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 .
Milk enriched with "healthy fatty acids" improves cardiovascular risk markers and nutritional status in human volunteers.
OBJECTIVE The main goal of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a commercially available milk containing small amounts of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid , oleic acid , and vitamins A , B6 , D , E , and folic acid compared with semi-skimmed and skimmed milk in volunteers with moderate cardiovascular risk . METHODS Two hundred ninety-seven subjects 25 to 65 y of age with moderate cardiovascular risk were r and omly allocated into three groups . In addition to their diets , one group consumed 500 mL/d of the enriched milk , another group consumed 500 mL/d of skimmed milk , and a control group consumed 500 mL/d of semi-skimmed milk . All groups consumed the dairy drinks for 1 y and blood sample s were taken at 0 and 12 mo . RESULTS Consumption of enriched milk for 1 y produced significant ( P < 0.05 ) increases in serum folate ( 58 % ) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( 4 % ) . Plasma triacylglycerols ( 10 % ) , total cholesterol ( 4 % ) , and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( 6 % ) were reduced significantly only in the supplemented group . Serum glucose , homocysteine , and C-reactive protein remained unchanged . In the skimmed milk and semi-skimmed milk groups , the only significant decreases were in serum folate ( 17 % and 11 % , respectively ) . CONCLUSION Daily intake of a milk enriched with fish oil , oleic acid , and vitamins improved the nutritional status and cardiovascular risk markers of volunteers , whereas skimmed milk and semi-skimmed milk did not
