OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of a 3-month follow-up of a 6-month quasi-experimental study conducted to evaluate a web-based, tailored-feedback intervention promoting four key components of the Mediterranean diet. METHODS: Fifty-three (intervention) and nineteen (control) healthy females, 25-55 years, employed at two Universities in Glasgow, Scotland, between 2003 and 2004 participated. Participants received tailored dietary and psychosocial feedback and Internet education, or minimal dietary feedback and general healthy-eating brochures, respectively. Dietary intake using 7d-estimated food diaries and blood lipids were assessed at baseline, 6 (post-test) and 9 months (follow-up). RESULTS: Intention-to-treat analyses for between-group comparisons over time showed that the intervention group had increased their vegetable intake over 9 months and had more favourable levels of HDL-cholesterol and ratio of total:HDL-cholesterol over the 9-month assessment, compared with the control group. Within-group comparisons showed that, except for fruit consumption, the intervention group sustained their dietary improvement at 9 months, compared with baseline. CONCLUSION: This intervention proved successful at sustaining most of the favourable dietary and blood lipid profile changes achieved over the 6-month intervention at the 3-month follow-up. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: This intervention can be effective in promoting a Mediterranean-style diet in work settings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","mots_cles":[],"class_list":["post-43544","resume","type-resume","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"adresse":"Preventive Medicine and Nutrition Clinic, Department of Social Medicine, Medical School, University of Crete, Crete, Greece. agpapadak@edu.med.uoc.gr","annee":"2008","mois":"11","numero":"73:2","page":"256-63","auteurs":[{"ID":7877,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 17:53:51","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 16:53:51","post_content":"","post_title":"Angeliki Papadaki","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"angeliki-papadaki","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 17:53:51","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 16:53:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/angeliki-papadaki\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11045,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 18:30:31","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 17:30:31","post_content":"","post_title":"Jane Anne Scott","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jane-anne-scott","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 18:30:31","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 17:30:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/jane-anne-scott\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"sources":[{"ID":43543,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-04 03:08:39","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-04 02:08:39","post_content":"","post_title":"Patient education and counseling","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"patient-education-and-counseling","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-04 03:08:39","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-04 02:08:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/source\/patient-education-and-counseling\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"source","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}]},"yoast_head":"\n
