Abstract
En 中文
Although fasting is increasingly applied for disease prevention and treatment, consensus on terminology is lacking. Using Delphi methodology, an international, multidisciplinary panel of researchers and clinicians standardized definitions of various fasting approaches in humans. Five online surveys and a live online conference were conducted with 38 experts, 25 of whom completed all 5 surveys. Consensus was achieved for the following terms: fasting(voluntary abstinence from some or all foods or foods and beverages), modified fasting(restriction of energy intake to max. 25% of energy needs), fluid-only fasting,alternate-day fasting,short-term fasting(lasting 2-3 days), prolonged fasting(>= 4 consecutive days), and religious fasting.Intermittent fasting(repetitive fasting periods lasting <= 48 h), time-restricted eating,and fasting- mimicking dietwere discussed most. This study provides expert recommendations on fasting terminology for future research and clinical applications, facilitating communication and cross-referencing in the field.
