Impact of Intermittent Fasting and/or Caloric Restriction on Aging-Related Outcomes in Adults: A Scoping Review of Randomized Controlled Trials

“…Respectively, of the 30 included studies, 27 used a parallel group design, and 3 used a crossover design. These studies were conducted in the United States [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 ], Germany [ 43 , 44 ], Malaysia [ 45 , 46 , 47 ], China [ 48 , 49 ], the United Kingdom [ 50 ], Norway [ 51 ], Sweden [ 52 ], Poland [ 53 ], Korea [ 54 ], and Austria [ 55 ]. Of the total extracted studies, 10 were CR interventions, 12 were IF interventions, and 8 combined and/or compared both IF and CR.…”

“…Of the total extracted studies, 10 were CR interventions, 12 were IF interventions, and 8 combined and/or compared both IF and CR. In relation to study length, 1 study was short-term (i.e., ≤4 weeks) [ 55 ], 14 medium-term (4–12 weeks) [ 27 , 28 , 31 , 36 , 39 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 ], and 15 longer-term (>12 weeks) [ 26 , 29 , 30 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 37 , 38 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 50 ]. Populations assessed included healthy men [ 45 , 46 ], healthy individuals [ 28 , 31 , 39 ], healthy non-obese individuals [ 29 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 55 ], healthy sedentary individuals [ 40 ], obese/overweight individuals [ 26 , 30 , 38 , 41 , 42 , 49 , 50 , ...…”

“…Overall, 8 studies combined and/or compared IF with CR ( Table 4 ) [ 38 , 41 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 50 ] and investigated cardiometabolic outcomes, with the exception of one study that validated mood and quality of life questionnaires implemented by Teng et al (2011).…”

“…Of these studies, two assessed various forms of CR (i.e., ADF) in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, reporting improvements in liver steatosis and fibrosis [ 47 ] and body weight [ 48 ]. Further, four studies assessed IF and CR regimens for 12 months or longer [ 38 , 41 , 44 , 50 ].…”

Different Dietary Approaches, Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Cardiovascular Disease: A Literature Review

“…Two relevant trials [ 71 , 72 ] evaluated alternated-day fasting and established an association of these intermitted fasting methods with a reduction in liver fat and fibrosis score. Finally, a recent meta-analysis, with 417 NAFLD participants from six trials, showed the positive effects of intermittent fasting on liver tests [ 73 ].…”
