Clinical Trial Summary

This study conducted an 8-week workplace nutrition education intervention to examine the effects of the intervention on metabolic syndrome factors associated with employees. A historical intervention was designed to recruit adults with a body mass index level of >22 and without any endocrine disorder from a community in Yilan, Taiwan. The intervention group was recruited between 2010 and 2012 and received an 8-week intervention, during which dietitians delivered a nutrition education session and a one-on-one dietary guidance session on a weekly basis. The age- and sex-matched control group (n = 34) was recruited between 2014 and 2015 to analyze the metabolic syndrome variables. The metabolic syndrome variables included blood pressure, blood sugar, serum lipid profile, and waist circumference.
