Filter by:Study Design and Participants This intervention study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed at investigating the effects of time-restricted feeding (TRF) on cardiovascular health markers among overweight male university students in Shenzhen, China. The study recruited male university students aged between 18 and 24 years, with a Body Mass Index (BMI) ranging from 24 to less than 28. All participants were free from severe psychiatric illnesses, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, alcoholic fatty liver disease, hyperthyroidism, or hypothyroidism. Inclusion criteria required participants to be non-smokers, not currently on any diet pills, and have no history of cardiovascular or metabolic diseases. Randomization and Intervention Fifty eligible participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n=25) or the control group (n=25). The intervention group underwent a 6-hour daily TRF from noon to 6 P.M., while the control group did not participate in TRF but maintained their usual eating patterns. No restrictions were placed on the type or quantity of food consumed by participants in either group. Data Collection and Measures Body Composition and Anthropometry: Measurements included body mass index, body fat percentage, muscle mass, hydration levels, protein content, and visceral fat, all assessed using a bioelectrical impedance analysis scale (Mi Body Composition Scale 2 by Huami Technology). Waist circumference was manually measured by experienced nurses using a tape measure. Blood Pressure and Heart Rate: These vital signs were monitored using an arm cuff electronic blood pressure monitor (Panasonic EW3153), with the arm positioned at heart level to ensure accuracy. Measurements were taken after at least five minutes of seated rest. Nutritional Intake Although time-restricted feeding interventions do not usually change the content or quantity of dietary intake, the total daily intakes of energy, fat, protein, carbohydrate, cholesterol, and fibre were calculated using the Nutritionist Pro food analysis program. This was used to determine possible changes in the subjects' dietary composition as a result of the intervention. Compliance and Ethical Considerations The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Seventh Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University (Shenzhen), with the approval number KY-2022-101-01. All data were handled confidentially, and measures were taken to ensure high adherence and minimal loss to follow-up. Statistical Analysis Descriptive statistics such as range, mean, standard deviation, and percentages were used to describe the sample characteristics. To compare differences, the change from baseline levels was assessed to account for initial variability, employing an independent samples t-test for the analysis.
Time-restricted eating (TRE) is a dietary approach that aims to increase fasting time and decrease the eating window. Promising TRE effects on weight loss and improvements in some cardiometabolic risk factors have been reported in studies in animals and humans. However, the impacts of TRE combined with aerobic exercise training in individuals with overweight and obesity have been insufficiently investigated. Additionally, aerobic training performed in a fasted state appears to promote physiological adaptations that may improve the metabolic health in individuals with overweight and obesity. The present study investigates the effects of 8 weeks of TRE associated with aerobic training in a fasted state versus a fed state on body composition and cardiometabolic parameters in women with overweight and grade 1 obesity.
In patients with severe stroke whose GCS score is ≤12 points or NIHSS score is ≥11 points, to evaluate whether time-restricted enteral nutrition can improve the incidence of poor 90-day prognosis (mRS ≥3 points) compared with continuous enteral nutrition.
Objective: In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of time-restricted feeding on anthropometric measurements and leptin, ghrelin, adiponectin, insulin and cortisol hormone levels in obese women. Material and Methods: This study was carried out with women who voluntarily accepted to participate in the study who applied to the Baskent University Ankara Hospital Endocrinonogy Outpatient Clinic between September 2019 and October 2020. Women between the ages of 20 and 50, with a body mass index of 29-35 kg/m2, without any chronic disease, who did not have a weight loss diet in the last 6 months, and who had regular night sleep were included in the study. This study was planned as a randomized cross-over design for a total of 9 weeks. Two different dietary interventions, "time-restricted feeding" and "extended-time feeding", were applied to 4 weeks for each group and a week for wash-out period. Anthropometric measurements and hormone levels of individuals were evaluated at the beginning and end of the study.
Overarching hypothesis In critically ill adults enteral feeding in a diurnal intermittent pattern improves patient centred outcomes. Research questions for this study Are the same derangements in metabolic and hormonal function observed in healthy volunteers when fed continuously via a nasogastric tube observed in critically ill patients and can those derangements be mitigated by intermittent diurnal feeding? Aim of this study Assess the effect of an enteral nutrition regimen mimicking the usual diurnal meal pattern on hormonal profile and metabolism in critically ill adults. This will generate novel and important proof of concept data and support progression to a clinical trial integrating investigation of physiological responses and patient centred outcomes. Objectives of this study Laboratory: Characterise patterns of hormone, lipid and metabolite response to intermittent diurnal feeding in critically ill adults. Clinical: assess feasibility, tolerability (vomiting and gastric residual volume) and efficacy (calorie delivery) of intermittent diurnal feeding in critically ill adults.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility of remote time-restricted eating (TRE) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) interventions and the preliminary effect on EOCRC-related markers. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is it feasible and acceptable to conduct 8-week remote interventions of TRE, MBSR, and combined TRE+MBSR among young adults with excess adiposity and moderate-to-severe perceived stress? - Will participants in the combined group lose more body weight and reduce their stress levels than those in the remaining groups? - Will participants in the combined group experience better body composition changes and improve their cardiometabolic health compared to those in the remaining groups? - Will participants in the combined group exhibit changes in the microbiome compared to those in the remaining groups? Participants will: - Complete 8 weeks of a TRE intervention - Complete 8 weeks of a remote MBSR intervention Researchers will compare 1. TRE alone; 2. MBSR alone; 3. TRE + MBSR; and 4. Control to see if the study is feasible and acceptable; to see if individuals lose body weight; to see if individual stress levels reduce; to see changes in the microbiome.
The overall goal is to examine the efficacy of a circadian intervention in people with overweight and obesity and habitual short sleep duration (HSSD). Participants will undergo a randomized controlled trial, with circadian intervention and control (healthy lifestyle) groups. The circadian intervention is designed to reduce nighttime light exposure and after-dinner snack food intake. Alternatively, the control group will receive basic health information (e.g., physical activity, goal setting, and nutrition when eating out).
The goal is to study the direct effects of long-term intermittent fasting on immune cell populations in the blood, combined with analyses of systemic metabolic fitness and inflammatory activation of leukocytes.
In Spain, overweight and obesity prevalence is reaching 70% in men and 50% in women. Excess of triglycerides are usually stored in the subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), until a point where SAT is unable to expand further. Therefore, lipids are deposited in visceral and other peripheral organs and tissues that are not otherwise designed for adipose storage such as the liver, pancreas or the skeletal muscle, a process known as ectopic fat deposition. "Time-restricted eating" (TRE) is a recently emerged intermittent fasting approach which has the potential to maximize the beneficial metabolic effects extensively reported for energy intake restriction. Furthermore, exercise reduces hepatic steatosis and improves cardiometabolic health in humans. However, whether the effects of TRE combined with exercise on reducing hepatic steatosis are superior to TRE or exercise intervention alone remains unknown. The TEMPUS study will investigate the effects of a 12-week TRE combined with supervised exercise intervention, as compared with TRE or exercise alone, and usual-care control group, on hepatic fat (primary outcome) and cardiometabolic health (secondary outcomes) in adults with obesity; and to unveil the role of gut microbiota.
This study proposes to investigate the effect of a self-selected early time-restricted eating window in University students.
