“Circadian health” refers to the optimal function, rhythmicity and alignment of all internal circadian rhythms to each other and to the external light-dark cycle. Circadian health is important for maintaining physiological and behavioral health, including cardiovascular function.
This statement describes the role of circadian rhythms in maintaining and promoting cardiometabolic health.
