Investigating the effects of caloric restriction and time-restricted feeding on health in older adults
Health Aging & Later-Life Outcomes Planning (HALLO-P)
['FUNDING_U01'] · WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY HEALTH SCIENCES · NIH-10674850
This study is looking at how eating less and timing your meals might help older adults stay healthier, and it's inviting people aged 60 and up to join in and see if these eating habits can lower the chances of getting sick or facing disabilities.

What this research studies
The Health Aging & Later-Life Outcomes Planning (HALLO-P) focuses on understanding how caloric restriction and time-restricted feeding can impact health outcomes in older adults. This research involves a multi-site, randomized clinical trial that will compare the health effects of these dietary interventions against a control group. The study aims to enroll older adults aged 60 and above, utilizing mobile health tools to enhance participant adherence and gather data on the feasibility of the interventions. The goal is to determine whether these dietary strategies can effectively reduce disease and disability risks in this population.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are older adults aged 60 and above, particularly those with a BMI of 27 kg/m2 or higher.
Not a fit: Patients who are younger than 60 years or have a BMI below 27 kg/m2 may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved dietary strategies that enhance health and reduce disease risk in older adults.
How similar studies have performed: Previous clinical trials on caloric restriction have shown beneficial physiological changes, suggesting that this approach may be effective, but the specific outcomes of this trial are yet to be tested.
