Associations Between Eating Windows and Health Outcomes in Children and Adolescents from the ALSPAC Cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Time-limited eating (TLE) improves body weight and metabolic health in adults; however, little is known about effects in younger populations (YP). TLE in adolescents can reduce calorie consumption, but studies have not demonstrated superior weight loss compared to other dietary practices.

Three-day diet diaries (ages 7, 13 years) collected in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) were used to calculate EW. Height, weight, body composition, blood pressure, and fasting bloods were recorded during clinic visits at ages 7, 13, and 24.
