“Among participant with three meals per day, a meal interval of ≤4.5 hours in two adjacent meals was associated with higher all-cause mortality.” So people who ate three meals a day ALSO fared poorly? Am I reading that right?
It's not saying anything about 3 meals vs. any other number of meals.
Maybe because those who are trying to diet are already obese?
There are so many variables in these things, that it’s damn near impossible to do truly neutral studies; especially if there’s any money to be made.

In my limited personal experience, it's not obese people i see doing intermittent fasting - it's more like the keto crowd.
yawn .. next.

the multivariable-adjusted HRs for participants
Likely this is because people who are dieting are overweight. This is looking at damaged people and then drawing a conclusion. Pretty good chance these people would have died similar deaths regardless of diet. Better study would compare them to a control group to determine if risk went down or if life expectancy went up.
But what they don't say is people who didn't take the drug but avoided obesity and excess Alcohol, Drugs, Tobacco had a 70% better outcome.
Earlier, on HN I read that it improves lifespan and now it is associated with early death.
Not the same thing... Also there can't be scientific evidence that anything improves lifespan.
