Energy Intake and Dietary Glycemic Load in Late Morning and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes: The Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos—A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study
Authors' conclusion
This study identified late morning as a favorable meal timing in Hispanic/Latino adults, providing a novel perspective on type 2 diabetes prevention that warrants confirmation.
Study context
- Population
- U.S. Hispanic/Latino adults without diabetes at baseline (2008–2011) attending visit 2 (2014–2017), HCHS/SOL; 50.9% female, mean age 39.0 years1,262 incident diabetes cases
- Participants
- 8,868 adults
- Exposure
- Greater vs lower energy intake and glycemic load (GL) in late morning
- Outcome
- Incident T2D
- Follow-up
- Median 5.8 (range 0.8-9.6) years

Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Incident diabetes by late-morning (9:00-11:59 a.m.) energy intake and GL
HR per 100-kcal energy intake increment in late morning
0.94
95% CI 0.91–0.97
HR per 10-unit GL increment in late morning
0.93
95% CI 0.89–0.97
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Substitution of energy intake or GL from early morning, afternoon or evening with late-morning equivalents
- Associated with a comparably lower diabetes risk
