Fasting, calorie cutting, and exercise for metabolic syndrome
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests if combining intermittent fasting, calorie reduction, and physical activity can help manage metabolic syndrome (a group of risk factors that increase your chance of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes). If you have at least three of five specific health issues (like belly fat, high blood pressure, or high blood sugar) and are an adult aged 18 or older, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
