Habitual Night Eating Was Positively Associated With Progress of Arterial Stiffness in Chinese Adults.

ABSTRACT: Background Night eating has been associated with an elevated risk of obesity, dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular disease. However, there is no longitudinal study on whether habitual night eating, regardless of diet quality and energy intake, is associated with arterial stiffness, a major etiological factor in the development of cardiovascular disease.
