Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This project aims to offer a quantitative and qualitative nutritional approach, along with educational nutritional guidelines for participants with Non-Communicable Chronic Diseases. The main goals are: 1- Regularization of eating habits and windows; 2- Modulation of biochemical, anthropometric, and cardiovascular parameters; 3- Increase in knowledge about healthy eating. In this way, participants will undergo a complete nutritional assessment, comprising anthropometry, biochemistry, clinical, and dietary evaluations.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study will be conducted at the Endocrinology and Hypertension Clinic of the São José do Rio Preto Medical School between 2026 and 2027, with the objective of collecting comprehensive data for an in-depth analysis of the participants. Eligible individuals will be randomly assigned to two intervention groups. Participants in the first group will follow a daytime eating window (7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.), while those in the second group will follow a nighttime eating window (12:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.). Nutritional consultations will be conducted individually at five assessment points: Month 0 (baseline), Month 6 (end of first intervention phase), Month 9 (end of washout), Month 15 (end of second intervention phase), and Month 18 (follow-up). Each consultation will last approximately one hour per participant, and all participants will receive appointment reminders via phone or WhatsApp.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Daytime eating window (7 am - 7 pm)

Participants will be instructed to follow the assigned eating window for a period of 6 months. In the daytime eating window, there will also be encouragement for sleep hygiene practices.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Comparison of eating windows intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will be randomized into two groups to follow either a daytime or nighttime eating window, with normocaloric meal plans based on the Mediterranean diet adapted to Brazilian culture. The first intervention phase will last 6 months, followed by a 3-month washout period during which participants return to their usual eating patterns. After the washout, participants will resume the same eating window for an additional 6 months. A final follow-up assessment will be conducted 3 months post-intervention to evaluate the stability of behavioral changes.

Nighttime eating window (12 pm - 12 am)

Participants will be instructed to follow the assigned eating window for a period of 6 months.
