Why evening-types accumulate health issues and die younger than others?
Individuals differ in daily timing of sleep–wake behavior, alertness, body temperature, cardiovascular functions and hormonal secretion, having innately different circadian types from morningness to eveningness. Evening-types show poorer health already since childhood with increasing severity of health issues at adulthood with major impact on performance/wellbeing and health care burden. However, it is largely unknown WHY health issues accumulate to evening-types. It is likely that underlying factors for health differences between circadian types include interplay between biological, behavioral and environmental factors. Project uses large population-based longitudinal and cross-sectional…
