About this study

Official title: Time-Restricted Eating (16/8) and Energy-Restricted Diet: Effects on Diet Quality, Body Composition and Biochemical Parameters in Healthy Overweight Females

This study was planned to investigate the effect of TRE on the nutritional status and diet quality of individuals and to compare the effects of TRE and energy-restricted diet (ERD) in healthy overweight individuals. The female individuals were randomly divided into the TRE or ERD groups in an unbiased manner using a computer-generated block randomisation list. Individuals in the TRE group applied a diet limited to 8 hours for 8 weeks (16/8). They were fed ad libitum between 10.00 a.m-06.00 p.m and fasted between 06.00 p.m-10.00 a.m.No restrictions were imposed on the type and amount of food consumed during the feeding period. During the fasting period, individuals consumed water and non-energy drinks (tea, coffee, soda, etc.). Individuals in the ERD group followed a diet specially prepared for them for 8 weeks. At the first encounter with individuals, resting energy expenditure (REE) was measured by the indirect calorimetry method. Physical Activity Level (PAL) was determined by physical activity record. The total energy expenditure (TEE) of individuals was determined using the 'REE x PAL' formulation. 'TEE-500 kcal' formulation was used for the diet to be given to individuals. Individuals were not given a diet containing energy below the REE. Acceptable macronutrient distribution range (AMDR) were taken as dietary content. The diet given to individuals has 45-65% carbohydrate, 20-35% fat, 10-35% protein content. Nutritional habits of individuals were taken into consideration while planning the diet. Each individual consumed 3 main meals and the number of snacks was determined individually. Food exchange lists were given to individuals and nutrient changes were explained in detail. Anthropometric and body composition measurements of individuals were taken. The energy expenditure was measured using indirect calorimetry. Blood pressure and heart rate measurements were made. Biochemical parameters were evaluated and food consumption were taken. The quality of dietary intake was assessed using the Healthy Eating Index (HEI) -2015.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Body weight in kilograms

    Body weight measurement were taken using an Inbody 720 body analyzer.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. The energy expenditure in kcal

    Resting energy expenditure was measured at the beginning and end of the study using indirect calorimetry (COSMED, FitMatePro, Rome, Italy). Measurements were taken in the early morning hours after at least 8 hours of fasting.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Blood cholesterol level

    The measurement was analyzed after at least 8 hours of fasting in the morning hours at the beginning and end of the study.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  4. The quality of dietary intake

    Diet quality was assessed with the Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015).

    Measured: 8 weeks

  5. Height in meters

    The height of the individuals was measured with a stadiometer with a sensitivity of 0.1 cm.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  6. waist circumference in meters

    For waist circumference measurement, the midpoint between the lowest rib bone and the cristailiac was found, and the circumference measurement passing through this point was taken.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  7. Blood Triglyceride level

    The measurement was analyzed after at least 8 hours of fasting in the morning hours at the beginning and end of the study.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Body weight in kilograms (time frame: 8 weeks). The study lists 15 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Jun 2023.
