Testing dietary approaches to slow aging
Administrative Supplement: A planning project to pilot test and optimize dietary approaches to slow aging and design a long-term trial
This study is looking at how two different eating plans—eating fewer calories and only eating during certain hours—can help people stay healthier as they age, and it's for anyone interested in improving their health and longevity.

What this research studies
This research investigates how different dietary methods, specifically calorie restriction and time-restricted eating, can impact aging and health. It aims to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of these approaches in improving healthspan and slowing biological aging in humans. Participants may engage in either traditional in-person visits or remote sessions using mobile health technologies to monitor their dietary habits and health outcomes. The findings will inform a larger trial designed to test the most effective dietary intervention.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are young to middle-aged adults interested in dietary interventions to enhance their health and potentially slow aging.
Not a fit: Patients who are not interested in dietary changes or who have specific medical conditions that contraindicate calorie restriction or time-restricted eating may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to dietary strategies that significantly improve health and longevity for individuals as they age.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promising results for both calorie restriction and time-restricted eating in improving health outcomes, suggesting that this approach could be effective.
