In ~3k older adults followed for decades, we found that changes towards later breakfast was linked to health problems (depression, fatigue & oral) and a modestly higher risk of death. @CommsMedicine @MGBResearchNews Press: massgeneralbrigham.org/en/about/newsr… Paper: nature.com/articles/s4385…

Meal timing in later life may matter for health and longevity found in new paper. “Meal timing trajectories in older adults and their associations with morbidity, genetic profiles, and mortality” nature.com/articles/s4385…

Meal timing in later life may matter for health and longevity Researchers found that as older adults age, they tend to eat breakfast and dinner at later times, while also narrowing the overall time window in which they eat each day. Later breakfast time was consistently associated with having physical and mental health conditions such as depression, fatigue and oral health problems. Difficulty with meal preparation and worse sleep were also linked with later mealtimes. Notably, later breakfast timing was associated with an increased risk of death during follow-up. Individuals genetically predisposed to characteristics associated with being a “night owl” (preferring later sleep and wake times) tended to eat meals at later times. Source in comments.

@totocarbone @Siam_Ahmed_16 Congratulations to you both!

Very proud to see my PhD student now starting his own lab as an Assistant Professor. Best of luck, many successes to come @Siam_Ahmed_16 !

The findings of this one suggest that early meal timing may help in weight loss maintenance in the long term, and that it may also mitigate the increased risk of obesity by genotype.

Early meal timing is associated with improved long-term weight-loss maintenance and may offset the impact of genetic risk factors for #Obesity, highlighting the role of circadian alignment in metabolism. doi.org/g9v66k medicalxpress.com/news/2025-08-e…
