Home-based dim light melatonin onset assessment among adults with obesity: feasibility and procedural considerations
Home-based assessment yielded a high rate of detectable DLMO in women with obesity. Diurnal preference was not correlated with central circadian phase, suggesting that other factors (e.g. behavioral, sociodemographic) may be relevant in chronotype assessment in this population. We offer implications for future research including procedural variations to consider.
