Abstract
Background
Given the increasing interest in dietary interventions to improve cardiovascular health, this trial assessed the impact of fortified eggs (FE) versus nonegg supplemented diet and time-restricted eating (TRE) versus usual care diet on cardiovascular biomarkers.
Methods
The study was a unblinded, 2-by-2 factorial design, which randomized patients, with either a prior cardiovascular event or 2 cardiovascular risk factors, to FE or a nonegg supplemented diet and TRE or usual care diet. Patients randomized to FE were instructed to consume at least 12 FE/week (with eggs provided); those on a nonegg supplemented diet restricted egg consumption to <2 eggs/week. TRE participants were instructed to consume all calories within an 8-hour window daily and fasted for the remaining 16 hours. Patients randomized to usual diet were advised to maintain current dietary habits. Follow-up was performed in-person at 1 and 4 months, and telephone calls at 2 and 3 months. Co-primary endpoints were 4-month LDL- and HDL-cholesterol. Secondary endpoints included additional lipids, cardiometabolic- and inflammatory biomarkers and micronutrient levels at 4-months.
Results
Overall, 140 patients were randomized with median (25th, 75th percentiles) age 66 (58, 73) years; 72 (51%) women, 38 (27%) Black, and 33 (24%) with diabetes mellitus. The difference in least squares (LS) means from baseline to 4-months for HDL and LDL levels revealed no significant clinical difference between FE vs nonegg supplemented diet (HDL: -0.64 mg/dL [95% CI: -3.86, 2.58]; LDL: -3.14 mg/dL [-10.81, 4.52]) and TRE vs usual care diet (HDL: 1.51 mg/dL [-1.65, 4.68]; LDL 1.17 mg/dL [-6.36, 8.70]). Prespecified subgroups revealed a nonsignificant HDL increase and LDL decrease with FE in patients ≥65 years.
Conclusions
These data did not demonstrate clinically relevant differences in changes in LDL and HDL levels over 4 months with FE and TRE compared with nonegg supplemented diet and usual care diet, respectively, providing evidence that adverse short-term lipid and biomarker changes did not occur with FE consumption.
期刊介绍:
The American Heart Journal will consider for publication suitable articles on topics pertaining to the broad discipline of cardiovascular disease. Our goal is to provide the reader primary investigation, scholarly review, and opinion concerning the practice of cardiovascular medicine. We especially encourage submission of 3 types of reports that are not frequently seen in cardiovascular journals: negative clinical studies, reports on study designs, and studies involving the organization of medical care. The Journal does not accept individual case reports or original articles involving bench laboratory or animal research.
