Prolonged nightly fasting in older adults with memory decline: A single-group pilot study exploring changes in cognitive function and cardiometabolic risk factors
These pilot findings suggest that prolonged nightly fasting, targeted to align food intake with circadian rhythms, may improve cognitive function and sleep among older adults. Fully powered, randomized controlled trials to test the efficacy of this non-pharmacological, low cost-to-burden ratio intervention are needed.
