The effects of dietary rhythms on organ-specific biological aging remain unclear. This study analyzed 14,012 adults from NHANES to assess associations between dietary rhythms and biological aging of the body, heart, liver, and kidneys. Earlier last meals, specifically before 9 p.m., were linked to lower aging risks for the body, heart, and liver but not kidneys. The strongest protective effects were seen with meals between 3 and 5 p.m. for the body and heart, and 5-7 p.m. for the liver. Converse
