Abstract
This study examined the association of weekly plant-based medically tailored groceries (MTGs) with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic outcomes among patients with food insecurity. The intervention began on December 20, 2019, and ended on April 1, 2025 (275 weeks). Linear mixed-effects models estimated the dose-dependent association of MTGs received and the rates of changes in blood pressure, glycated hemoglobin A1c, weight, and body mass index from baseline to follow-up periods. Among 68 adults, during an average of 2.7 years, each 100 MTGs received was associated with a greater improvement from baseline to follow-up periods in the rates of changes in diastolic blood pressure (-3.21 mm Hg; 95% CI, -4.89 to -1.52), weight (-2.63 kg; 95% CI, -3.73 to -1.53), and body mass index (-1.04 kg/m2; 95% CI, -1.50 to -0.58).
期刊介绍:
Preventing Chronic Disease (PCD) is a peer-reviewed electronic journal established by the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. The mission of PCD is to promote the open exchange of information and knowledge among researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and others who strive to improve the health of the public through chronic disease prevention. The vision of PCD is to be the premier forum where practitioners and policy makers inform research and researchers help practitioners and policy makers more effectively improve the health of the population. Articles focus on preventing and controlling chronic diseases and conditions, promoting health, and examining the biological, behavioral, physical, and social determinants of health and their impact on quality of life, morbidity, and mortality across the life span.
