Abstract
- Objective: To evaluate a model for dietary treatment of hyperlipidaemia in primary health care.<br />Design: The participating men received their initial dietary instructions from a dietitian, in a group, together with their wives. Thereafter the nurses used a checklist to evaluate dietary compliance throughout the year. The participants completed a simplified food frequency questionnaire six times during the study period.<br />Results: Throughout the year the total body weight, body mass index (BMI), total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio decreased significantly. HDL cholesterol was significantly increased after one year.<br />Setting: The Industrial Health Care Centre, Ovansiljans Företagshälsovård AB in Mora, Sweden.<br />Participants: 35 men, aged 39-63 years (mean 51), with hyperlipidaemia, discovered at a health survey of persons attending an industrial health care centre.<br />Conclusion: A simplified model for treatment of hyperlipidaemic patients can improve the dietary habits in the long term.
