Diet-related chronic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia have affected millions of individuals, resulting in disease-related complications and mortality. Strategies that may improve the outcome of chronic disease management include modification of lifestyle risk factors such as unhealthy diets. TEACH Kitchen is an experiential education program related to community nutrition, the goal of which is to teach patients management of chronic disease through dietary change.
Adults (n=144) ≥18 years old and their children (n=144) 7-17 years old will complete four 2-hour sessions. Components of each session will include brief nutrition education (20 min), an interactive cooking session (1 hr), and after-dinner discussion (40 min). Pre- and post-session questionnaires will be administered to all participants for self-reported demographics, knowledge, attitude, and beliefs about healthy nutrition. Medical records will be used to collect information about adult participants' demographics and clinical indicators (hemoglobin A1c, lipid profile, blood pressure, weight, height, and body mass index [BMI]). Descriptive analyses will be performed to determine socio-demographic characteristics using frequencies and proportions for all categorical data, and means for continuous variables. T-tests and multiple logistic regression analysis will be accomplished to compare the differences in means.
Differences in the pre- and post-session knowledge, attitude, and beliefs related to healthy eating will be evaluated for adults and children. The anticipated outcomes include enhanced education promoting healthy eating in the community, prevention of chronic disease complications related to poor diet, and prevention of obesity-related chronic diseases in children.
Enhancement of chronic disease management among patients, and the prevention of obesity among children, can be accomplished through healthy cooking and diet.
与饮食相关的慢性疾病，如糖尿病、高血压和高脂血症，已经影响了数百万人，导致了与疾病相关的并发症和死亡。可能改善慢性病管理结果的策略包括改变生活方式风险因素，如不健康饮食。TEACH厨房是一个与社区营养相关的体验式教育项目，其目标是通过饮食改变来教授患者慢性病管理。
18岁及以上的成年人（n = 144）及其7至17岁的子女（n = 144）将完成四个2小时的课程。每个课程的组成部分将包括简短的营养教育（20分钟）、互动烹饪课程（1小时）和晚餐后讨论（40分钟）。会前和会后问卷将发放给所有参与者，以获取他们自我报告的人口统计学信息、关于健康营养的知识、态度和信念。医疗记录将用于收集成年参与者的人口统计学信息和临床指标（糖化血红蛋白、血脂谱、血压、体重、身高和体重指数[BMI]）。将进行描述性分析，使用所有分类数据的频率和比例以及连续变量的均值来确定社会人口统计学特征。将进行t检验和多元逻辑回归分析以比较均值差异。
将评估成年人和儿童在会前和会后与健康饮食相关的知识、态度和信念的差异。预期结果包括加强社区促进健康饮食的教育、预防与不良饮食相关的慢性病并发症以及预防儿童肥胖相关的慢性病。
通过健康烹饪和饮食可以加强患者的慢性病管理，并预防儿童肥胖。
