TI  - A Preliminary Cross-Sectional Study: Does Music Listening Have a Negative Impact on Eating Behavior?
AB  - Objective: Cortical auditory and gustatory centers are considered to interact with each other. Studies have shown that music affects eating behavior. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of the time spent on engaging with music on eating behavior. Material and Method: This is a randomized cross-sectional study. It included 40 volunteering undergraduates enrolled in the Department of Music, Fine Arts Faculty, Yuzuncu Yil University, Van, Turkey. All participants were administered a questionnaire to assess the time spent engaging with music, the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-40), and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The body mass index (BMI) was calculated for each participant. Results: Eating behavior disorder (EBD) was detected in 11 (27.5%) participants. The EAT-40 scores established a positive correlation with the total time spent on music per week (Total-T) (r=0.413, p<0.01). The mean Total-T score was significantly higher in participants with EBD compared to those without EBD (16.45±15.896 vs. 6.24±6.418 h/week) (p=0.006). Furthermore, the mean score for the time spent playing a musical instrument per week (Inst-T) was significantly higher in participants with EBD compared to those without EBD (5.00±5.254 vs. 2.72±1.412 h/week) (p=0.036). Conclusion: According to the data from this study, the time spent engaging with music increases eating behavior negatively.
