Fasting vs. Cutting Calories: Which One Really Fights Aging in Fatty Liver?

Key Insight

This study may reveal if meal timing rivals calorie cutting for people with early fatty liver.


Researchers want to know if eating in a shorter daily window works as well as cutting calories for people with early fatty liver disease. They will follow 177 adults aged 50 to 70 who are overweight, checking body fat, liver fat, and aging markers over a year. This is just the study plan, so no results are in yet. It aims to settle whether when you eat matters as much as how much.
