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 .
Dietary effects of introducing school meals based on the New Nordic Diet - a randomised controlled trial in Danish children. The OPUS School Meal Study.
The OPUS ( Optimal well-being , development and health for Danish children through a healthy New Nordic Diet ( NND ) ) School Meal Study investigated the effects on the intake of foods and nutrients of introducing school meals based on the principles of the NND covering lunch and all snacks during the school day in a cluster-r and omised cross-over design . For two 3-month periods , 834 Danish children aged 8 - 11 years from forty-six school classes at nine schools received NND school meals or their usual packed lunches brought from home ( control ) in r and om order . The whole diet of the children was recorded over seven consecutive days using a vali date d Web-based Dietary Assessment Software for Children . The NND result ed in higher intakes of potatoes ( 130 % , 95 % CI 2·07 , 2·58 ) , fish ( 48 % , 95 % CI 1·33 , 1·65 ) , cheese ( 25 % , 95 % CI 1·15 , 1·36 ) , vegetables ( 16 % , 95 % CI 1·10 , 1·21 ) , eggs ( 10 % , 95 % CI 1·01 , 1·19 ) and beverages ( 6 % , 95 % CI 1·02 , 1·09 ) , and lower intakes of bread ( 13 % , 95 % CI 0·84 , 0·89 ) and fats ( 6 % , 95 % CI 0·90 , 0·98 ) were found among the children during the NND period than in the control period ( all , P < 0·05 ) . No difference was found in mean energy intake ( P= 0·4 ) , but on average children reported 0·9 % less energy intake from fat and 0·9 % higher energy intake from protein during the NND period than in the control period . For micronutrient intakes , the largest differences were found for vitamin D ( 42 % , 95 % CI 1·32 , 1·53 ) and iodine ( 11 % , 95 % CI 1·08 , 1·15 ) due to the higher fish intake . In conclusion , the present study showed that the overall dietary intake at the food and nutrient levels was improved among children aged 8 - 11 years when their habitual packed lunches were replaced by school meals following the principles of the NND
