A growing body of research has identified circadian-rhythm disruption as a risk factor for metabolic health. These circadian mechanisms represent potential pathophysiological pathways linking circadian disruption to adverse metabolic health outcomes, including obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes.
