This study analyzed the association between night snack intake, nutrient intake, and obesity-related indicators in 5,466 adults based on data from the 9th (2023) National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). Among the subjects, 46.3% consumed night snacks. Night snack intake significantly varied by gender, age, household income, educational background, and drinking habits, with a higher proportion found in young adults. Total daily energy intake was higher among night snack consumers, as were protein, carbohydrate, and sugar intakes. However, fat-related nutrients did not show any significant differences after adjustment. There were no significant differences between night snack consumers and non-consumers in BMI, body fat percentage, or waist circumference after adjustment. Logistic regression (Model 3), which adjusted for age, sex, and total energy intake, also indicated no significant differences in the risk of obesity or abdominal obesity between night snack consumers and non-consumers. Among night snack consumers, analysis of night snack energy intake and its contribution to total energy intake, comparing obesity group and non-obesity group, showed no significant differences. The results of this study suggest that night snack intake is associated with energy, carbohydrate and sugar intake, but no clear association with obesity or abdominal obesity was confirmed.
