Energy balance
Reduction in 30-year cardiovascular disease risk (CVDRisk30y) is significantly correlated with changes in body fat percentage (%BF) and skeletal muscle percentage (%MM) following TRF, even without changes in traditional blood biomarkers.
Focus on losing body fat and maintaining muscle mass through your TRF protocol, as these changes are the primary drivers for lowering your long-term cardiovascular risk score. Traditional blood tests may not reflect these improvements, so tracking body composition is a more useful metric for this specific intervention.
TRF promoted a reduction in CVDRisk30y (12%)... moderately correlated with %BF (r = 0.62, n = 64, p < 0.001) and %MM (r = -0.74, n = 64, p < 0.001).
Why this rating
Based on the same non-randomized trial with small sample size.
