Evening persons may have a higher risk of suffering from heart disease and type 2 diabetes than early risers. A review of recent epidemiologic research on chronotype, its determinants, and its association with dietary intake and cardiometabolic health published online Nov. 30, 2018 in Advances in Nutrition demonstrated that evening chronotype is associated with lower intake of fruits and vegetables and higher intake of energy drinks, alcoholic, sugary, and caffeinated beverages and higher energy intake from fat. Evening chronotype was also associated with irregular eating, and meal skipping, particularly breakfast skipping.
