What this trial measures
- 24-Hour Systolic Blood PressureBaseline (Week 0), Week 6, and Week 12 of the intervention
Change in mean 24-hour systolic blood pressure measured using ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). Blood pressure will be recorded over a 24-hour period to assess the effects of early time-restricted eating on blood pressure regulation.
