Area of Science:

Cardiovascular Health
Metabolic Disorders
Nutritional Science

Background:

Elevated blood pressure is a significant health concern among working adults.
Intermittent fasting (IF) shows potential for managing metabolic health.
A structured protocol is needed to evaluate IF's efficacy for hypertension.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and test a protocol for an intervention-based study.
To compare the effectiveness of intermittent fasting versus a usual diet in reducing elevated blood pressure.
To assess the impact of IF on body weight, BMI, waist circumference, and nutritional status.

Main Methods:

Quasi-experimental, single-blinded, parallel-group study design.
Intervention group: 2 days of fasting, 5 days ad libitum diet weekly.
Control group: Usual healthy lifestyle.
Sample size: 140 participants (70 per arm) with 80% power and 5% alpha, accounting for 30% attrition.
Statistical analysis using SPSS 24.

Main Results:

This section is not applicable as the abstract describes a study protocol, not results.

Conclusions:

The study protocol details a unique intermittent fasting regimen mimicking the Muslim Sunnah.
Findings aim to reduce blood pressure in adults with hypertension.
If effective, this IF method could be a valuable tool for hypertension prevention programs.
The protocol will investigate IF's impact on blood pressure, body weight, BMI, waist circumference, and nutrition status.
