Objective: It is believed that biological, psychological, and social changes in adolescents can significantly influence health habits, including nutrition and sleep. This study aimed to examine the relationships between chronotype characteristics, emotional eating behaviours, sleep quality, and obesity among adolescents. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at a private physiotherapy clinic in Türkiye. After obtaining consent from the participants and their parents, a socio-demographic questionnaire, the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire, Emotional Eating Scale for Children and Adolescents, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and anthropometric measurements were administered. Results: The data obtained from one hundred adolescents were evaluated and it was found that 85% of the adolescents had poor sleep quality. It was found that adolescents with evening chronotype exhibited more emotional eating behaviours compared to morning and middle chronotypes (p=0.041). Depression-related eating behaviour and restlessness-related eating behaviour were significantly higher in adolescents with evening chronotype (p=0.046, p=0.002, respectively). A weak negative correlation was found between participants' chronotype score and restless eating behaviour (r=-0.238, p=0.017). Chronotype score and PSQI were significantly higher in females (p=0.026). Emotional eating behaviours and poor sleep quality were not associated with obesity risk (p>0.05). Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of considering chronotype characteristics in health interventions. Developing individualized preventive strategies and interventions, particularly for adolescents with an evening-type chronotype, may improve health outcomes.

Amaç: Adölesanlarda yaşanan biyolojik, psikolojik ve sosyal değişimlerin beslenme ve uyku gibi sağlık alışkanlıklarını önemli ölçüde etkileyebileceği düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, adölesanlarda kronotip özelliklerinin duygusal yeme davranışları, uyku kalitesi ve obezite ile ilişkisini incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma, Türkiye'de özel bir fizyoterapi kliniğinde kesitsel olarak yürütülmüştür. Katılımcılardan ve ebeveynlerinden onay alındıktan sonra sosyodemografik anket, Sabahçılık-Akşamcılık Ölçeği, Çocuklar ve Ergenler İçin Duygusal Yeme Ölçeği, Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi [Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)] ve antropometrik ölçümler yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Yüz adölesandan elde edilen veriler değerlendirilmiş ve adölesanların %85'inin uyku kalitesinin düşük olduğu bulunmuştur. Akşam kronotipine sahip ergenlerin, sabah ve orta kronotiplere kıyasla daha fazla duygusal yeme davranışı sergilediği bulunmuştur (p=0,041). Depresyonla ilişkili yeme davranışı ve huzursuzlukla ilişkili yeme davranışı akşam kronotipindeki ergenlerde anlamlı derecede yüksek bulunmuştur (sırasıyla p=0,046, p=0,002). Katılımcıların kronotip puanı ile huzursuz yeme davranışı arasında zayıf bir negatif korelasyon bulunmuştur (r=-0,238, p=0,017). Kronotip skoru ve PSQI kadınlarda anlamlı olarak daha yüksek bulunmuştur (p=0,026). Duygusal yeme davranışları ve kötü uyku kalitesi obezite riski ile ilişkili bulunmamıştır (p>0,05). Sonuç: Bu çalışma, sağlık müdahalelerinde kronotip özelliklerinin dikkate alınması gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır. Böylece, özellikle akşam tipi kronotipe sahip adölesanlar için bireyselleştirilmiş önleyici stratejilerin ve müdahalelerin geliştirilmesi sağlık sonuçlarını iyileştirebilir.
