Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Currently, a new scientific direction at the intersection of scientific disciplines—chronobiology and nutrition science—is actively developing, and an extensive amount of information has been accumulated on individual aspects of chrononutrition. Some practical recommendations to prevent disorders of the circadian system and eating behaviors based on the principles of chrononutrition have been obtained.

This Special Issue is devoted to the broad topic of research on the chronobiological aspects of eating behavior and nutrition. Particular attention is paid to the mechanisms of development, mutual influence, and prevention of dysfunctions of the circadian system, eating behaviors, and nutrition. One of the main objectives of this Special Issue is to reflect the current trends in the development of this discipline, focus on unresolved problems, formulate the most promising directions for its further development, and thus draw the attention of specialists from different fields of knowledge to this topical problem. Another objective of the Special Issue is to formalize the knowledge accumulated to date in chrononutrition and, based on this analysis, to search for practical applications of the principles of chrononutrition in everyday life.

Food is an important source of melatonin (MT), which belongs to a group known as chronobiotics, a class of substances that affect the circadian system. Currently, no studies have been conducted on how the consumption of foods containing MT (FMT) is associated with indicators characterizing the human circadian system. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that FMT consumption is associated with chronotype and social jetlag. A total of 1277 schoolchildren and university students aged M (SD) 19.9 (4.1) years (range: 16–25 years; girls: 72.8%) participated in a cross-sectional study. Each participant completed an online questionnaire with their personal data (sex, age, height, weight, waist circumference, and academic performance) and a sequence of tests to assess their sleep–wake rhythm (the Munich Chronotype Questionnaire), sleep quality (the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), and depression level (the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale). Study participants also completed a modified food frequency questionnaire that only included foods containing MT (FMT). They were asked how many foods containing MT (FMT) they had eaten for dinner, constituting their daily serving, in the past month. The consumption of foods containing MT (FMT) during the day (FMTday) and at dinner (FMTdinner) was assessed using this test. Multiple regression analyses were performed to assess the association between the studied indicators. We found that higher FMTday values were associated with early chronotype (β = −0.09) and less social jetlag (β = −0.07), better sleep quality (β = −0.06) and lower levels of depression (β = −0.11), as well as central adiposity (β = −0.08). Higher FMTdinner values were associated with a lower risk of central adiposity (β = −0.08). In conclusion, the data obtained confirm the hypothesis that the consumption of foods containing MT (FMT) is associated with chronotype and social jetlag in adolescents and young adults. Full article

College students’ social and eating jet lags and chronotypes may be related to irregular eating habits. Therefore, we examined the relationship between social and eating jet lags, chronotypes, variability in first and last mealtimes, and non-eating duration, as well as the effects of snacking between dinner and bedtime on social and eating jet lags, chronotypes, and mealtime variation. A total of 1900 Japanese male college students were recruited in this study. Mean wake-up time, bedtime, sleeping time, first and last mealtimes, snacks between meals, non-eating duration, the midpoint of non-eating duration, social and eating jet lags, and chronotype were calculated. Standard deviations in first and last mealtimes, the midpoint of non-eating duration, and the coefficient of variation in non-eating duration were used to evaluate mealtime variations. Mealtime variations were significantly associated with social and eating jet lags, chronotype, the midpoint of non-eating duration, and the difference in first and last mealtime between school holidays and class days. Chronotype and the midpoint of non-eating duration were significantly delayed with increased snacking after dinner. Mealtime variations were significantly lower in those who avoided snacking than in those who did not. Thus, social and eating jet lags and chronotypes are associated with sleep habits and mealtime irregularities. Full article
