Perspectives of older adults with memory decline participating in a prolonged nightly fasting (PNF) pilot study: A qualitative exploration
These findings contribute to a broad field of intermittent fasting by exploring and understanding the direct experiences of older adults participating in PNF. Some participants identified challenges of participation, yet this qualitative approach can guide future PNF implementation with older adults. Notably, responses support the quantitative data suggesting that PNF is a feasible and acceptable intervention for older adults.
