Association of meal timing with adiposity measures and gut microbiome characteristics in a cohort study: the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos
Background
Time-restricted eating may help control weight through caloric restriction, circadian rhythm, or influence on the gut microbiome (GMB). Physical activity (PA) also plays a role, as people with a longer eating window (EW, time between first and last daily intake) may be more active. The associations between meal timing, adiposity, PA, sedentary behavior (SB), and GMB characteristics are of interest in Hispanic/Latino persons, who experience a high burden of cardiometabolic diseases.
Objectives
We explored the relationship of EW with energy intake and accelerometer-measured activity and assessed whether a longer EW and later midpoint of intake (MOI, midpoint time of intake) are associated with adiposity and GMB differences in Hispanic/Latino adults.
Methods
Using data from the prospective Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (n = 11,778 participants with valid 24-h dietary recall and accelerometer data, no unplanned weight loss, and BMI ≥ 18.5 kg/m2; n = 1925 with GMB data), we explored the relationship between EW, SB, and energy intake. We used multivariable linear regression models to study the relationship between EW or MOI and adiposity measures and GMB characteristics, adjusted for clinical, behavioral, and demographic characteristics.
Results
Those with longer EW tended to have less SB and greater energy intake, suggesting that some individuals may balance greater intake with greater expenditure. After adjustments including energy balance, each hour of EW was associated with 0.29% higher BMI (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.07, 0.51; P = 0.011). Longer EW and caloric EW (EWC, EW, caloric meals only) were associated with several obesity-associated GMB taxa, such as Streptococcus (enriched, β: 0.04; 95% CI: 0.01, 0.07, for EW). MOI was not significantly associated with adiposity or GMB characteristics.
Conclusions
Shorter EW may promote healthy weight, but some individuals with longer compared with shorter EWs tend to have greater activity that could balance their greater energy intake. EW and EWC may influence GMB characteristics.
