Eating a late breakfast? Warning it could be linked to dying sooner
Eating breakfast later could be linked to underlying health issues
- Research indicates that older adults who consume breakfast later in the day may face a higher risk of earlier mortality.
- A study involving nearly 3,000 UK adults found that each hour breakfast was delayed was associated with a 10 percent higher risk of death.
- The findings highlight an association rather than direct causation, suggesting that later breakfast times could signal underlying health issues or lifestyle patterns.
- Delayed breakfast was also linked to various physical and psychological conditions, including fatigue, oral health problems, depression, and anxiety.
- Dr Hassan Dashti, who led the research, proposed that the timing of meals could serve as an early indicator of an individual's overall health status.
