In a six‐week time‐restricted feeding study of adults 18‐60 years, relationships among lifestyle (eating and sleeping), physical parameters (weight, waist circumference, and blood pressure), and salivary biomarkers (C‐reactive protein (CRP), cortisol, and insulin) were examined. Data from 15 participants revealed a negative correlation between sleep and fasting duration but a positive correlation between fasting duration and final cortisol levels. No correlations existed between fasting duration and other health measures. BMI scores were positively associated with CRP and initial insulin levels. Also, pulse pressure was positively associated with final insulin levels. These relationships emphasize the need for additional analyses and design modifications.
