Effect of a Nutritional Intervention That Incorporates the Transtheoretical Model of Motivation to Change in Healthy Eating in Patients With Cardiovascular Risk Factors: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Cardiovascular diseases are the main responsible for the global burden of disease for non-communicable diseases. Its treatment and prevention is aimed at generating changes in the habits of life; however, the percentages of non-adherence are very high. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of a nutritional intervention in patients with cardiovascular risk that incorporates the transtheoretical model and motivational interviews on the progression in the stages of change to improve adherence to healthy eating. Methods: the investigators included 105 patients who came to the first time at clinical nutrition service in external consultation of National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition Salvador Zubirán, were randomized to intervention group or control group and the stage of change of the transtheoretical model, presence or absence of anxiety and depression, anthropometry, blood pressure, physical activity, and food frequency, to determine the quality and quantity of food intake, were evaluated. Used X² and t-test for the comparison of baseline data between groups and repeated measures ANOVA to assess differences in post-intervention.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The investigators included 105 patients that were randomized to intervention group or control group. The control group comprised 41 patients, that continued with the usual intervention of Clinical Nutrition Service in external consultation, attending once a month to receive nutritional intervention with the prescription of a hypocaloric diet on the part of the nutritionist. And the intervention group made up of 42 patients using the TM and MI through sessions group and sessions individual with topics of healthy eating habits taught by a nutritionist, physical activity and exercise manual taught by a physical therapist, preparation of healthy food with menu taught by graduates in gastronomy and confrontation of barriers given by a psychologist.

Both groups had a monthly monitoring for 3 months. The diet that was prescribed to the intervention group was with the characteristics of the DASH diet, according to the most recent international guides of the ACC and AHA, for the reduction of cardiovascular risk.

Once included in the study were applied to the following questionnaires to identify the stage of change according to the TM; Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) to evaluate the presence of anxiety and depression; 24-hours recall of multiple steps; Food consumption frequency to determine the quantity and quality of food intake and the Rapid Assessment Physical Activity Scale (RAPA), to determine the type, duration and intensity of physical activity of the subject. In addition, we measured weight, height, waist circumference, hip, and blood pressure.

Finally were described and analyzed each of the variables according to the visits in which patients were cited.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
