Associations between circadian disruption and cardiometabolic disease risk: A review

The disruption of human circadian rhythms can lead to adverse health outcomes and has been linked to various conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and diabetes. A recent study reviewed the impact of five factors that may disrupt circadian rhythms - shift work, late chronotype, late sleep timing, sleep irregularity, and late meal timing - and found evidence that they may have a detrimental effect on cardiometabolic health. The study highlights the need for further research to understand the specific pathways causing these health issues and to manage environmental cues and behaviors that influence circadian rhythms for optimal health.
