Similar effects also appeared in SBP and DBP categories regardless of follow-up duration .
PA+D interventions had larger improvement effects on CVD risk factors than PA alone interventions .
In adults without IGT or diabetes , lifestyle interventions result ed in significant improvements in SBP , DBP , TC , LDL-C , HDL-C , and TG , and might further reduce CVD risk
Structured lifestyle interventions can reduce diabetes incidence and cardiovascular disease ( CVD ) risk among persons with impaired glucose tolerance ( IGT ) , but it is unclear whether they should be implemented among persons without IGT .
We conducted a systematic review and meta-analyses to assess the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions on CVD risk among adults without IGT or diabetes .
Weight loss effects from vegetable intake: a 12-month randomised controlled trial
Background / Objectives : Direct evidence for the effects of vegetable intake on weight loss is qualified . The study aim ed to assess the effect of higher vegetable consumption on weight loss . Subjects/ Methods : A single blind parallel controlled trial was conducted with 120 overweight adults ( mean body mass index=29.98 kg/m2 ) r and omised to two energy deficit healthy diet advice groups differing only by doubling the serving ( portion ) sizes of vegetables in the comparator group . Data were analysed as intention-to-treat using a linear mixed model . Spearmans rho bivariate was used to explore relationships between percentage energy from vegetables and weight loss . Results : After 12 months , the study sample lost 6.5±5.2 kg ( P<0.001 time ) with no difference between groups ( P>0.05 interaction ) . Both groups increased vegetable intake and lost weight in the first 3 months , and the change in weight was significantly correlated with higher proportions of energy consumed as vegetables ( rho=–0.217 , P=0.024 ) . Fasting glucose , insulin and triglyceride levels decreased ( P<0.001 time ) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels increased ( P<0.001 time ) , with no difference between groups . Weight loss was sustained for 12 months by both groups , but the comparator group reported greater hunger satisfaction ( P=0.005 ) . Conclusions : Advice to consume a healthy low-energy diet leads to sustained weight loss , with reductions in cardiovascular disease risk factors regardless of an emphasis on more vegetables . In the short term , consuming a higher proportion of the dietary energy as vegetables may support a greater weight loss and the dietary pattern appears sustainable
