Cardiovascular disease remains one of the most prevalent and preventable chronic conditions worldwide. Nutrition plays an important role in reducing several risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease. Intermittent fasting has been rapidly gaining interest among patients with cardiometabolic disease as a nutritional strategy for improving cardiovascular outcomes. However, research had yet to determine whether intermittent fasting provides greater cardiometabolic benefits compared to continuous daily caloric restriction. A recent Cochrane review has synthesised the benefits of intermittent fasting for the prevention of cardiovascular disease but is limited by its interpretation of the findings for clinical practice. This commentary aims to critically appraise the methods used within the review by Allaf et al, 2021 and expand upon the findings to determine its implications for clinical practice.
心血管疾病仍然是全球最普遍且可预防的慢性病之一。营养在降低与心血管疾病相关的多种风险因素方面发挥着重要作用。间歇性禁食作为一种改善心血管疾病预后的营养策略，在患有心脏代谢疾病的患者中迅速受到关注。然而，此前的研究尚未确定与持续每日热量限制相比，间歇性禁食是否能带来更大的心脏代谢益处。最近一项Cochrane综述总结了间歇性禁食对预防心血管疾病的益处，但在对临床实践结果的解读方面存在局限性。本评论旨在批判性地评估Allaf等人2021年综述中所使用的方法，并进一步阐述研究结果，以确定其对临床实践的意义。
