“…A number of studies have shown that melatonin and melatoninergic agents are effective in treating wakefulness because they can accelerate the onset of sleep, increase sleep duration, and slightly alter sleep patterns [47]. Melatonin agonists [48,49] have been approved by the EU and the US for the treatment of wakefulness and resynchronization of circadian rhythms. In this regard, it is possible to assume that melatonin plays a role in the development of NES.…”

Aim. The aim is to study the frequency of night eating syndrome (NES) and its correlation with melatonin levels in the daily urine of adolescents. Materials and methods. Primary screening of 486 adolescents (15–18 years) with complaints of eating disorders, overweight, obesity, which included a survey (test “Depressive Disorders in Adolescents”, Night Eating Questionnaire (NEQ), Dutch Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (DEBQ) and anthropometry (BMI) was conducted. In the second stage, a sample of 56 adolescents (11.5 %) who met the NES criteria of DSM-5 (main group) and 50 adolescents who did not have NES (comparison group) was formed. The urine concentration of 6-sulfatoxymelatonin (6-COMT) was determined by enzyme immunoassay (Buhlmann 6-Sulfatoxymelatonin ELISA Kit, Switzerland). Results. Deficit of body weight had 3 (8.8 %) of adolescent boys, 20 (58.8 %) were overweight, 1 (2.9 %) – obese and only 10 (29.4 %) had the average normative values of body weight; among female adolescents, 1 (4.5 %) – body weight deficit and obesity, 10 (45.5 %) – overweight and average normative indicators. According to the DEBQ, restrictive eating behaviors were identified in 15 (26.8 %) adolescents; in 30 (53.6 %) adolescents – emotional and in 11 (19.6 %) adolescents – external. The mean score of the NEQ was 28.4 ± 2.2 and positively correlated with BMI (r = +0.62, P < 0.05). Participants who exceeded the screening threshold for NES (n = 56, 11.5 %) had increased BMI (P < 0.01), likelihood of overweight/obesity (P = 0.001), consumption of sugary drinks (P < 0.001), daytime sleep less than twice a week (P < 0.01), shorter sleep duration (P < 0.01), high and moderate levels of depression, lower levels of melatonin, which were inversely correlated with the results of the NEQ (r = -0.68, P < 0.05). Conclusions. The prevalence of NES among teenagers was 11.5 %. Among the types of eating behavior, the most common was the emotional type (53.6 %). Adolescents with NES had a significantly higher total depression score (96.7 ± 8.06, P < 0.001) and a lower level of 6-COMT (22.89 ± 3.44, P < 0.001), which was inversely correlated with the degree of NES (r = -0.68, P < 0.05), BMI (r = -0.74; P < 0.01) and depression level (r = -0.65; P < 0.01).

“…Nutritional balance is a composition of food that contains nutrients, and the amount is based on the needs of the body [17]. The family's nutritional balance can be achieved if the food pattern [18] adheres to the four pillar principles of food diversity, a clean and healthy lifestyle, physical activity, and regular weight monitoring in order to maintain a healthy body weight [19], [20].…”

The purpose of this study is to observe the nutritional balance of fisherman's families in the Mandeh area of West Sumatra, Indonesia, in terms of food diversity, a clean and healthy lifestyle, physical activity, and nutritional status during the nutritional transition period. The sample size was 119 fishermen's families from the Mandeh area who were chosen randomly. An interview method that included a questionnaire and anthropometric measurements was used as the data collection technique. The interaction trend of nutritional status with food diversity, a clean and healthy lifestyle, and physical activity was seen by Chi-square analysis. The results found a significant relationship between physical activity and the nutritional status of fishermen's families, with a p-value of 0.020. Meanwhile, there was no correlation between food diversity, a clean and healthy lifestyle, and nutritional status (p>0.05). Additionally, nutritional problems, particularly obesity and malnutrition cases in fishermen's families in the Mandeh area of West Sumatera during the nutritional transition period, require attention; for instance, increasing prevention strategies to maintain nutritional balance.
