What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the connection between physical activity levels and chronotype tendencies in individuals diagnosed with alcohol dependence. It aims to understand how circadian rhythms may influence alcohol consumption habits, particularly focusing on evening-type individuals who may be more prone to drinking. Participants aged 18-65 who have been in remission for at least one month will be recruited through various channels, and their physical activity and chronotype will be assessed using validated questionnaires. The study seeks to gather insights that could inform future interventions for alcohol dependence.
