University students have dietary habits such as irregular eating habits, night eating habits (NEHs), and alcohol drinking, which can lead to nutritional problems. Especially, NEHs may increase the risk of chronic diseases and reduce the health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The purpose of this study was to investigate associations between NEHs and HRQoL and to evaluate if their associations may differ according to gender. Data were obtained from Eulji University March-April 2018. Participants were recruited via advertisements in school. The questionnaire, including socio-demographic factors, dietary and NEHs, and HRQoL was self-administered by participants. We found that, in males, when subjects with night eating frequency ≥1 time/week, the HRQoL showed a tendency to deteriorate compared to those with night eating frequency <1 time/week. In females, when the subject answered that they consumed a lot of night meal intake, their HRQoL was significantly deteriorated compared to those who answered that they consumed a moderate or small. Therefore, we confirmed that there is a slight difference in the factors of NEHs that affect the HRQoL by gender.
大学生有诸如饮食习惯不规律、夜间饮食习惯（NEHs）和饮酒等饮食习惯，这些可能会导致营养问题。特别是，夜间饮食习惯可能会增加患慢性病的风险，并降低与健康相关的生活质量（HRQoL）。本研究的目的是调查夜间饮食习惯与健康相关生活质量之间的关联，并评估它们的关联是否因性别而异。数据来自2018年3月至4月的乙支大学。参与者通过学校的广告招募。问卷包括社会人口学因素、饮食和夜间饮食习惯以及健康相关生活质量，由参与者自行填写。我们发现，在男性中，夜间进食频率≥每周1次的受试者与夜间进食频率<每周1次的受试者相比，健康相关生活质量有恶化的趋势。在女性中，当受试者回答他们晚餐摄入量很大时，与回答摄入量适中或较少的受试者相比，她们的健康相关生活质量显著恶化。因此，我们证实，影响健康相关生活质量的夜间饮食习惯因素在性别上存在细微差异。
