Abstract
This cross-sectional study examined the relationship between chronotypes and arterial stiffness in middle-aged and older adults.
- Chronotypes refer to individual differences in circadian rhythms, influencing sleep and activity patterns.
- Arterial stiffness is a measure of cardiovascular health, indicating how flexible arteries are.
- Cardiorespiratory fitness may influence the strength of the connection between chronotypes and arterial stiffness.
- Understanding this relationship could provide insights into cardiovascular risk factors associated with different sleep patterns.
