About this study

Official title: The Impact of a Fruit and Vegetable Provision Program on Cardiovascular Health

Participants in the intervention group of this study will receive weekly home deliveries of fruit \& vegetables for 3 months. The primary objective of this study is to determine if increased access to fruits and vegetables leads to sustained dietary changes, measured through changes in the Healthy Eating Index (HEI). Secondary objectives are to determine whether increased fruit and vegetable access (increased HEI) ultimately leads to improved cardiovascular (CV) health indicators (e.g., body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, and levels of blood lipids and hemoglobin A1c).

What is being measured

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

  1. Intake of fruits and vegetables measured by changes in Healthy Eating Index (HEI)

    The HEI uses a scoring system to evaluate a set of foods. The scores range from 0 to 100. An ideal overall HEI score of 100 reflects that the set of foods aligns with key dietary recommendations from the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Changes in weight measured by body mass index

    weight and height will be combined to report BMI in kg/m^2

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Changes in waist circumference

    Waist circumference will be measured in inches using a tape measure; desirable: < 40 inches (men), < 35 inches (women)

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Changes in total cholesterol

    measured via blood draw, desirable < 200 mg/dL

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Changes in HDL-cholesterol

    measured via blood draw, desirable > 40 mg/dL

    Measured: 6 months

  5. Changes in LDL-cholesterol

    measured via blood draw, desirable < 100 mg/dL

    Measured: 6 months

  6. Changes in triglycerides

    measured via blood draw, desirable < 150 mg/dL

    Measured: 6 months

  7. Changes in blood pressure

    Measured by medical assistant in clinic, desirable < 120/80 mmHg

    Measured: 6 months

  8. Changes in blood glucose

    measured via blood draw, desirable range is 60-99 mg/dL

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fruit and vegetable deliveries in people with Hyperlipidemias, run by Oregon Health and Science University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intake of fruits and vegetables measured by changes in Healthy Eating Index (HEI) (time frame: 6 months). 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?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Apr 2022.
