Nutritional study on meal timing and cardiovascular risk

Overview

Research coordinated by Sorbonne University suggests that ‘food jet lag’—the discrepancy between weekday and weekend meal timings—may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Analyzing data from 104,806 participants in the NutriNet-Santé cohort, researchers categorized meal timing shifts into ‘advance’, ‘regular’, and ‘delay’ groups.

Follow-up details indicate that this risk is particularly pronounced in men. For male participants, every additional hour of ‘eating jetlag’ is associated with a 14 percent higher relative risk of cardiovascular disease and a 21 percent higher risk of coronary heart disease. While men who shifted meal windows forward by more than one hour on weekends faced higher risks, no statistically significant correlation was found for women. The findings suggest that maintaining consistent meal times helps align metabolic processes with the body's internal circadian rhythm.
