The Turkish version of the MEC demonstrated strong reliability and validity among adolescents, supporting its use in assessing compulsive eating behaviors. Given the increasing prevalence of obesity and eating disorders in Turkish youth, this tool provides a valuable resource for early detection and intervention in research and clinical settings.
