Study of Eating Patterns With a Smartphone App and the Metabolic Effects of Time Restricted Feeding (TRF) in the Metabolic Syndrome - An Open-label Randomized Controlled Trial of TRF vs Regular Dietary Advices
Abstract
SwissChronoFood - Study of eating patterns with a smartphone app and the metabolic effects of time restricted feeding in metabolic syndrome
The purpose of this study is to assess eating patterns among teenagers and adults with a new method, going beyond the pen-and-paper food diaries, and to investigate whether time restricted feeding leads to weight loss, improvement in lipid and glucose metabolism in individuals with components of the metabolic syndrome
Conditions: Eating Behavior, Metabolic Syndrome, Obesity, Dyslipidemias, Glucose Intolerance, Steatosis of Liver.
Primary outcome: Eating duration; Change of metabolic syndrome components.
Enrollment: 235 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 235 participants or records.
