Effects of fortified eggs and time-restricted eating on cardiometabolic health: The prosperity trial

Am Heart JPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

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.

Study context

Population
Patients with a prior CV event or 2 CV risk factors
Participants
140 patients
Comparison
Fortified eggs vs nonegg supplemented diet; Time-restricted eating (TRE) vs usual care diet
Primary endpoint
Co-primary: LDL- and HDL-cholesterol (change from baseline, least squares (LS) means)
Follow-up
4 months
Methodological detailsunblinded, 2-by-2 factorial
  • Unblinded
  • 2-by-2 factorial

Primary result

Secondary outcomes

HDL and LDL with fortified eggs (FE) in patients ≥65 years (prespecified subgroup)

Nonsignificant HDL increase and LDL decrease with FE
