Conditions
Summary
Alcohol use disorders are characterized by excessive alcohol consumption and loss of control and are associated with high mortality and disease burden. The relationship between physical activity and alcoholism is complex, and low physical activity has been shown to be linked to alcohol consumption. Additionally, individuals' circadian rhythms (chronotypes) may influence alcohol consumption habits; Evening-type individuals are more likely to consume alcohol. This study aims to examine the relationship between physical activity levels and chronotype trends in individuals with alcohol addiction.
