Night eating in timing, frequency, and food quality and risks of all-cause, cancer, and diabetes mortality: findings from national health and nutrition examination survey

P. Wang, Q. Tan, et al.

This study by Peng Wang and colleagues delves into the impact of night eating patterns on mortality risks, revealing that later timing and higher frequency of night eating can significantly increase all-cause and diabetes mortality. Interestingly, consuming low-energy-density foods earlier in the evening may counteract these risks.

Abstract
This study investigated the association between night eating (timing, frequency, and food quality) and mortality risks (all-cause, cancer, and diabetes). Using data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2002–2018), the study found that later timing and higher frequency of night eating were associated with increased all-cause and diabetes mortality. Night eating with high dietary energy density also increased mortality risks. However, eating before 23:00 or consuming low-energy-density foods during the night appeared to mitigate these risks.
