Calorie Restriction vs Time-Restricted Eating Study Tests Aging Interventions

Wake Forest University conducted a pilot study comparing two popular longevity interventions in older adults: traditional caloric restriction versus time-restricted eating. The nine-month trial enrolled 90 participants to test whether reducing total calories or limiting eating windows could be feasibly implemented in aging populations. Participants received either in-person or remote support while researchers measured various health outcomes. This completed study provides valuable data on the practical implementation of dietary interventions that have shown promise for extending healthspan and lifespan in laboratory studies.
