Emotional Eating, Sleep Quality, Mental State and Metabolic Syndrome
The Mediating Role of Emotional Eating and Sleep Quality in the Relationship Between Mental State and Metabolic Syndrome in Individuals With Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 27 Jul 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
In predominantly medication-naïve schizophrenic patients, those exhibiting partial metabolic disorders have significantly worse sleep quality and sleep onset time; poor sleep predicted metabolic dysregulation even after controlling for confounding factors. Mental health, sleep, and eating behavior interact in ways that strongly influence the risk of obesity and MetS. Emotional eating (eating in response to emotions rather than hunger) is central to this network and appears to be closely associated with psychiatric illnesses, particularly depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders. There is a continuing need to elucidate the frequency, level, and relationship of emotional eating with other factors in individuals with SMI. Therefore, this study aims to elucidate this complex relationship, thereby shedding light on new ways to reduce metabolic risks in psychiatric patients.
