Cardiac Rehabilitation for Prediabetes and Metabolic Syndrome Remission: Impact of Ultraprocessed Food-Intake Reduction and Time-Restricted Eating in the DIABEPIC-1 Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiac rehabilitation programs provide a valuable opportunity to promote the adoption of healthy lifestyle behaviors in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVDs) and metabolic comorbidities, including metabolic syndrome and prediabetes. However, strategies to reverse these conditions remain to be explored. The DIABEPIC-1 study aimed to assess the feasibility of an enhanced 6-month cardiac rehabilitation program for patients with ASCVD while investigating prediabetes and metabolic syndrome remission.

Methods

The study combined exercise training with a comprehensive nutritional intervention, emphasizing reduction in intake of ultraprocessed foods, adoption of a Mediterranean diet, and implementation of time-restricted eating. Baseline, 3-month,
