The time of day at which colonoscopy is performed, whether during the morning or the afternoon, does not have a significant impact on the quality of bowel preparation. The quality of bowel preparation is significantly better in patients with a shorter time between bowel preparation and the start of colonoscopy.

These results suggest a role for visceral obesity, quantified by CT, as a risk factor for erosive esophagitis.
