Eating dinner after 9pm may increase the risk of stroke by 28%

Utilising data from the NutriNet-Sante study with over 100,000 adults, the research identifies key factors linked to meal timings. Younger individuals, smokers, and those with later meal timings show higher CVD risk. The study unfolds over a 7-year period, revealing a correlation between late first meals and an increased risk of CVD. The study underscores the significance of meal timing, showing that the later the first meal, the higher the risk of CVD. Notably, eating after 9 pm increases the risk by 13%. Cerebrovascular disease risk rises by 8% with each hour delay in the last meal, reaching a peak of 28% after 9 pm. Increased nighttime fasting is linked to a 7% reduction in cerebrovascular disease risk.
