Summary

In this study, the investigators are trying to find out of the effect of nighttime eating on metabolism, cardiorenal, hormonal and circadian rhythm, and a study was conducted to examine the effects of diseases that are quite common in internal medicine practice, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, metabolic syndrome and sleep disorders.

Detailed description

The Coronavirus Disease (COVID)-19 pandemic, which emerged in recent years, has deeply affected living conditions and has had an impact on societies on eating habits. As shown by some studies, it has been shown that night sleep habits have changed and night nutrition and calorie intake have increased due to reasons related to staying at home, working remotely, and isolation during the pandemic period. However, some recent studies have shown a relationship between nighttime eating and conditions that predispose to metabolic syndrome, such as obesity and hyperglycemia. At the same time, prospective studies on the details of the cardiorenal and metabolic effects of night feeding behavior, which is one of the important predisposing factors for metabolic syndrome, are quite insufficient. Although the importance of nighttime eating habits has begun to be emphasized in recent years with recent randomized cross-controlled studies on this subject, there are not yet enough prospective studies on this subject. In this respect, studies on nighttime eating behavior, which is common in society, are important.In this study, a cross-over design study was conducted on the effectiveness of nighttime eating on metabolism, cardiorenal, hormonal and circadian rhythm, and a study was conducted to examine the effects of diseases that are quite common in internal medicine practice, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, metabolic syndrome and sleep disorders. The investigators aim to create a new and additional perspective on the management, treatment and follow-up of common diseases and to contribute to raising awareness about night nutrition.
