Key process features of personalized diet counselling in metabolic syndrome: secondary analysis of feasibility study in primary care.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Personalized diet counselling, as part of lifestyle change programs for cardiometabolic risk conditions (combinations of prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and high waist circumference) has been shown to reduce progression to type 2 diabetes overall. To identify key process of care measures that could be linked to changes in diet, we undertook a secondary analysis of a Canadian pre-post study of lifestyle treatment of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Diet counselling process measures were documented and association with diet quality changes after 3 months were assessed. Results of the primary study showed 19% reversal of MetS after 1 year.

Methods

Registered dietitians (RDs) reported on contact time, specific food behaviour goals (FBG), behaviour
