Abstract

Chronotype and temperament may influence adherence to an eco-sustainable diet.

  • Chronotype refers to an individual's natural preference for morning or evening activities.
  • Temperament encompasses stable personality traits that can affect lifestyle choices.
  • An eco-sustainable diet is defined by a high intake of plant-based foods and lower consumption of animal products.
  • Understanding the relationship between these traits and dietary habits could inform strategies for promoting sustainable eating.
