Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Reduction in total cholesterol levels (TC), reduction of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglyceride levels as well as increased levels of lipoprotein cholesterol high density (HDL-C) in the group under intervention.<br><br><br>Serum levels of TC, HDLc and TG were determined by enzymatic methods and LDLc by the Friedewald formula when TG levels were lower than 400 mg/dL. <br><br>Several multivariate regression models (Generalised Estimating Equation -GEE)were applied for each outcome variable (TG, TC, HDLc, LDLc). <br><br><br>;Students under intervention presented decreases of 7.64 mg/dL in mean total cholesterol (TC) (p=0.009) and 7.77 mg/dL in mean low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc) (p=0.003) compared with students who did not undergo intervention<br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Reduction and / or adequacy of anthropometric measures in the group under intervention (weight, height, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist height (RCE)). Furthermore, increased consumption of healthy foods <br>(fruits and vegetables) in the group under intervention.<br><br><br><br>The anthropometric measurements were obtained through scale, stadiometer and tape.The intake was assessed by a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ).<br><br>Several multivariate regression models (Generalised Estimating Equation-GEE) were applied for each outcome variable (weight, BMI, WC, RCE and food consumption .;Students under intervention exhibited increases of 18% in legume consumption (OR = 1.18; 95%CI 1.03-1.37) and 17% in vegetable consumption (OR = 1.17, 95%CI 1.01-1.35) compared with those who did not undergo intervention at the end of the 9-month follow-up. <br>No differences were noted in the anthropometric parameters studied.
