Deans' stroke musings: Intermittent fasting tied to increased risk for death from heart disease

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Intermittent fasting tied to increased risk for death from heart disease

Key takeaways:

Time-restricted eating was associated with increased risk for death from heart disease.
This was a less than 8-hour eating window compared with a 12-to-16-hour window, which is the average in the U.S.

A time-restricted eating window of less than 8 hours was associated with increased risk for cardiovascular death, according to study findings presented at the Epidemiology, Prevention, Lifestyle & Cardiometabolic Scientific Sessions.

“Restricting daily eating time to a short period, such as 8 hours per day, has gained popularity in recent years as a way to lose weight and improve heart health,” Victor Wenze Zhong, PhD, professor and chair of the department of epidemiology and biostatistics at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine in Shanghai, said in a press release. “However, the long-term health effects of time-restricted eating, including risk of death from any cause or cardiovascular disease, are unknown.”

The present study included 20,078 participants aged 20 years or older from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2003 to 2018 who completed two valid 24-hour dietary recalls and provided self-reported usual dietary intake (mean age, 49 years; 50% men; 73% white). Average time-restricted eating, a form of intermittent fasting, was stratified by self-reported duration: less than 8 hours, 8 to 10 hours, 10 to 12 hours, 12 to 16 hours or more than 16 hours.

Eating within a 12-to-16-hour window was identified as the mean U.S. eating duration and served as the reference group.

The median follow-up was 8 years.

Compared with the reference group, an eating duration of less than 8 hours was associated with increased risk for CV mortality (HR = 1.91; 95% CI, 1.2-3.03) and was also observed in subgroups of adults with CVD (HR = 2.07; 95% CI, 1.14-3.78) and cancer (HR = 3.04; 95% CI, 1.44-6.41).

No other eating durations were associated with CV mortality, with the exception 8 to 10 hours in adults with CVD compared with 12 to 16 hours (HR = 1.66; 95% CI, 1.03-2.67), according to the presentation.

Moreover, Zhong and colleagues reported no significant associations between eating duration and all-cause or cancer mortality in the overall sample or either CVD or cancer subgroups, except for the eating duration of more than 16 hours, which was associated with lower risk for cancer mortality in adults with cancer (HR = 0.47; 95% CI, 0.23-0.95).

“It’s crucial for patients, particularly those with existing heart conditions or cancer, to be aware of the association between an 8-hour eating window and increased risk of cardiovascular death. Our study’s findings encourage a more cautious, personalized approach to dietary recommendations, ensuring that they are aligned with an individual’s health status and the latest scientific evidence,” Zhong said in the release. “Although the study identified an association between an 8-hour eating window and cardiovascular death, this does not mean that time-restricted eating caused cardiovascular death.”
