Abstract

Sleep duration and quality have declined over past decades, particularly in children.

  • Dietary patterns have shifted towards more irregular eating habits, including breakfast skipping and late-night eating.
  • Increased shift work and meals outside the home may contribute to these dietary changes.
  • Chrono-nutrition, which studies the timing of eating, combines nutritional research with biological rhythms.
  • There is a potential link between sleep, diet, and urbanization that could affect health outcomes.
  • More research is needed to clarify the role of chrono-nutrition in metabolic health and public health.
