This essay examines the impact of chronotype on obesity and metabolic syndrome in young adults. The study is particularly relevant in the context of the rising prevalence of obesity and metabolic syndrome in India, which is already considered the land of diabetes and has a genetic predisposition to coronary heart disease. Chronotype, which reflects a preference for certain times of the day, influences various health and behavioral problems. There is evidence that evening types have a higher risk of eating disorders and chronic sleep deprivation, which in turn is associated with obesity and diabetes. This study aims to analyze the relationship between chronotype and risk of obesity and metabolic syndrome in young Indian adults.

Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)
This study aims to investigate the relationship between chronotype and obesity, metabolic syndrome, and insulin resistance in young adults. The research focuses on understanding how an individual's circadian preference, characterized by morningness or eveningness, might influence their metabolic health in this age group.
- Association between chronotype and obesity in young adults.
- Relationship between chronotype and metabolic syndrome in young adults.
- Connection between chronotype and insulin resistance in young adults.
- Influence of lifestyle factors, including diet and sleep patterns, on the relationship between chronotype and metabolic health.
- Potential for interventions targeting lifestyle factors to improve metabolic health in individuals with an evening chronotype.
