In addition, we explored premise that disordered eating (i.e. late at night and/or binge eating, which can occur night) may partly explain relationship. Method An online survey asked 330 participants about their height weight, recent quality, experiences of binge-eating night-time eating. Results Using multiple regression analyses, BMI was shown to be related shorter duration, increased latency, use sleeping medications worse binge-eating, whereas night-eating, after controlling for depression demographics. mediational mediate higher BMI, night-eating mediated reverse association quality. Discussion The results suggest night- observed overweight/obesity. Thus, simply reflect overweight people are more likely binge-eat while they wait come, this contribute weight gain over time. indicate rather than or obesity responsible causing deficits people.
