Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in Nutrition Knowledge

Time Frame: Baseline, 12 months

The General Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire is an 88-item scale that has a scoring range of 0 to 88 with a high score indicating more knowledge of nutrition.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Change in Cardiometabolic Biomarkers - Very-low-density lipoprotein(Baseline, 12 months)
  • Change in Cardiometabolic Biomarkers - Potassium(Baseline, 12 months)
  • Change in Cardiometabolic Biomarkers - Blood Urea Nitrogen(Baseline, 12 months)
  • Change in Cardiometabolic Biomarkers -Triglycerides(Baseline, 12 months)
  • Change in Cardiometabolic Biomarkers -High-density lipoprotein cholesterol(Baseline, 12 months)
  • Change in Cardiometabolic Biomarkers - Chloride(Baseline, 12 months)
  • Change in Cardiometabolic Biomarkers - Glucose(Baseline, 12 months)
  • Change in Cardiometabolic Biomarkers - Total Cholesterol(Baseline, 12 months)
  • Change in Cardiometabolic Biomarkers - Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol(Baseline, 12 months)
  • Change in Cardiometabolic Biomarkers - Hemoglobin a1c(Baseline, 12 months)
  • Change in Cardiometabolic Biomarkers - Insulin(Baseline, 12 months)
  • Change in Cardiometabolic Biomarkers - Fasting Sodium(Baseline, 12 months)
