Physical activity and meal timing alignment with chronotype and their associations with glucose metabolism: The Maastricht Study
Weekday, but not weekend, alignment of physical activity and meal timing with chronotype was modestly associated with more favourable glucose metabolism. These findings suggest a potential role of behaviour-chronotype alignment in metabolic health, warranting confirmation in prospective and intervention studies.
