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. © 2024 by Türkiye Klinikleri.
