Abstract:
The programme aimed to improve selected cardiometabolic risk (CMR) variables using a nutritional intervention among farmers who reported hypertensive disorders as hindrances during agricultural activities. The intervention had two case controls (n = 103) [experimental group-EG (n = 53) and control group-CG (n = 50)] which were tracked and whose blood pressure measurements, dietary intake, blood indices for cholesterol concentration and glucose levels from pre- and post-intervention surveys after the baseline survey (n = 112) were analysed. The interval for data collection was 12 weeks (±120 days) after five legume varieties were consumed between 3 and 5 times a day, and servings were not <125 g per at least three times per week. Sixty-five per cent of farmers were above 60 years old, with mean age ranges of 63.3 (SD ± 6.3) years for women and 67.2 (SD ± 6.7) for men. The post-intervention survey revealed that EG blood results indicated nutrient improvement with p <= 0.05 for blood glucose (p = 0.003) and cholesterol (p = 0.001) as opposed to the CG. A trend analysis revealed that cholesterol (p = 0.033) and systolic blood pressure (SBP); (p = 0.013) were statistically significant when comparing genders for all study phases. Interventions focusing on legumes can improve hypertension and cardiovascular disease and fast-track the achievement of SGDs 3 and 12 through community-based programmes.
摘要:
该计划旨在通过在农业活动中报告高血压疾病为障碍的农民中进行营养干预来改善选定的心脏代谢风险(CMR)变量。干预有两个病例对照(n=103)[实验组-EG(n=53)和对照组-CG(n=50)],它们被跟踪并测量血压,饮食摄入量,分析了基线调查后干预前后调查的血液胆固醇浓度和血糖水平指数(n=112).每天食用5个豆类品种3至5次,数据收集间隔为12周(±120天),并且每周至少三次的份数不<125g。百分之六十五的农民年龄在六十岁以上,女性的平均年龄为63.3(SD±6.3)岁,男性为67.2(SD±6.7)岁。干预后调查显示,与CG相比,EG血液结果表明血糖(p=0.003)和胆固醇(p=0.001)的营养改善,p<=0.05。趋势分析显示,在比较所有研究阶段的性别时,胆固醇(p=0.033)和收缩压(SBP);(p=0.013)具有统计学意义。以豆类为重点的干预措施可以改善高血压和心血管疾病,并通过社区计划快速实现SGD3和SGD12。
