Time-Restricted Feeding for Metabolic Health in Postmenopausal Women
This study is looking at whether time-restricted feeding (TRF) can improve metabolic health in postmenopausal women who are prediabetic or have features of metabolic syndrome. TRF involves eating all your daily food within a specific 10-hour window. Researchers will compare women who practice TRF to those who don't, over 18 weeks. They will measure changes in insulin sensitivity (how well your body uses insulin), Body Mass Index (BMI), and triglycerides (a type of fat in your blood). You may be able to join if you are a postmenopausal woman between 45 and 65 years old with certain metabolic health concerns. The current status of this study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is a randomized study with two groups, aiming to enroll 164 participants. Participants will either follow time-restricted feeding or not.
- What's involved
- You would provide baseline information for two weeks, then follow your assigned group for 16 weeks. You would text the times of your first and last daily meals.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Measurements will be collected at 18 weeks (baseline and post-intervention).
