AI simplified
Abstract
Eleven studies have examined the association between night eating syndrome (NES) and body mass index (BMI).
- Five studies indicated a positive relationship between NES and BMI, while five others found no relationship.
- One study produced mixed findings regarding the association.
- Emotional eating and age may influence the relationship between NES and BMI.
- Twelve studies assessed BMI differences between individuals with and without NES, with only five reporting significant differences.
- The majority of the recent literature is cross-sectional, limiting insights into causality.
