An R, Shi Y, Clarke C, et al. - Using in-person 24-hour dietary recall data from a nationally representative survey, researchers explored the connection between night-time eating and body weight status among US adults. Individual-level data (n = 23,003) were obtained from the 2007–2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES; five waves). According to findings, about 36.5% and 56.7% of the NHANES adult candidates had obesity and abdominal obesity, respectively. In addition, the proportion of energy, total fat, saturated fat, and total intake of sugar within the time window of 00.00-05.59 hours and 22.00-23.59 hours averaged 5.7%, 5.3%, 5.7% and 6.8%, respectively. In the regression analyses, energy intake within the time window was not found to be linked to BMI, waist circumference, obesity, or abdominal obesity. Overall, night-time eating was not found to be linked to body weight status. However, limiting night-time consumption of food alone without an overall reduction in daily caloric intake cannot deter obesity. The investigators noted that the results of the current study warrant replication with habitual dietary behavior measures in future experimental research.
