- Research question
- Comer emocional e desinibição podem ajudar a explicar a associação entre sono inadequado e obesidade?
- Qualified findings
- A revisão identifica associações de sono inadequado com comer emocional e desinibição, com destaque para mulheres. Os autores propõem esses comportamentos como possíveis elos na relação sono–obesidade; a síntese não estabelece mediação causal universal nem eficácia de uma intervenção específica.
