Prospective association between late evening food consumption and risk of prediabetes and diabetes: the Whitehall II cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

We examined whether late evening food consumption was prospectively associated with the risk of developing prediabetes or diabetes in a large observational study of individuals with normoglycaemia.

Methods

Participants were 2642 men and women with normoglycaemia (HbA_1c < 39 mmol/mol; < 5.7%) from the Whitehall II study. Time of last eating episode (TLEE) before the examination day was assessed at baseline. We studied the associations of TLEE with 5-year changes in HbA_1c and risk of developing prediabetes or diabetes (HbA_1c ≥ 39 mmol/mol; ≥ 5.7%). Potential heterogeneity in the association between TLEE and prediabetes or diabetes was examined using recursive partitioning modelling for time-to-event outcomes.
