Evening preference and risk of disability pensions over 12 years in middle-aged adults

Evening chronotypes (E) may be linked to a higher incidence of disability pensions (DPs) over a 12-year period.

• Chronotype refers to an individual's natural preference for morning or evening activities.
• Previous findings suggest that evening chronotypes generally experience poorer health outcomes.
• The relationship between chronotype and disability pensions has not been well-studied.
• This study aims to assess whether being an evening chronotype at age 46 predicts the likelihood of receiving a disability pension.
