Clinical Significance: Firefighters have elevated risk for developing cardiovascular disease which is related to the stress/inflammatory response associated with active fire suppression activities. These findings show time restricted feeding can improve the stress/inflammatory response to firegrounds activities, and may provide meaningful implications for cardiometabolic health in firefighters engaged in such activities.
