Abstract in brief

Intermittent fasting (IF) helps reduce body weight, BMI, and improve certain cardiometabolic markers like HbA1c, fasting glucose, total cholesterol, and triglycerides in adults with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, but it doesn't significantly affect fat mass, insulin levels, or blood pressure.
The meta-analysis reviewed 14 studies with over 1100 participants and found that IF consistently led to weight loss and some metabolic improvements compared to control diets or calorie restriction.
However, the effects on fat mass, insulin, lipid profiles, and blood pressure were limited or not significant, suggesting that while IF is effective for weight loss and certain health markers, it may not impact all aspects of body composition or cardiometabolic health equally.
