Relationships between rest-activity rhythms, cancer-related fatigue, and quality of life: Results from a time-restricted eating randomized controlled trial

Key Points

The aim is to explore how rest-activity rhythms relate to cancer-related fatigue and quality of life.
Conducted a randomized controlled trial comparing time-restricted eating to a control group.
Measured rest-activity rhythms and fatigue levels among participants.
Rest-activity rhythm parameters may serve as biomarkers for fatigue and overall well-being.
No significant difference observed between time-restricted eating and control on rest-activity parameters.

Abstract

= 0.004, large effect size). There was no effect of group (time-restricted eating vs. control) on any of the rest-activity parameters. Findings suggest that rest-activity rhythm parameters, including those derived from novel HMMs, may serve as useful biomarkers of fatigue and various dimensions of well-being, supporting further research in larger samples and potential clinical application.
