Late dinners and sautéed breakfasts linked to a higher bone disease risk

Specific eating behaviors have been linked to a surprising medical condition.

In addition to conventional risk factors, such as the lower body mass index and higher age, jumping breakfast and late dinner are independently associated with osteoporosis, according to a new study.

Researchers from the Nara medical university in Japan have examined the lifestyle habits of 927,130 people from an insurance complaint database.

Participants included adults aged 20 or over (55% women and 45% men) who had a health check between April 1, 2014 and February 28, 2022.

The researchers followed the patients, who had a median age of about 67 years, for about 2.6 years to see who developed a fracture of osteoporosis in the hip, the spine, the forearm or the humerus.

What is osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is a silent disease that occurs when bone mineral density and bone mass decreases, according to the National Institutes of Health.

Most people do not know they have the disease before breaking a bone, most often in the hip, spine or wrist.

Osteoporosis is a common cause of fractures in menopausal women and older men.

The working group on American preventive services recommends that women aged 65 and more to make a bone density analysis at least once to detect osteoporosis.

Study results

The study revealed that jumping breakfast more than three times a week and eating a late dinner was associated with other lifestyle choices, such as smoking, drinking alcohol daily and not sleeping or doing enough exercise, suggesting that these unhealthy lifestyle habits are accumulating over time.

(The authors said that the most common eating habit in Japan was to have breakfast, lunch and dinner, defining a “late dinner” as eating less than two hours before bedtime more than three times a week.)

“We have shown that these eating habits have frequently concocted with other unhealthy behaviors – such as smoking, low physical activity and insufficient sleep – suggesting that full lifestyle can be important for fractures prevention,” the author Hiroki Nakajima of Nara Medical University, Fox News Digital.

People with these unhealthy behaviors were already more likely to be diagnosed with osteoporosis. But not having a routine food calendar was independently associated with a higher risk of osteoporotic fractures.

The study results were recently published in the Journal of the Endocrine Society.

“Establish routines – like taking meals at specific moments – supports our well -being without requiring a constant reflection or dependence on the will.”

A key limitation is that it was an observational study, which means that it shows that jumping breakfast or eating late dinners is associated with bone disease but does not prove that it actually causes it.

The authors also relied on a questionnaire on the lifestyle that has been self -deprecated, so more objective research is necessary.

Healthy routines

Previous research has confirmed that the consumption of meals according to a regular schedule is good for the health of people.

Healthy food routines include the consumption of all meals in a period of less than 12 hours a day, eating the most in the previous part of the day and avoiding food consumption near bedtime.

“There are several reasons why have breakfast and dinner in time benefit our health, but one of the main reasons why I often emphasize is that the establishment of routines-like taking meals at specific times-supports our well-being without requiring a constant reflection or dependence on the will,” said Su-Nui Escobar, a dietary recorded in Miami declared to Fox News Digital.

“As a mother occupied myself, I often count on breakfasts, I can either prepare in advance, or those I don’t have to cook,” she said.
