Late dinners, sedentary commutes, limited post-meal activity and caffeine consumption close to bedtime are emerging as recurring lifestyle patterns associated with poorer wellness scores among urban Indians, according to the India Wellness Index 2026 by EYVA.

The firm analysed more than 3.5 million de-identified readings across metabolic, cardiovascular and respiratory wellness from over 30,000 EYVA users across India, primarily from urban areas. It found that around 54 per cent of users consumed their last large meal after 9 pm, with late-dinner nights associated with lower sleep scores and higher next-morning glucose trends against individual baselines.
