Impact of Modern Lifestyle on Circadian Health and Its Contribution to Adipogenesis and Cancer Risk.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent research underscores a crucial connection between circadian rhythm disruption and cancer promotion, highlighting an urgent need for attention.

Objectives

Explore the molecular mechanisms by which modern lifestyle factors-such as artificial light exposure, shift work, and dietary patterns-affect cortisol/melatonin regulation and cancer risk.

Methods

Employing a narrative review approach, we synthesized findings from Scopus, Google Scholar, and PubMed to analyze lifestyle impacts on circadian health, focusing on cortisol and melatonin chronobiology as molecular markers. We included studies that documented quantitative changes in these markers due to modern lifestyle habits, excluding those lacking quantitative data or presenting inconclusive results. S
