to address this gap by exploring these variables in a large adult population.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 1006 adults (aged 18-65 years) in Türkiye using an online survey. Validated instruments included the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Scale (MEDAS), Binge Eating Scale (BES), and the OHQoL-UK. Spearman correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were performed. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
resultsThe mean age of participants was 32.52 ± 12.8 years. Based on MEDAS scores, 46.7% of participants were classified as adherent to the Mediterranean diet. Binge eating behavior was significantly and negatively correlated with MD adherence (r = - 0.112, p < 0.001) and OHRQoL (r = - 0.078, p < 0.05), and positively correlated with BMI (r = 0.235, p < 0.001). Regression analysis identified BMI (β = 0.425, p < 0.001), gender (female; β = - 0.169, p < 0.001), marital status (single; β = 0.259, p < 0.001), income status (β = - 0.061, p = 0.034), MEDAS score (β = - 0.100, p < 0.001), and OHQoL-UK score (β = - 0.069, p = 0.017) as significant predictors of binge eating behavior, collectively explaining 20.5% of the variance (R² = 0.205).
conclusionThis study is among the first to explore these variables simultaneously and demonstrates that, beyond sociodemographic and weight-related factors, dietary and oral health indicators also independently contribute to binge eating behavior. These findings highlight the need for multidisciplinary prevention strategies integrating nutritional, psychological, and oral health dimensions.
