NCT01195610

Brief Summary

The objective is to investigate whether New Nordic Diet (NND) versus Average Danish Diet (ADD) in adults (18-65 y) with central obesity and components of the metabolic syndrome can improve body weight loss and risk markers of the metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
