I have read some additional analysis on that study and there is definitely nuance. The study was not focusing on IF, but rather those who recalled only eating within a certain period of day for a long period of time. This wasn’t just intentional IF, but also people who couldn’t eat throughout the day because of scheduling or financial issues, both of which could be additional risk factors. They didn’t check for other health conditions, financial conditions, anything.
Basically, be very, very careful with correlation and causation for any scientific studies that don’t draw that line very explicitly. I’m excited to see more research done.
Agreed, it is being reported differently in different news postings, which can also be an issue with determining what the conclusions actually were.
Just something to be aware of, because if it ends up that intentional IF is as rough as unintentional IF, then it’s something to be avoided for long term dieting.

Just be aware that some recent studies showed that there are long term risks to cardiac health.
It’s still early, but IF may have some serious consequences if followed long term.

Also overweight induces cardiac risks, so both risks must be compared.
