Post-surgery BMI (kg/m²)	0.98	(0.92–1.05)	0.873
Gender (Female vs. Male)	2.33	(1.05–5.19)	0.030
Nationality (Saudi vs. Non-Saudi)	0.44	(0.16–1.18)	0.104
Type of bariatric procedure	2.61	(0.79–8.62)	0.115
Presence of chronic diseases	32.95	(2.33–64.44)	0.010
Specific chronic disease (Diabetes vs. Others)	2.63	(1.23–5.88)	0.013
Adherence to postoperative diet	1.04	(0.44–2.46)	0.918

Abbreviations OR: Odds Ratio; CI: Confidence Interval; BMI: Body Mass Index. Odds ratios greater than 1 suggest an increased probability of the Night Eating Syndrome. The analysis considers adjustments for all variables presented in the table. P-values below 0.05 denote statistical significance
