Efficacy of different 8 h time-restricted eating schedules on visceral adipose tissue and cardiometabolic health: A study protocol.

Background And Aims: To investigate the efficacy and feasibility of three different 8 h time-restricted eating (TRE) schedules (i.e., early, late, and self-selected) compared to each other and to a usual-care (UC) intervention on visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and cardiometabolic health in men and women.

Development of a prediction protocol for the screening of metabolic associated fatty liver disease in children with overweight or obesity.

Background: The early detection and management of children with metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is challenging.

Objective: To develop a non-invasive and accurate prediction protocol for the identification of MAFLD among children with overweight/obesity candidates to confirmatory diagnosis.

Methods: A total of 115 children aged 8-12 years with overweight/obesity, recruited at a primary care, were enrolled in this cross-sectional study.
