How eating at the wrong times may be linked to breast and prostate cancer risk

AI simplified

Abstract

Sleeping two more hours after supper is associated with a 20% reduction in breast and prostate cancer risk.

  • Subjects who had supper before 9 pm showed a similar reduction in cancer risk compared to those who ate after 10 pm.
  • A longer interval between the last meal and sleep may provide greater protection against cancer, particularly for those following cancer prevention guidelines.
  • Morning types experienced a more significant reduction in cancer risk with longer supper-sleep intervals.
  • Adherence to diurnal eating patterns is linked to lower risks of breast and prostate cancer.
