This past week, the American Heart Association solidified its reputation (ref<\/a>, ref<\/a>) as being incapable of recognizing quality science.\u00a0 They released a poster session on their website titled \u201cTime-restricted eating may raise cardiovascular death risk in the long term<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n This study basically involved the researchers doing some data mining to make a bold claim that an eating window of less than 8 hours based on two (2)<\/u> dietary recall days was associated with increased risk of death from \u00a0cardiovascular disease, but not all-cause mortality.<\/p>\n This report comes from a retrospective observational study, which means that they just analyzed a pre-existing database of information to test a hypothesis.\u00a0 It is purely observational, meaning that there was no intervention being tested.\u00a0 This format means that it provides among the lowest quality evidence available. \u00a0If a researcher has a bias, there\u2019s plenty of ways<\/p>\nWhy is this study meaningless?<\/h3>\n
