RESUMO:O presente trabalho objetiva caracterizar a incidência da síndrome do comer noturno e a compulsão alimentar em estudantes do curso de nutrição. Trata-se de um estudo transversal de caráter analítico realizado em uma instituição de nível superior em Petrolina -PE. Foram aplicados três questionários: questionário de hábitos do comer noturno, a escala de ingestão compulsiva e o The Three factor eating questionnaire. Avaliaram-se 81 estudantes de ambos os sexos, com predominância do sexo feminino. Não houve associação significativa entre a síndrome do comer noturno ou a compulsão alimentar com as variáveis sexo e escolaridade. Em relação às variáveis comportamentais, a alimentação emocional foi o fator melhor relacionado ao descontrole alimentar e a restrição cognitiva tem pouca contribuição para o agravamento da alimentação descontrolada. O investimento no estudo dos transtornos alimentares é importante para a criação de uma intervenção adequada, com o intuito de reduzir incidência tanto da SCN como da compulsão alimentar. PALAVRAS-CHAVE:Transtorno da compulsão alimentar; Estudantes; Transtornos da Alimentação e da Ingestão de Alimentos.

Eighty-one students, males and females, mostly the latter, were evaluated. There was no significant association between night-eating syndrome or feed compulsive disorder for the variables gender and schooling. In the case of behavioral variables, emotional feeding was the factor which was most related to lack of control in feeding, whilst cognitive restriction scantily contributed towards the worsening of uncontrolled feeding.
