This study investigated the association between chrononutrition behaviours, anthropometric measurements and body composition in adults with prediabetes. This prospective longitudinal study enrolled 120 participants aged 54 \u00b115 years, who received standard care at healthcare clinics. Socio-demographic data were collected via an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Anthropometric measurements, body composition metrics and chrononutrition behaviours (assessed with the Malay-translated Chrononutrition Profile Questionnaire) were assessed at baseline and 6 months. Multiple linear regression analyses with adjustment for confounders were conducted. A later last meal was associated with higher body weight (\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                    : 0\u00b768 kg, 95 % CI: 0\u00b731, 1\u00b704) and larger waist circumference (\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                    : 1\u00b738 cm, 95 % CI: 0\u00b757, 2\u00b719). Each hour deviation from eating beyond the 07.00\u201319.00 time window corresponded to an increase in body weight of 1\u00b741 kg (95 % CI: 0\u00b705, 2\u00b777). Increasing frequency of nighttime snacking was associated with higher BMI (\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                    : 1\u00b761 kg\/m\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    , 95 % CI: 0\u00b743, 2\u00b779). Delaying last meal timing (\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                    : 0\u00b744 %, 95 % CI: 0\u00b714, 0\u00b774) and deviating from solar time were associated with higher body fat percentage (\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                    : 1\u00b736 %, 95 % CI: 0\u00b730, 2\u00b742), while increasing frequency of breakfast skipping was associated with lower muscle mass (\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                    : \u22120\u00b731 kg, 95 % CI: \u20130\u00b756, 0\u00b707). These findings highlight the importance of chrononutrition behaviours in influencing anthropometric and body composition outcomes, supporting targeted interventions on meal timing in prediabetes management.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0007114526108095","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,28]],"date-time":"2026-07-28T04:32:55Z","timestamp":1785213175000},"page":"1-13","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Association between chrononutrition behaviours, anthropometric measurements and body composition in adults with prediabetes"],"prefix":"10.1017","author":[{"given":"Guey Yong","family":"Chong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/03b3zvp63","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Tunku Abdul Rahman University of Management and Technology"},{"name":"Universiti Putra Malaysia"},{"name":"Universiti Putra Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0808-9612","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kaur","family":"Satvinder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UCSI University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abd Talib","family":"Ruzita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Community Health Studies (ReaCH), Faculty of Health Sciences, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia"},{"name":"Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"See Ling","family":"Loy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"KK Women\u2019s and Children\u2019s Hospital"},{"name":"Duke-NUS Medical School"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hui Yin","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/03b3zvp63","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Tunku Abdul Rahman University of Management and Technology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Binti Abdullah","family":"Rosmiza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Klinik Kesihatan Batu Berendam, Pejabat Kesihatan Daerah Melaka Tengah"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Binti Mahmud","family":"Hanisah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Klinik Kesihatan Batu Berendam, Pejabat Kesihatan Daerah Melaka Tengah"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Woan Yie","family":"Siah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Klinik Kesihatan Batu Berendam, Pejabat Kesihatan Daerah Melaka Tengah"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lay Kim","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Health, Ministry of Health Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chee Cheong","family":"Kee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Health, Ministry of Health Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5452-6241","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hui Chin","family":"Koo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/03b3zvp63","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Tunku Abdul Rahman University of Management and Technology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,28]]},"container-title":["British Journal of Nutrition"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/services\/aop-cambridge-core\/content\/view\/S0007114526108095","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,28]],"date-time":"2026-08-28T13:11:25Z","timestamp":1787922685000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/product\/identifier\/S0007114526108095\/type\/journal_article"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,28]]},"references-count":0,"alternative-id":["S0007114526108095"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/s0007114526108095","relation":{},"ISSN":["0007-1145","1475-2662"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0007-1145","type":"print"},{"value":"1475-2662","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,28]]},"assertion":[{"value":"\u00a9 The Author(s), 2026.
