In men, evening chronotype is specifically associated with sarcopenia and diabetes, whereas in women, it is associated with metabolic syndrome but not sarcopenia or diabetes.
Men who are evening types should prioritize muscle maintenance and blood sugar control, as they face higher risks for sarcopenia and diabetes. Women who are evening types should focus on managing visceral fat and metabolic markers, as they face a higher risk for metabolic syndrome.
