“…In China, the eating habits of the Chinese population are a potential barrier that lowers people's acceptance and adherence to IF. The average eating window of Chinese adults is 13.03 ± 2.02 h per day [10]. People with fixed-time jobs or living in urban areas have busy schedules and commonly have irregular meals [10].…”

“…The average eating window of Chinese adults is 13.03 ± 2.02 h per day [10]. People with fixed-time jobs or living in urban areas have busy schedules and commonly have irregular meals [10]. Moreover, midnight snacks are a common food culture in southern China and Hong Kong [56].…”

“…Although IF is a potential weight management strategy, its efficacy may vary by dietary habits in the study population because of the adherence issue. A recent study reported that the average eating window of 1596 Chinese adults was 13.03 h, in which 45% of individuals commenced eating at 8:00-9:00 a.m., and 52% of participants ceased eating at 8:00 p.m. [10]. According to NHANES 2009-2014, the average eating window, first mealtime, and last mealtime of 15,341 adults aged 20 or above were 12.2 ± 0.06 h, 8:08 a.m., and 8:18 p.m., respectively [11].…”

The efficacy of intermittent fasting (IF), as an emerging weight management strategy, in improving cardiometabolic health has been evaluated in various populations, but that among Chinese individuals has not been systematically studied. A comprehensive search on multiple databases was performed to identify eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) up to October 2022. The primary outcome was post-intervention weight loss, and secondary outcomes included changes in cardiometabolic indicators. Effect estimates were meta-analyzed using a random-effects model. In total, nine RCTs with 899 Chinese participants were included. Time-restricted eating was the most adopted IF protocol in this study (six out of nine), followed by alternate-day fasting. The IF intervention significantly reduced body weight, body mass index, body fat mass, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides when compared with control groups. However, no statistically significant reductions in waist circumference, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting glucose, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure were found. To sum up, IF can be a weight management strategy and may improve the cardiometabolic health of Chinese adults, but more long-term trials using different IF strategies are required to generate robust evidence of its efficacy.
