摘要：Time-restricted eating (TRE) reduces weight in humans, but its effects on quality of life have not been well characterized. By performing a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial, we examined the effects of TRE (12-week intervention, 8 h eating window) vs. non-TRE (unrestricted eating) on quality of life (QoL) measures. Twenty subjects with overweight and prolonged eating window (mean (SD): 15.4 h (0.9)) were randomized to either 12 weeks of TRE (8 h eating window: (n = 11)) or non-TRE (n = 9). QoL data were collected with the 36-item Short Form Survey (SF-36) pre- and post-intervention. Given a two-way ANOVA model and post-hoc t-test analysis, the TRE group improved limitations due to emotional health post-intervention: 97.0 (10.0)) vs. baseline: 66.7 (42.2) (p = 0.02) and perceived change in health over the last year end intervention: 68.2 (16.2) vs. baseline: 52.3 (23.6) (p = 0.001) relative to baseline. The TRE group improved limitations due to emotional health TRE: 97.0 (10.0) vs. non-TRE: 55.6 (44.1) (p = 0.05) and perceived change in health (TRE: 68.2 (16.2) vs. non-TRE: 44.4 (31.6) (p = 0.04) relative to the non-TRE group at post-intervention (p < 0.025). In conclusion, 12 weeks of TRE does not adversely affect QoL and may be associated with modest improvements in QoL relative to baseline and unrestricted eating; these findings support future studies examining TRE compliance and durability.
