About this study

Official title: Effects of a Healthy Nordic Diet on Abdominal Obesity, Body Weight Maintenance and Cardiometabolic Risk: a 2-year Randomised Controlled Study

This project will examine whether long-term consumption of healthy Nordic foods can maintain a healthy weight also after weight loss, and decrease abdominal fat accumulation and cardiometabolic risk. The study will be performed with the aim to achieve a substantial body weight loss in the first phase by prescribing a standardized low caloric dietary formula. The follow-up phase will be a body weight-maintenance period and the subjects will be randomised to a healthy Nordic diet group and a control diet group. During the study body weight will be monitored and other measurements will include insulin sensitivity, blood lipids and inflammation markers.

  2. Body fat and body lean mass (BIA)

    Measured: Before and after body weight loss/maintenance: baseline (week -6), 0 (after 6-week weight loss period, month 6, 12, 18, 24

  3. Blood lipids

    Measured: Before and after body weight loss/maintenance: baseline (week -6), 0 (after 6-week weight loss period, month 6, 12, 18, 24

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in sagittal abdominal diameter (time frame: Change from baseline to month 6, 12, 18, 24). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
