Titled “Associations Between Chronotype, Mindful Eating, and Depression, Anxiety and Stress in Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study in Türkiye”, the research thoroughly examined the associations between chronotype (morning, evening, or intermediate types), depression, anxiety, stress levels, and mindful eating behaviors.
According to the findings, 46% of participants were identified as intermediate type, 46% as evening type, and only 8% as morning type. Individuals with an evening chronotype were found to have significantly higher levels of depression, stress, and anxiety, whereas morning-type individuals exhibited greater mindful eating behavior.
The study further revealed that these associations remained valid regardless of gender, body weight, or educational status. The results highlight the potential benefits of tailored counseling and awareness programs based on individuals' biological rhythms to improve mental health and promote healthy eating habits.
We congratulate Assoc. Prof. Dr. H. Merve Bayram for this valuable scientific contribution and wish her continued success.
