“…Though some positive dietary behaviours (eg, adoption of new fruits and vegetables in Australia) were reported by participants, most of the newly acquired behaviours put them at risks of excess weight gain and weight-related diseases. [36][37][38] For instance, skipping breakfast, snacking between meals and late eating can impact negatively on participants' health, as studies have identified an association between such behaviours and weight-related problems. [36][37][38] Increase in the consumption of fast foods and regular eating out-of-home could also be a risk factor for weight gain and related NCDs.…”

Issue addressed Several studies have attributed excess weight gain after immigration to changes in dietary and physical activity behaviours. However, recognising the main factors that influence post‐migration changes in dietary and physical activity behaviours is less clear, particularly among Australian residents of sub‐Saharan African (SSA) ancestry. Drawing on acculturation theory, this study examines main factors driving changes in dietary and physical activity behaviours among Australian residents who were born in SSA and provides insight into the extent to which the factors are related to immigration. Methods A qualitative design based on a phenomenological approach was employed and a quota sampling technique was used to recruit 24 study participants for in‐depth interviews. Results The study found significant self‐reported changes in dietary and physical activity behaviours after immigration that increase the risk of excess weight gain. The changes in dietary and physical activity behaviours were mainly driven by issues related to availability, accessibility and affordability of dietary and physical activity products. Time management and factors related to convenience also emerged as key determinants of change in dietary and physical activity behaviours. Apparently, some factors noted by participants shape dietary and physical activity behaviours irrespective of immigration, and these factors include: tastes and cravings for foods; friends and family influence on behaviour; and misconceptions about food and exercise. Conclusion Migration from SSA to Australia contributed to changes (mainly less healthy) in dietary and physical activity behaviours. To a large extent, post‐migration changes in dietary and physical activity behaviours were driven by socio‐economic and environmental factors. So what? Health promotion programs that address the risky behaviours associated with excess weight gain among Australian residents of SSA ancestry should pay more attention to socio‐economic and environmental factors.

“…Importantly, the prevalence of NES in diabetic patients is associated with poor glycemic control (Hood, Reutrakul, & Crowley, 2014;Schwandt et al, 2012). In addition, there is evidence that symptoms of NES are associated with poor metabolic health (Gallant et al, 2015).…”

The Night Eating Syndrome (NES) in Bariatric Surgery Patients

The night eating syndrome (NES) has been included into the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 as an example of an 'other-specified feeding or eating disorder'. The prevalence of NES has found to be higher in obese populations than in the general population and seems to rise with increasing body mass index. Recent studies suggest a prevalence of 2%-20% in bariatric surgery samples. Given that the core feature of this eating disorder may involve a shift in the circadian pattern of eating that disrupts sleep, and not the ingestion of objectively large amounts of food, it is a pattern that can continue after bariatric surgery. Nonetheless, symptoms of NES appear to decrease after weight loss surgery, and there is no evidence that pre-surgery NES negatively impacts weight loss following surgery. Prospective and longitudinal studies of the course of night eating symptoms are warranted using clear criteria and standardized assessment instruments.

“…Furthermore, some studies have identified distinct psychobehavioral and biological characteristics also indicating that individuals with LSR are at a higher risk of overeating and weight gain. Accordingly, individuals characterized by a low SQ in response to a fixed meal have been associated with a greater implicit wanting for high-fat foods, a higher level of disinhibition, a lower feeling of control over food cravings [9], a tendency to have higher levels of susceptibility for hunger triggered by external cues and night eating symptoms [10], which are all behavior traits that have been related to overeating, obesity, and weight gain [11,12,13]. LSR has also been associated with a tendency for greater anxiety and blunted cortisol response after a meal, suggesting a dysregulation with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis [10], a condition that has been associated with obesity [14].…”

Effect of Energy Restriction on Eating Behavior Traits and Psychobehavioral Factors in the Low Satiety Phenotype

et al. 2019

Studies have shown that individuals with low satiety efficiency may be more susceptible to weight gain, but little is known about the effect of weight loss intervention outcomes in these individuals. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of an energy-restricted weight loss intervention on eating behavior traits and psychobehavioral factors in individuals differing in their satiety responsiveness. A pooled cohort of individuals who were overweight or obese (n = 100; aged 39 ± 9 years) participating in a 12- to 15-week weight loss program targeting an energy deficit of 500–700 kcal/day were included in this study. Satiety responsiveness was determined by a median split of the mean satiety quotient based on appetite sensations measured in response to a test meal at baseline (low satiety responsiveness (LSR) vs. high satiety responsiveness (HSR)). Anthropometric variables, eating behavior traits, psychobehavioral factors, and ad libitum energy intake were assessed before and after the intervention. Although similar weight loss was observed between the LSR and HSR groups (−3.5 ± 3.2 vs. –3.8 ± 2.8 kg, p = 0.64) in response to an energy-restricted weight loss intervention, changes in eating behavior traits were different between groups. Individuals with LSR had a higher increase in cognitive restraint (+5.5 ± 4.1 vs. +3.5 ± 3.5, p = 0.02) and some of its subscales and a lower decrease in situational susceptibility to disinhibition (−0.6 ± 1.1 vs. −1.2 ± 1.3, p = 0.02) in response to the intervention compared to the HSR group. In conclusion, energy-restricted weight loss intervention seems to trigger undesirable changes in some eating behavior traits in individuals more vulnerable to overeating, which could increase their susceptibility to weight regain.

Night-eating symptoms and 2-year weight change in parents enrolled in the QUALITY cohort

Abstract: Certain night-eating symptoms may predict measures of weight gain in adults but the effects seem small and the findings need to be confirmed in more symptomatic samples.
