We tested if there were any differences about nocturnal and diurnal anxiety between patients either affected by Binge Eating Disorder (BED) or Night eating Syndrome (NES). Fifty four patients affected by BED, 13 by NES and 16 by both BED and NES were tested using the Self Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and the Sleep Disturbance Questionnaire (SDQ). Their nocturnal eating behavior was ascertained through the Night Eating Questionnaire (NEQ). Patients affected by both BED and NES scored significantly higher on SAS than other patients. Among NES patients we found a correlation between a SDQ subscale and two subscales of the NEQ. Among BED patients we found a correlation between SAS scores and the nocturnal ingestion subscale of the NEQ. Nocturnal eating is related to nocturnal anxiety among NES patients while it is related to diurnal anxiety among patients affected by BED. These findings support the hypothesis that BED and NES are distinct syndromes sharing overeating but with different pathways to excessive food intake.
我们测试了患有暴饮暴食症(BED)或夜间饮食综合征(NES)的患者在夜间和日间焦虑方面是否存在差异。使用自评焦虑量表(SAS)和睡眠障碍问卷(SDQ)对54名患有BED的患者、13名患有NES的患者以及16名同时患有BED和NES的患者进行了测试。通过夜间饮食问卷(NEQ)确定了他们的夜间进食行为。同时患有BED和NES的患者在SAS上的得分显著高于其他患者。在NES患者中,我们发现SDQ的一个子量表与NEQ的两个子量表之间存在相关性。在BED患者中,我们发现SAS得分与NEQ的夜间摄入子量表之间存在相关性。夜间进食与NES患者的夜间焦虑有关,而与BED患者的日间焦虑有关。这些发现支持了以下假设:BED和NES是不同的综合征,都存在暴饮暴食的情况,但导致过度进食的途径不同。
