"Study Finds Intermittent Fasting Associated with 91% Increase in Cardiovascular Mortality Risk"

A study presented at the American Heart Association’s 2024 sessions suggests that following an 8-hour time-restricted eating plan, a form of intermittent fasting, may be linked to a 91% higher risk of cardiovascular mortality. The research, which analyzed data from over 20,000 U.S. adults, found that this eating pattern was associated with an increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease, particularly among individuals with existing heart disease or cancer. While time-restricted eating has been popular for its potential short-term benefits, the study emphasizes the need for a personalized approach to dietary recommendations aligned with an individual's health status and the latest scientific evidence.
