- Abstract
Obesity is a worldwide public health problem. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2016, the number of overweight adults over 18 years old reached 1.9 billion, of which 650 million were obese. From 1975 to 2016, the global obesity rate has almost tripled. Night Eating Syndrome(NES) is associated with obesity, while it also occurs in nonobese person too. Because NES was defined as higher caloric intake in the evening, the proportion of the syndrome among the world continues increasing and needs more attention. The effects of the syndrome, such as depression, sleep disorders, and weight gain, should not be underestimated. According to the literature, previous research on NES has focused on concepts and therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapies, pharmacological interventions, and light therapies. In addition, the definition was clear, and the results were more positive. The current dominant therapies are pharmacological interventions and CBT therapies. However, the causes of NES and the individual effects and differences are not well studied. Therefore, this paper is a systematic literature review of the above three aspects and summarizes the previous results with international developments. Thus, to provide comprehensive information on NES and to help people learn more about it.
