“…Responses were rated on a 5-point Likert scale, and a cutoff score of 25 was used to indicate the presence of NES [ 17 ]. The validity and reliability of the Korean version of the NEQ have been previously confirmed [ 18 ], and NES has been successfully evaluated using this questionnaire in previous research [ 19 ].…”

Purpose Quality of life may be influenced by the presence of eating disorders. This study investigated the association between night eating syndrome (NES) and health-related quality of life in the general population. Methods Data were from the 2019 Korea Community Health Survey. The presence of NES was determined using the Night Eating Questionnaire. Health-related quality of life was measured using the 3-level EuroQoL-5 Dimension Index. Multivariable linear regression analyses assessed the association between NES and health-related quality of life. Subgroup analyses were performed based on daily sleep duration. Results A total of 34,434 individuals aged 19 years or older were included in the study population. Participants with NES (β = − 4.85, p < 0.001) reported poorer health-related quality of life scores than those without NES. Decreases in health-related quality of life scores among those with NES were greatest in those who slept over 8 h daily (β = − 12.03, p = 0.004), followed by those who slept less than 6 h (β = − 5.90, p = 0.006) and participants who slept between 6 and 8 h (β = − 3.40, p = 0.026) daily. Conclusion Individuals with NES were more likely to have a lower health-related quality of life than those without NES. These findings highlight the potential importance of considering NES in investigating the health-related quality of life. Level of evidence Level III, well-designed case–control analytic studies.

“…The Korea Community Health Survey which included 34,358 individuals aged 19 years and over revealed a higher depression score in subjects with episodes of NES and an association between levels of depression and NES [ 68 ]. Episodes of NES have been observed in 7.8% of patients with generalized anxiety disorder [ 69 ].…”

Emotional Eating and Binge Eating Disorders and Night Eating Syndrome in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome—A Vicious Circle of Disease: A Systematic Review

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Obesity is an established risk factor for the development of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), especially phenotype A. PCOS is an important cause of fertility disorders in a large group of women of reproductive age. For many years, effective methods of treating hormonal disorders associated with PCOS have been sought in order to restore ovulation with regular menstrual cycles. Numerous studies support obesity treatment as an effective therapeutic method for many women. A seemingly simple method of treatment may prove to be particularly difficult in this group of women. The reason for this may be the lack of recognition the primary cause of obesity development or the occurrence of a vicious circle of disease. Primary causes of developing obesity may be emotional eating (EE) and eating disorders (EDs), such as binge eating disorder (BED) and its extreme form, addictive eating, as well as night eating syndrome (NES). All of these are caused by impaired function of the reward system. Consequently, these disorders can develop or be exacerbated in women with obesity and PCOS as a result of depression and anxiety related to hirsutism and fertility disturbances. Therefore, for the effective treatment of obesity, it is very important to recognize and treat EE, BED, and NES, including the appropriate selection of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. Therefore, the aim of our manuscript is to analyze the available data on the relationships between EE, BED, NES, obesity, and PCOS and their impact on the treatment of obesity in women with PCOS.

“…The cross-sectional design of the study restricts the ability to establish causality. The inclusion of only euthymic patients may have influenced the frequency of NES, as prior research has linked night eating symptoms with depressive symptoms (Gluck et al, 2001; Guentcheva et al, 2020; Kim et al, 2022). Furthermore, using self-report scales to assess NES may have resulted in a higher prevalence than clinical diagnosis.…”

The purpose of the study was to explore the association among chronotype, seasonality, sleep quality, and night eating syndrome (NES) among patients with bipolar disorder (BD) and the mediating role of sleep quality in this relationship. Ninety-two individuals with BD type 1 who had been euthymic for at least 8 weeks and 87 healthy controls were included. In addition to sociodemographic/clinical data, chronotype, seasonality, sleep quality, and NES were evaluated using the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ), Seasonal Pattern Assessment Questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Night Eating Questionnaire. The prevalence of NES (17.4%) was higher among BD than the controls. BD patients with NES had poorer sleep quality, greater seasonality, and lower MEQ scores. Chronotype had an indirect effect that was partially mediated by sleep quality on night eating symptoms in BD patients, in addition to a direct effect. Seasonality was found to have a direct effect on night eating symptoms. Therapeutic interventions that target both sleep and circadian disruption should be implemented when addressing NES in patients with BD.
