Nutrition and Cardiometabolic Health

The Nutrition and Cardiometabolic Health special collection aims to advance our understanding of how dietary patterns, macronutrient composition, micronutrient intake, and dietary supplements influence cardiometabolic risk factors. We welcome submissions that delve into various aspects of the relationship between nutrition and cardiometabolic health, including dietary patterns, macronutrient composition, micronutrient intake, and dietary supplements, with a focus on their impact on cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and related conditions.

Study Objective
To investigate the effects of intermittent fasting (IF) on body composition and cardiometabolic health in individuals with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, comparing it with control diets and calorie restriction.

Short Abstract
This meta-analysis, including 14 studies and 1101 adults, found that intermittent fasting led to a significant reduction in body weight and improved cardiometabolic health indicators, including blood glucose levels, in individuals with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.

Study Design
Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

Population
Adults with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.

Sample Size
1101 participants across 14 studies.

Inclusion Criteria
RCTs with parallel or crossover designs studying the effects of intermittent fasting on body composition and cardiometabolic health in adults with prediabetes or T2D.

Exclusion Criteria
Studies not involving intermittent fasting or those not focusing on cardiometabolic health outcomes.

Intervention/Exposure
Intermittent fasting (IF) compared to control diets or calorie restriction (CR).

Outcome Measures
Changes in body weight, blood glucose, and other cardiometabolic risk factors.
