Chrononutrition (i.e., circadian timing of food intake) has been linked to indicators of health status such as body weight and insulin resistance. A measure of general chrononutrition patterns, the Chrononutrition Profile - Questionnaire, has been developed and preliminary evidence of validity and reliability of the measure has been documented in a homogenous group of undergraduates. However, this measure has not yet been validated in an online, community-based sample. The present study therefore aimed to evaluate the validity of the Chrononutrition Profile - Questionnaire in a web-based community sample. Analyses suggested that the Chrononutrition Profile - Questionnaire displays acceptable validity for use in diverse community samples of adults, with moderate to strong correlations (r = 0.39-0.91) between the Chrononutrition Profile - Questionnaire and measures of dietary intake and sleep. This measure is suitable for use in a variety of settings, by stakeholders and scientists, and may contribute to future development of health behavior interventions and research programs centered around chrononutrition.

Current lifestyles include calorie-dense diets and late-night food intake, which can lead to circadian misalignment. Our group recently demonstrated that sweet treats before bedtime alter the clock system in healthy rats, increasing metabolic risk factors. Therefore, we aimed to assess the impact of the sweet treat consumption time on the clock system in rats fed a cafeteria diet (CAF).

Background: Circadian eating patterns and chrono-nutrition may influence obesity and disease incidence. Thus, this study aimed to assess the mediating role of obesity in the relationship between meal-specific dietary patterns (DPs), chrono-nutritional components, and cardiometabolic risk using structural equation modeling (SEM).
Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 825 Iranian adults was conducted.

Obesity is a chronic, complex and multi-factorial condition with an increasing prevalence worldwide. Irregular eating schedules might be a contributing factor to these numbers through the dysregulation of the circadian system. Time-restricted eating (TRE), an approach that limits eating windows, has been studied as a strategy to treat obesity, aligning eating occasions with metabolic circadian rhythms.

Chrono-nutrition is an emerging field that examines how the frequency and timing of meals impact health. Previous research shows inconsistency in the relationship between chrono-nutritional components and cardiometabolic health. We investigated cross-sectional associations between these components and cardiometabolic health in 825 Iranian adults aged 20-59 years.

Background/objectives: Sleep health has been associated with diet quality, but the relationship between chrononutrition patterns and multidimensional sleep health is unclear. This study identifies chrononutrition patterns among U.S.
