Summary

This trial aims to see if eating at regular times helps prevent frailty in older adults with prostate cancer receiving hormone therapy. 30 participants will be tested for frailty and physiological responses.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals over 55 with prostate cancer undergoing ADT therapy who can follow the study procedures and speak/read English. It's not for those who already eat within a 10-hour window, have upcoming surgery, contraindications to diet changes (like type 1 diabetes), are on artificial nutrition, underweight, or have had significant weight loss recently.

What is being tested?

The study tests if time-restricted eating can help older adults better handle stress from frailty and prostate cancer treatment. Participants will either follow a strict eating schedule or their usual habits for 12 weeks while researchers measure changes in frailty and physiological responses like blood pressure and glucose tolerance.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves dietary interventions rather than medication, side effects may include hunger outside of eating windows, potential temporary digestive adjustments to new eating schedules, and possible fluctuations in energy levels.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Time-restricted eatingExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

Participants will meet with a nutritionist to discuss dietary recommendations for patients with prostate cancer undergoing ADT. Participants will self-select a 10-hour window in which to consume all food and beverages (with the exception of black coffee and unsweetened tea in the mornings; water is okay at all times).

Group II: Unrestricted eatingActive Control1 Intervention

Participants will meet with a nutritionist to discuss dietary recommendations for patients with prostate cancer undergoing ADT. Participants will try to follow recommendations will no suggestion for meal timing.
