Eating later in the day could be linked to obesity

New Delhi, Mar 25 (ANI): Those who eat later in the day should start having meals on time as the habit could contribute to weight gain, according to a new study. The study was presented at ENDO 2019, the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in New Orleans, LA. Previous studies have suggested that later timing of eating and sleeping are related to obesity, said lead author Adnin Zaman, MD, of the University of Colorado in Denver, Colo. However, few studies have assessed both meal and sleep timing in adults with obesity, and it is not clear whether eating later in the day is associated with shorter sleep duration or higher body fat, she said. The study used three types of technology to record participant’s sleep, physical activity and eating patterns. It has been challenging to apply sleep and circadian science to medicine due to a lack of methods for measuring daily patterns of human behaviour, she said. Later meal timing was associated with a higher body mass index as well as greater body fat.
