Conclusion The Nordic dietary pattern  improves blood pressure and also some of blood lipid markers and it should be considered as a healthy dietary pattern
Background and aims The Nordic diet ( ND ) , is supposed to be associated with a reduced cardiovascular risk ; however , clinical trials have led to inconsistent results regarding the effect of this diet on cardio-metabolic markers .
Using systematic review and meta- analysis of r and omized controlled trials ( RCTs ) , this study aim ed to investigate the effect of the ND on circulating levels of total , low-density lipoprotein ( LDL ) , and high-density lipoprotein ( HDL ) cholesterol , and triglyceride ( TG ) , as well as blood pressure in human adults .
Effects of school meals based on the New Nordic Diet on intake of signature foods: a randomised controlled trial. The OPUS School Meal Study.
A New Nordic Diet ( NND ) was developed in the context of the Danish OPUS Study ( Optimal well-being , development and health for Danish children through a healthy New Nordic Diet ) . Health , gastronomic potential , sustainability and Nordic identity were crucial principles of the NND . The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of serving NND school meals compared with the usual packed lunches on the dietary intake of NND signature foods . For two 3-month periods , 834 Danish children aged 8 - 11 years received NND school meals or their usual packed lunches brought from home ( control ) in r and om order . The entire diet was recorded over 7 consecutive days using a vali date d Web-based Dietary Assessment Software for Children . The NND result ed in higher intakes during the entire week ( % increase ) of root vegetables ( 116 ( 95 % CI 1·93 , 2·42 ) ) , cabbage ( 26 ( 95 % CI 1·08 , 1·47 ) ) , legumes ( 22 ( 95 % CI 1·06 , 1·40 ) ) , herbs ( 175 ( 95 % CI 2·36 , 3·20 ) ) , fresh berries ( 48 ( 95 % CI 1·13 , 1·94 ) ) , nuts and seeds ( 18 ( 95 % CI 1·02 , 1·38 ) ) , lean fish and fish products ( 47 ( 95 % CI 1·31 , 1·66 ) ) , fat fish and fish products ( 18 ( 95 % CI 1·02 , 1·37 ) ) and potatoes ( 129 ( 95 % CI 2·05 , 2·56 ) ) . Furthermore , there was a decrease in the number of children with zero intakes when their habitual packed lunches were replaced by NND school meals . In conclusion , this study showed that the children increased their intake of NND signature foods , and , furthermore , there was a decrease in the number of children with zero intakes of NND signature foods when their habitual packed lunches were replaced by school meals following the NND principles
