Nutritional adaptation to circadian misalignment: implications for musculoskeletal health in modern lifestyles (opens in new tab)

Circadian rhythms regulate metabolic, endocrine, and cellular processes essential for maintaining musculoskeletal health. Accumulating experimental and epidemiological evidence indicates that circadian disruption, driven by modern lifestyle factors such as shift work, sleep restriction, and irregular eating patterns, is associated with an increased risk of musculoskeletal disorders. This narrative review summarizes current evidence linking circadian misalignment to alterations in bone, skelet...
