Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals high prevalence of night eating syndrome and an independent link to metabolic syndrome in diabetes, highlighting its importance in clinical risk assessment.

Key Points

  • To determine the prevalence of night eating syndrome in individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes and evaluate its associations with glycemic control and metabolic risk markers.
  • Cross-sectional study of 500 patients with diabetes (108 with type 1 diabetes and 392 with type 2 diabetes).
  • Night Eating Syndrome was evaluated using the Night Eating Questionnaire (NEQ score ≥ 25), with associations assessed via group comparisons, correlations, and multivariable binary logistic regression.
  • The overall prevalence of night eating syndrome was 23.2%, with no significant difference observed between type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
  • NEQ scores correlated with fasting glucose and HbA1c in type 1 diabetes, and with waist circumference, triglycerides, and atherogenic index of plasma in type 2 diabetes.
  • Multivariable logistic regression demonstrated that the NEQ score was independently associated with metabolic syndrome (OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.046–1.122).
