Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Effects on metabolic variables

    Effects of adherence to Mediterranean Diet in determining a change in serum levels of some metabolic variables (glucose blood levels in mg/dl, serum LDL cholesterol in mg/dl, serum Total cholesterol in mg/dl, serum triglycerides in mg/dl) from baseline to 12 months.

    Baseline to 12 months

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • effects on serum resistin serum levels

    Baseline to 12 months

  • effects on serum ceramides.

    Baseline to 12 months

  • effects on adiponectin serum levels

    Baseline to 12 months

  • Effects on surrogate cardiovascular marker (endothelial dysfunction)

    Baseline to 12 months

  • Effects on arterial stiffness indexes

    Baseline to 12 months

  • +2 more secondary outcomes
