NCT01797211 | Completed Phase 4

• 1 other identifier: 01
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 60
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

To assess the effect of Mediterranean diet and some of its specific components (olive oil, non fried fish and nuts) on endothelial function in overweight and obese patients

Conditions

Cardiovascular Diseases

Keywords

Mediterranean diet; FMD; obesity; cardiovascular risk.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• 3 months outcome (composite outcome)

  Anthropometric parameters (BMI, waist circumference \[WC\] and weight) a significant decrease, while FMD ones showed a significant increase after 3 months of Mediterranean diet as compared to baseline levels. The addition per se of olive oil or non fried fish or nuts to the standard Mediterranean diet did not influence anthropometric parameters, since BMI, WC and body weight of groups A, B and C were not significant different from those of the control group. After 3 months, FMD was not higher wether olive oil or non fried fish or nuts were added to standard Mediterranean diet.
