Abstract
ABSTRACT This study aimed to examine the nutritional status of healthcare professionals with different chronotypes and to determine their diet quality. Of the health care professionals (n = 204), 10.3% were morning chronotype (n = 21), 14.2% were evening chronotype (n = 29) and 75.5% were intermediate chronotype profiles (n = 154). Daily carbohydrate intake was significantly higher in the evening chronotype participants than was that in the morning and intermediate chronotype participants (p < 0.05). Daily intake of total fat, saturated fat, monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), and sodium in all the participants was above the population-specific recommended values, and saturated fat intake was highest in the evening chronotype participants. Nutritional status (except carbohydrate and potassium) and diet quality of healthcare professionals participating in the present study did not differ according to their chronotypes. Their diet quality was not good and their energy and nutrient intakes were below the requirements.
期刊介绍:
The principal aim of Biological Rhythm Research is to cover any aspect of research into the broad topic of biological rhythms. The area covered can range from studies at the genetic or molecular level to those of behavioural or clinical topics. It can also include ultradian, circadian, infradian or annual rhythms. In this way, the Editorial Board tries to stimulate interdisciplinary rhythm research. Such an aim reflects not only the similarity of the methods used in different fields of chronobiology, but also the fact that many influences that exert controlling or masking effects are common. Amongst the controlling factors, attention is paid to the effects of climate change on living organisms. So, papers dealing with biometeorological aspects can also be submitted.
The Journal publishes original scientific research papers, review papers, short notes on research in progress, book reviews and summaries of activities, symposia and congresses of national and international organizations dealing with rhythmic phenomena.
