According to , cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. global burden of disease According to research, there were 18.6 million deaths in 2019, and about 7.9 of them were caused by diet. This means that diet plays a major role in the development and progression of these diseases. The modern lifestyle of Western society has led to certain eating habits, such as eating dinner late and skipping breakfast. In addition to light, the daily cycle of food intake (meals, snacks, etc.), alternating with periods of fasting, synchronizes the peripheral clocks, or circadian rhythms, of different organs of the body, resulting in mechanisms such as blood pressure regulation. Affects cardiometabolic function. Chrononutrition is emerging as an important new field for understanding the relationship between food intake timing, circadian rhythms, and health.
The results showed that eating your first meal later in the day (like skipping breakfast) was associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, with each time delay increasing your risk by 6%. For example, people who eat their first meal at 9 a.m. are 6% more likely to develop cardiovascular disease than those who eat at 8 a.m. When it comes to the last meal of the day, eating late (after 9pm) is relevant. Especially for women, eating before 8pm increases the risk of cerebrovascular disease, including stroke, by 28%. Finally, a longer period of overnight fasting (the time between the last meal of the day and the first meal of the next day) is associated with a lower risk of cerebrovascular disease, suggesting that eating your first and last meals sooner is supported. within the same day.
These findings should be replicated in other cohorts or through additional scientific studies with different designs and highlight the potential role of meal timing in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. They suggest that increasing the period of overnight fasting and getting into the habit of eating your first and last meals earlier may help prevent cardiovascular disease risk.
of Nutrinet Sante This study is a public health study coordinated by the Nutritional Epidemiology Research Team (EREN-CRESS, Inserm/INRAE/Cnam/Sorbonne Université Paris-Nord/Université Parisité) and is a public health study that acknowledges the dedication and support of over 175,000 study participants. Thanks to this, research is progressing. Research on the relationship between nutrition (diet, physical activity, nutritional status) and health. This research began in his 2009 and has already resulted in over 270 international scientific publications. We are still recruiting new study participants living in France We will continue to research the relationship between nutrition and health.
Spend a few minutes a month etude-nutrinet-sante.fr Using a secure online platform, participants will deepen their knowledge about the relationship between diet and health.
