The night‐eating syndrome and obesity

Abstract: The rising prevalence of obesity is a global concern. Eating behaviour and circadian rhythm are proving to be important factors in the aetiology of obesity. The night-eating syndrome (NES) is characterized by increased late-night eating, insomnia, a depressed mood and distress. It is evident that prevalence is higher among weight-related populations than the general community. The exact relationship between this syndrome and obesity remains unclear. The reasons for the discrepancies found in the literature lik… Show more

“…Both night-eating syndrome and shift work may be associated with obesity and metabolic syndromes (9,32,33), which could result in susceptibility to various diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Psychiatric symptoms are associated with nighteating syndrome, shift work, and jet lag conditions (9,10,34).…”

“…Os desequilíbrios circadianos reforçam a ligação entre a SCN com a obesidade, assim, teoricamente a SCN poderia levar ao ganho de peso sendo resultado do excesso de calorias consumidas durante a noite. Com efeito, estudos têm mostrado que o comer noturno leva ao ganho de peso e que o início da obesidade ocorre mais cedo na vida daqueles com a síndrome (GALLANT et al, 2012).…”
