Abstract

The question of whether or not intermittent fasting diets improve the clinical indicators of glycolipid metabolism remains unclear. This study systematically reviewed the relevant clinical trials to evaluate the effects of intermittent fasting diet on glucose and lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity in patients with metabolic syndrome. To evaluate the effect of intermittent fasting diet intervention on patients with disorders of glucose and lipid metabolism, random-effect or fixed-effect meta-analysis models were used to calculate the average difference before and after intermittent fasting diet intervention and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). After intermittent fasting diet intervention, in terms of glucose metabolism, fasting blood glucose reduced by 0.15 mmol/L (95% CI: -0.23; -0.06), glycosylated hemoglobin reduced by 0.08 (95% CIs: -0.25; -0.10), insulin plasma levels reduced by 13.25 uUI (95% CIs: -16.69; -9.82), and HOMA-IR decreased by 0.31 on an average (95% CIs: -0.44; -0.19). In addition, BMI decreased by 0.8 kg/m2 (95% CIs: -1.32; -0.28), body weight reduced by 1.87 kg (95% CIs: -2.67; -1.07), and the waist circumference decreased by 2.08 cm (95% CIs: -3.06; -1.10). Analysis of lipid metabolism showed that intermittent fasting diet intervention effectively reduced the total cholesterol level by 0.32 mmol/L (95% CIs: -0.60; -0.05), low-density lipoprotein level by 0.22 mmol/L (95% CIs: -0.37; -0.07), and triglyceride level by 0.04 mmol/L (95% CIs: -0.15; -0.07). Intermittent fasting diets have certain therapeutic effects on blood glucose and lipids in patients with metabolic syndrome and significantly improve insulin resistance. It may be considered as an auxiliary treatment to prevent the occurrence and development of chronic diseases.
