AB - Objective: To examine the frequency of night eating (NE) and its relation to binge eating disorder (BED), eating‐disorder psychopathology, depression, and metabolic variables in treatment‐seeking obese Hispanic men and women. Method: A consecutive series of 79 obese monolingual Spanish‐speaking‐only Hispanic patients with BED (N = 40) and without BED (N = 39) were reliably assessed by bilingual research‐clinicians using Spanish‐language versions of semistructured interviews and measures. Results: Overall, 38% (N = 30) of the 79 patients reported regular NE (≥4 days/month). NE and BED were significantly associated; 70% (21/30) of NE versus 18% (9/49) of non‐NE had BED. Patients with NE reported greater frequency of binge‐eating and higher levels of eating‐disorder psychopathology and depression than non‐NE patients; group differences in eating disorder psychopathology and depression levels persisted after controlling for BED status. The NE and non‐NE groups did not differ significantly in BMI or metabolic variables. Discussion: In obese treatment‐seeking Hispanic patients, NE and BED were significantly associated and NE was associated with heightened eating‐disorder psychopathology and depression even after controlling for BED status. © 2012 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
