Eat early, kids
Compared with eating between 7 and 8 am, a first meal between 8 and 10 am was associated with a 10 percent higher risk of death from any cause. The difference rose to 19 percent between 10 am and noon, and 29 percent after noon.
Cardiovascular mortality followed a similar trajectory.
Eating for the first time after noon was associated with a 46 percent higher risk of cardiovascular death than eating between 7 and 8 am. At age 50, the later group also had an estimated life expectancy 2.46 years shorter on average.
Me reading this while eating breakfast at 12:01PM.
