Yes, the time change has physiological effects
Dans la nuit de samedi 29 octobre à dimanche 30 octobre 2016, à A 3 heures il sera 2 heures. Ce changement d’heure n’est pas sans effets sur la physiologie humaine et sur la santé.
Lorsque, en avril 1784, Benjamin Franklin écrit dans le Journal de Paris qu’il suffirait d’avancer l’horaire du lever en hiver pour réduire la consommation de bougies et réduire la pollution, il avait raison. Lorsqu’il clame que le nouvel horaire serait difficile à vivre pendant deux ou trois jours seulement car « ce n’est que le premier pas qui coûte », il avait tort.
La littérature scientifique montre que le changement d’heure peut induire des troubles du sommeil, de la vigilance, des accidents de la route, des dépressions, des suicides, et des infarctus du myocarde. - What's on? - 28.10.2016

Saturday 29 October: World Stroke Day
A stroke, or cerebrovascular accident (CVA), occurs when the blood circulation to the brain is interrupted by the formation of a blood clot that blocks an artery in the brain, known as a cerebral infarction, or by the rupture of an artery in the brain, a situation known as a cerebral or meningeal haemorrhage.[1] As a result, nerve cells are deprived of the oxygen and nutrients they need and die, causing irreversible damage or sudden death.

The French are overweight – confirmed by the Constances cohort
Nearly one in two French people over 30 years of age are overweight. This is what the first results from the Constances cohort has revealed. Now supported by Inserm and the French national social security organisation for salaries workers (Cnamts), Constances collates health data on more than 110,000 French people. With ultimately 200,000 people monitored, Constances will provide varied indicators of health in the population, such as the influence of various factors on the occurrence of disease or the impact of preventive measures.
