Description
Lingfang Wang and co-authors study, in a 2026 paper, how meal timing links to heart and vessel disease among older adults in China. Direct proof on when people eat, not just what they eat, has been thin. The team interviewed 1,386 community dwelling adults aged sixty and older, across regions of varied wealth, from 2021 to 2025.
They recorded the times of breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus wake and bed times. From those, they computed four measures, such as the gap from waking to breakfast and the total eating window. A profiling method sorted people into shared eating patterns. Disease status came from questionnaires checked against medical records. Among 1,305 eligible adults, about fifteen percent had the disease. Breakfast timing stood out in the comparisons, with later breakfast tied to higher rates.
