Study links late breakfast to higher risk of early death
A recent study finds that eating breakfast after noon may increase the risk of early death, particularly among adults over 40.
A new study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition reveals a potential link between consuming breakfast after midday and an increased risk of early death, particularly for adults over the age of 40. The research suggests that timing and quality of meals may significantly impact overall health. According to the findings, individuals who ate breakfast after 12 p.m. had a 29% higher chance of premature death compared to those who had breakfast earlier in the day.
The study also noted that those who delayed breakfast faced a 46% higher risk of cardiovascular-related deaths and experienced a shorter life expectancy, losing approximately 2.5 years of life expectancy for those over 50. Despite the correlation found between meal timing and mortality risk, the study's authors clarified that this does not establish a direct cause-and-effect relationship.
They stressed the importance of meal timing as a factor that could be modified to enhance public health outcomes.
