Unhealthy dietary pattern including high dietary sugar intake is responsible for the cardiometabolic-related deaths. Nonetheless, adherence to the recommendation is low, and appropriate nutrition education to reduce sugar consumption is scarce.
This proposed project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a nutrition education module in modifying sugar consumption and other cardiometabolic risk (CMR)-related outcomes in individuals with CMR.
This is an open-label, 3-group parallel-randomized controlled trial that will be conducted in Universiti Putra Malaysia, Serdang, Malaysia. Participants will be equally randomized into three groups. Participants in the Control Group (n = 35) would receive no intervention and undergo usual follow-up. In comparison, those participants in the Intervention Groups (n = 70) would receive nutrition education to modify sugars consumption. They will also be given either refined white sugar (n = 35), or Minimally Refined Brown Sugar (n = 35) for daily consumption throughout a six-month study period. Measurements include socio-demographic status, medical characteristics, nutritional status, lifestyle practices, Health Belief Model constructs, and knowledge of healthy diet will be measured at baseline, first- (V1), third- (V3) and sixth-month (V6) intervals.
Participants of both Intervention Group aiming for sugar intake modification, would have lower sugar consumption and better CMR-related outcomes than the Control Group. Since Minimally Refined Brown Sugar contains fair amount of antioxidants, participants of Intervention Group (Minimally Refined Brown Sugar) will have better CMR-related outcomes than participants of Intervention Group (white sugar) at the end of the study.
不健康的饮食模式，包括高糖摄入，是导致与心血管代谢相关死亡的原因。尽管如此，人们对该建议的遵循程度较低，且缺乏适当的营养教育来减少糖的摄入。
本拟议项目旨在评估营养教育模块在改变心血管代谢风险（CMR）相关个体的糖消耗和其他 CMR 相关结果方面的有效性。
这是一项在马来西亚赛城的马来西亚博特拉大学进行的开放性、3 组平行随机对照试验。参与者将被平均随机分为三组。对照组（n=35）的参与者将不接受任何干预，并进行常规随访。相比之下，干预组（n=70）的参与者将接受营养教育来改变糖的消耗。他们还将在六个月的研究期间内每天食用精制白砂糖（n=35）或最低精制红糖（n=35）。测量包括社会人口统计学状况、医疗特征、营养状况、生活方式实践、健康信念模型结构以及对健康饮食的知识，将在基线、第一次（V1）、第三次（V3）和第六个月（V6）间隔进行测量。
旨在改变糖摄入的两组干预组的参与者的糖摄入量会更低，CMR 相关结果会更好。由于最低精制红糖含有相当数量的抗氧化剂，因此在研究结束时，干预组（最低精制红糖）的参与者的 CMR 相关结果将优于干预组（白糖）的参与者。
