Randomized Controlled TrialThree-year effects on dietary quality of health education: a randomized controlled trial of people with screen-detected dysglycaemia (The ADDITION study, Denmark).
Healthy diet is a core component in prevention and self-management of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The long-term efficacy was assessed of a theory-based health education programme 'Ready to Act' on dietary quality in people with screen-detected dysglycaemia. ⋯ Health education aiming at action competence improved the long-term dietary quality in a population with dysglycaemia, especially according to the intake of unsaturated fat. The ADDITION trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov ID no NCT00237549.
