Mediterranean Style

Educational intervention with personalized suggestions to improve diet and physical activity

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Mediterranean Style

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

After completion of a Food Frequency Questinnaire (FFQ) and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), patients enrolled in the study undergo a personalized educational intervention by a registered dietician. During the intervention the dietician advice about the main errors in diet and physical activity (by FFQ and IPAQ) and chooses three aims in diet modification and one aim in physical activity improvement. Patients adherence is assessed by the same dietician every three months, using FFQ and IPAQ, and futher supports are provided. Total intervention lenght is twelve months.
