Association between chronotype and diet in adolescents based on food logs
Abstract
Recent research revealed an association between chronotype and psychological constructs of eating behaviour. Here, we used food logs in adolescents and assessed their chronotype. We found that later bed and rise times were associated with the tendency to drink caffeinated drinks and eat fast food and to consume less dairy products. No relationship existed between chronotype and sweets, vegetables and salad, and meat consumption. These results suggest a healthier lifestyle in morning oriented adolescents (or late chronotypes). Breakfast times differed between weekdays and weekend while lunch and dinner times were similar. Mean breakfast time at the weekend was later in late chronotypes which was a result of later rise times of late chronotypes. The study showed that morning oriented pupils exhibit a healthier and more regular lifestyle.

Individuals with a morning chronotype exhibit more regular eating behavior than individuals with an evening chronotype.
“Besides dietary intake, studies suggest that individuals with a morning chronotype exhibit more regular eating behavior than individuals with an evening chronotype (83, 85).”

Later bed- and rise times are associated with increased likelihood of caffeinated drink and fast-food consumption and lower likelihood of dairy product consumption in a small-scale cross-sectional survey of adolescents.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
