Study Overview

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the potential beneficial effect of wholegrain on body weight and composition as well as cardiovascular risk in overweight women.

Detailed Description

Objective

To study the effect of the 'wholegrain concept', i.e. high intake of wheat wholegrain (WW) vs. refined wheat (RW) grain products on body weight and composition.

Design: In this open-labeled randomized trial, 72 postmenopausal women with metabolic syndrome features were prescribed a mild calorie-restricted diet with a deficit of ~1,250kJ/d. Following 2 weeks run-in period on RW products, they were randomized to 12 weeks intervention with RW or WW products providing 2,000kJ/d.
