Relationship between circadian eating behavior (daily eating frequency and nighttime fasting duration) and cardiovascular mortality.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Knowledge regarding the health impacts of daily eating frequency (DEF) and nighttime fasting duration (NFD) on mortality is very limited.

Objective

This study aimed to examine whether DEF and NFD are associated with CVD and all-cause mortality.

Methods

This was a prospective cohort study of a nationally representative sample from the United States, including 30,464 adults who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2003-2014. Using 24-h dietary recall, DEF was assessed by the number of eating episodes, and NFD was calculated by the first and last eating time across a day. Death information was obtained from the National Death Index up to 2019. Weighted Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to assess survival relat
