Associations of meal timing and sleep duration with incidence of obesity: a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Late mealtime and short sleep are known to be associated with obesity risk due to a misaligned circadian rhythm. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between obesity and mealtime and sleep duration using the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES) data.

Design

Longitudinally prospective cohort study.

Setting

Population-based.

Participants

KoGES analysed data from 9,474 Korean adults with an average age of 54- years old at baseline.

Measurements

Meal timing was defined as the eating occasions of the day reported by the participant eating a 24-h dietary recall method. Sleep duration was categorized as <6, 6-7, 7-8, and ≥8 h. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals
