Optimization of Chrononutrition to Reduce the Risk of Disease in Shift Workers

Sponsor: Salk Institute for Biological Studies

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

In this randomized controlled trial, the investigators will assess the health impacts of optimizing the timing of dietary consumption in nurses and nursing assistants who work night shifts, have a habitual eating window of 14 hours or more, and elevated weight. Participants will be randomized to one of three groups: (1) dietary monitoring, (2) dietary monitoring plus 10-hour daytime time-restricted eating (TRE), or (3) TRE with a low-glycemic snack during night shifts. The study includes a 2-week screening/baseline health assessment, with follow-up health assessments at 3-, 6- (primary outcome), and 12 months.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Dietary Monitoring

Participants in the group will receive standard advice for a healthy lifestyle, log all food and beverage intake on the myCircadianClock app, and continue their habitual eating patterns.

BEHAVIORAL

Time-Restricted Eating (TRE)

Participants in the group will receive standard advice for a healthy lifestyle, log all food and beverage intake on the myCircadianClock app, and adhere to a personalized consistent 10-hour time-restricted eating window.

BEHAVIORAL

Time-Restricted Eating with a Low-Glycemic Snack (TRE-LGS)

Participants in the group will receive standard advice for a healthy lifestyle, log all food and beverage intake on the myCircadianClock app, and adhere to a personalized consistent 10-hour time-restricted eating window. On nights that participants work night shifts, they will consume a low-glycemic snack provided by the research team.
