Frequency of night eating syndrome and its relationship with impulsivity in bariatric surgery candidates
Aims: Eating attitude disorders are more common in obese individuals compared to the normal population and cause resistance to treatment. In our study, it is aimed to determine the frequency of night eating syndrome, which is an eating disorder, and to reveal its relationship with impulsivity, which is a personality trait, in bariatric surgery candidates with severe obesity .
Methods: Between May 2022 and December 2022, 93 patients aged 18-65 years who were planned for bariatric surgery were applied to Balıkesir University Health Practice and Research Hospital General Surgery outpatient clinic, Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA), Hamilton depression scale (HAMD), Barratt impulsivity scale (BIS-11), Night Eating Questionnaire (ADL) were applied.
Results: 69 (74.2%) of the participants were women. There was no significant difference between genders in terms of ADL scores (p=0.683). h Night eating syndrome was detected in one third of the patients. (N=31). Barratt -not planning and total scale scores of patients with an ADL score above 25 were found to be higher than those with an ADL score of 25 and below (p=0.010, p=0.044, respectively).
Conclusion: Considering that night eating syndrome is associated with one third of obesity and it is associated with impulsivity, addressing the impulsivity of individuals with overeating in cognitive behavioral therapy before the operation will contribute to the success of the treatment.
