Review examines the effects of intermittent fasting (IF) on the human gut microbiome, revealing variable impacts on microbiota composition and diversity, influenced by fasting type, dietary habits, and individual microbiome characteristics.
By Vijay Kumar MalesuFeb 14 2024Reviewed by Susha Cheriyedath, M.Sc. In a recent study published in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition, a group of researchers evaluated how various intermittent fasting regimens impact the composition of the human gut microbiome.
About the study The present review explored IF effects on gut microbiota, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 guidelines and registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews . Initial and follow-up searches across four databases targeted English studies up to 2021, including direct author contacts, to ensure comprehensive IF research coverage.
Data extraction was evenly distributed among reviewers, focusing on outcomes related to gut microbiota diversity and composition alongside study and participant characteristics without making assumptions about unclear data. The risk of bias was rigorously assessed using Cochrane's tools, facilitating an unbiased and thorough synthesis of the available evidence on the impact of IF on gut microbiota.
