About this study

The purposes of this study are to explore the dynamics of adherence, using a simple whole food intervention strategy, both prior to and during the intervention period and to identify nutrient shifts in self-selected diets and to determine health risks (blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and body weight) that may have resulted from increased tomato product consumption.

Read the detailed description

African-American (AA) men suffer the greatest proportion of health disparities of any studied category and adherence to advice among this group has been vastly understudied.

Although there are several ongoing trials for behavioral change, either of diet or lifestyle, enrollment rates of AA men (< 25%) often provide insufficient numbers to evaluate adherence issues separately.

Tomatoes, more than lycopene alone, may have beneficial effects on prostate health, including BPH and prostate cancer. Efficacy trials would require long-term adherence to high levels of tomato product (TP) consumption.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Tomato Product Intake Between Different Groups

    The intervention group: aimed to achieve the goal of more than five servings of TP/week while control group aimed to eat vegetable instead of tomatoes.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Diet Adherence to Tomato Product Consumption Between Different Groups

    Using 24-hr recall weekly, consumption of tomato product was measured by serving size.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Consumption of Tomato Products Between Different Groups

    Using 24-hr diet recall, types of tomato products were counted.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Differences in Dietary Lycopene Intake Between Different Groups

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Plasma Lycopene Concentration Between Different Groups

    Measured: 3 months
