“…Participants of the experiment were recruited from two first year natural science classes of a high school situated in central Stockholm. The recruitment took place in Feb 2015, as part of a bigger trial organised in the school through the EU project SPLENDID [ 37 ], with the same student sample participating in behaviourally monitored lunch sessions earlier during the test days [ 36 ]. A total of 41 out of 53 notified students agreed to participate in the experiment, providing written assent forms for themselves and written consent forms from their legal guardians.…”

“…Two days prior to the testing the weight and height of the participants were measured by researchers. During the testing days, three hours before the initiation of the experimental sessions, the students participated in behaviourally monitored (but otherwise unhindered) school lunches with access to identical types of food, in a buffet setting, following the common school practises [ 36 ].…”

“…Similarly, the comfortability question was used to evaluate the acceptance of the research methodology by the target group of students. While not formally standardised, similar questions have been used in past research, both in controlled and naturalistic settings, in similarly-aged or older populations ([ 36 , 43 ]).…”

“…Similar methods have also been adopted very successfully in clinical settings for the treatment of eating disorders [ 33 ] and obesity [ 34 ]. Furthermore, past methodologies of temporal parallel analysis of weight-loss and video data used in the lab to fully describe single meals [ 35 ], have recently been adapted to the naturalistic analysis of adolescent eating behaviour during school lunches [ 36 ]. Similar techniques can now be reliably used to further analyse eating behaviour changes due to external food cue manipulations, such as food proximity.…”

Close food proximity leads to increased short-term energy intake, potentially contributing to the long-term development of obesity. However, its precise effects on eating behaviour are still unclear, especially with food available for extended periods of time. This study involved two similar high school student groups (15–17 years old), which had ad libitum access to grapes, chocolates and crackers during an hour-long experimental session. In the distal condition the foods were placed 6 meters away from the students (n = 24), in contrast to the proximal condition (n = 17) were the food was placed near the students. The identification of the type and the quantification of the amount of each food selected, for each individual serving, was facilitated through use of food scales and video recording. In the proximal condition individuals served themselves grapes and crackers more often and consumed more chocolate than in the distal condition. In total, participants in the proximal condition ingested significantly more energy (726 kcal vs. 504 kcal; p = 0.029), without reporting higher fullness. Food proximity also affected the temporal distribution of servings, with the first five minutes of the sessions corresponding to 53.1% and 45.6% of the total energy intake for the distal and proximal conditions, respectively. After the first five minutes, the servings in the distal condition were strongly clustered in time, with many students getting food together. In the proximal condition however, students displayed an unstructured pattern of servings over time. In conclusion, this study strengthens past evidence regarding the important role of food proximity on individual energy intake and, for the first time, it associates continuous food proximity to the emergence of unstructured eating over time. These conclusions, expanded upon by future studies, could support the creation of meaningful intervention strategies based on spatially and temporally controlled food availability.

“…Üniversitede öğrenim gören öğrencilerin yaşam alanlarının değişmesi, farklı beslenme kültürleri ile karşılaşması gibi nedenlerle beslenme düzenleri çoğunlukla değişmektedir. Bu değişim üniversite öğrencilerinin yanlış beslenme alışkanlıkları edinmesine bazı besinleri sıklıkla tüketirken bazılarını tüketmemesine ve bazı besinlere bağımlılık geliştirmesine yol açabilmektedir (Langet et al, 2017). Bu nedenle bu çalışmada besin bağımlılığı ve gece yeme sendromunun üniversite öğrencilerinde yaygınlığını belirlemek amaçlanmıştır.…”

ÖZETAmaç: Bir kişinin aşırı duyarlı olduğu bir veya daha fazla düzenli olarak tüketilen besinlere spesifik bir adaptasyon olması durumu besin bağımlılığı olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Gece Yeme Sendromu ise obez kişilerin klinik gözlemlerine dayanılarak, sabah anoreksisi, akşam hiperfajisi ve uykusuzluk ile karakterize bir hastalık olarak tanımlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada genç yaş gruplarında daha yaygın olarak gözlenen besin bağımlılığı ve gece yeme sendromunun üniversite öğrencilerinde yaygınlığını belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Çalışma, Ankara'da yaşayan ve çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 639 kız ve 280 erkek toplam 919 üniversite öğrencisi ile yürütülmüştür. Öğrencilere Gece Yeme Anketi ve Yale Besin Bağımlılığı Ölçeğini içeren bir anket ugulanmıştır. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin %91,0'ında besin bağımlılığı yoktur. Besin bağımlılığı olan öğrencilerin oranı ise %9,0'dır. Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin sadece %2,0'ı gece yeme sendromu tanı kriterlerini karşılamaktadır. Gece yeme sendromu olan öğrencilerin %10,5'inde, gece yeme sendromu olmayan öğrencilerin ise %9,0'ında besin bağımlılığı olduğu saptanmıştır (p>0,05). Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, gece yeme sendromu ile besin bağımlılığı birbirinden farklı yeme bozukluklarıdır. Fakat bu iki yeme bozukluğunun birbiri ile ilişkisinin açıklandığı çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.Anahtar kelimeler: Besin bağımlılığı, Gece yeme sendromu, Üniversite öğrencisi Assessment of Food Addiction and Night Eating Syndrome in University StudentsLiving in Ankara ABSTRACT Objective: Food addiction is defined as the specific sensitivity of one person to one or more regularly consumed foods. Night eating syndrome is defined as a disease characterized by morning anorexia, evening hyperphagia and insomnia based on clinical observations of obese people. In this study, it was aimed to determine the prevalence of food addiction and night eating syndrome in university students more commonly observed in young age groups. Method: The study was conducted with 639 female and 280 male total 919 university students living in Ankara and accepting to participate in the study. A questionnaire including the Nutrition Eating Questionnaire and the Yale Food Addiction Scale was administered to the students. Results: 91,0% of the undergraduates had no food addiction. The proportion of undergraduate with food addiction is 9,0%. Only 2,0% of undergraduates participating in the study have meet the diagnostic criteria for night eating syndrome. Food addiction was found in 10,5% of undergraduates with night-eating syndrome and also 9,0% of individuals without night-eating syndrome (p> 0,05). Conclusion: As a result, night eating syndrome and food addiction are different eating disorders. But there is a need for studies on the relationship between these two eating disorders.
