肥胖症流行率的上升是一个全球性问题。饮食行为和昼夜节律被证明是肥胖病因学中的重要因素。夜食综合征（内斯）的特征是增加深夜进食，失眠，情绪低落和痛苦。很明显，与体重有关的人口中的流行率高于一般社区。这种综合征和肥胖之间的确切关系尚不清楚。文献中发现的差异的原因可能包括不同的诊断标准和广泛的研究人群特征。内斯并不总是导致体重增加，因此某些个体可能易受夜间进食相关体重增加的影响。通过手术和行为治疗减轻体重已显示出减少症状的成功。越来越多的将肥胖与昼夜节律失衡联系起来的文献加强了内斯与肥胖之间的联系。昼夜节律基因可能在这种综合征中发挥作用。本综述将探讨肥胖的不同方面的背景下，内斯。
The rising prevalence of obesity is a global concern. Eating behaviour and circadian rhythm are proving to be important factors in the aetiology of obesity. The night-eating syndrome (NES) is characterized by increased late-night eating, insomnia, a depressed mood and distress. It is evident that prevalence is higher among weight-related populations than the general community. The exact relationship between this syndrome and obesity remains unclear. The reasons for the discrepancies found in the literature likely include varying diagnostic criteria and a wide range of study population characteristics. NES does not always lead to weight gain in thus certain individuals may be susceptible to night-eating-related weight gain. Weight loss through surgical and behavioural treatments has shown success in diminishing symptoms. The increasing literature associating obesity with circadian imbalances strengthens the link between the NES and obesity. Circadian genes may play a role in this syndrome. This review will examine different aspects of obesity in the context of the NES.
