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.
