Reliability estimates for assessing meal timing derived from longitudinal repeated 24-hour dietary recalls.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Regulating meal timing may have efficacy for improving metabolic health for preventing or managing chronic disease. However, the reliability of measuring meal timing with commonly used dietary assessment tools needs characterization prior to investigating meal timing and health outcomes in epidemiologic studies.

Objectives

To evaluate the reliability of estimating meal timing parameters, including overnight fasting duration, the midpoint of overnight fasting time, the number of daily eating episodes, the period with the largest percentage of daily caloric intake, and late last eating episode (> 09:00 pm) from repeated 24-h dietary recalls (24HRs).

Methods

Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), Light's Kappa estimates, and 95% CIs were calculated from re
