Overview
This project aims to offer a quantitative and qualitative nutritional approach, along with educational nutritional guidelines for participants with Non-Communicable Chronic Diseases. The main goals are: 1- Regularization of eating habits and windows; 2- Modulation of biochemical, anthropometric, and cardiovascular parameters; 3- Increase in knowledge about healthy eating. In this way, participants will undergo a complete nutritional assessment, comprising anthropometry, biochemistry, clinical, and dietary evaluations.
Description
The study will be conducted at the Endocrinology and Hypertension Clinic of the São José do Rio Preto Medical School from 2025 to 2027, aiming to collect data for a thorough analysis of the participants. The study participants will be randomly assigned to 2 groups (intervention 1 and intervention 2). Participants in the first group will follow a daytime eating window (7 am - 7 pm). Participants in the second group will follow a nighttime eating window (12 pm - 12 am). Nutritional consultations will be individual and will occur once every 3 months until the conclusion of the study, according to the clinic's scheduling availability. The average duration of each session will be approximately 1 hour per participant. All participants will be reminded of their appointments via phone/WhatsApp.
