The researchers looked at 22 individuals with a body mass index who were classified as overweight or obese, had completed cardiotoxic treatment (anthracyclines, a commonly used chemotherapy drug) within the past one to six years, and were an average age of 66 years.
For eight weeks participants were allowed to eat freely between 12-8 p.m. on weekdays and at any time on the weekends. Outside of those hours, participants were asked to consume only water, black coffee or black tea.Using the Canadian Cardiovascular Society scoring system to calculate the 10-year Framingham Risk Score, the authors found that Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) risk decreased from 10.9 per cent to 8.6 per cent at the end of the trial period.
