Objective: Nutrition is a complex behavior influenced by both homeostatic and non-homeostatic processes. Emotional and environmental triggers can affect non-homeostatic processes, leading to hedonistic, emotional, and night eating. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between hedonistic eating, emotional eating, and night eating syndrome in overweight and obese adults. Materials and Methods: A total of 562 overweight and obese adults participated in the study. The data were collected using a general information and anthropometric measurements form, the Hedonistic Eating Scale (HES), the Emotional Eater Questionnaire (EEQ), and the Night Eating Questionnaire (NEQ). Results: Results showed that 8.2% of participants had emotional eating syndrome, and 25.6% had night eating syndrome. Obese participants were found to have higher rates of emotional eating and night eating syndrome than overweight participants. There were positive correlations between EEQ with HES (r=0.468, p<0.001); NEQ with HES (r=0.231, p<0.001); NEQ with EEQ (r=0.416, p<0.001); BMI and EEQ (r=0.128, p<0.01). Also, emotional eating increases night eating syndrome risk by 9%, while hedonic eating increases by 2%. The progression from overweight to obese was increased by 5.7% for emotional eating and 3.3% for night eating. Conclusion: The results suggest that there are significant associations between eating behaviors in overweight and obese individuals. This study provides insights and a better understanding of factors that trigger overeating in overweight and obese individuals.
