Impacts of a nutrition education intervention in individuals with cardiometabolic risk: Protocol of a randomized controlled trial

Effects of nutrition education given to persons with multiple sclerosis and their families on diet quality and anthropometric and biochemical measurements

“…The distribution of family education group diet quality scores showed a significant increase from "poor" to "needs improvement" at T3 compared to T1. The upper middle arm circumference measurements of the female control group were decreased at T2 and T3 [from 29.0 (23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34) cm to 28.0 (22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31) cm and to 27.5 (22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31) cm]. Women in family education group, levels of serum haemoglobin and haematocrit were higher than in control group at T2 and T3.…”

“…A distribuição dos escores de qualidade da dieta do grupo de educação familiar mostrou um aumento significativo de "ruim" para "precisa melhorar" no T3 em comparação ao T1. As medidas da circunferência do braço médio do grupo controle feminino foram menores em T2 e T3 [ de 29,0 (23-34) cm para 28,0 (22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31) cm e para 27,5 (22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31) cm]. Nas mulheres do grupo família, os níveis séricos de hemoglobina e hematocrito foram maiores do que no grupo controle em T2 e T3.…”

“…The BMI, WC, HC, and FFM values of the education groups and the CG did not change during the study (p>0.05). At T2 and T3, the UMAC of women decreased in the CG [from 29.0 (23-34)cm to 28.0 (22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)cm and to 27.5 (22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)cm, p<0.001]. The TST of the women in the FEG decreased at T2 compared to T1 (15.3±2.5mm Biochemical parameters are shown in Table 3.…”

“…Also, an increasing level of Hb and Htc, but a decreasing level of ALT shows positive effects of nutrition education. It was previously determined that nutrition education given to patients with cardiometabolic risk led to positive changes in food consumption compared to those who did not receive nutrition education [30]. There is not enough study to evaluate the effect of nutrition education on biochemical parameters in PWMS but in some diseases such as metabolic syndrome and chronic kidney disease, total cholesterol and serum electrolyte levels are affected by nutrition intervention [31,32].…”
