Effectiveness of Personalized Nutrition Advice Delivered Via Dietary Consultations for Optimizing Dietary Calcium Intake in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Monitored as Outpatients: a Randomized, Single-blind, Bicentric Study
Abstract
The main objective of this study is to measure effectiveness at 6 months of personalized dietary advice versus dietary counseling via delivery of a standard advice sheet for optimizing dietary calcium intake (assessed by a food survey based on CIQUAL\* data) in MS patients with ambulatory monitoring.
\*CIQUAL Data: Table of nutritional food composition available on the ANSES (National Agency for Sanitary Security of Food, Environment and Labour) website, published by the Observatory of the Nutritional Quality of Foods. This table includes 1,500 sheets of 58 nutritional components. The data is integrated into the software for calculating ingesta (DATAMEAL) at the Nîmes University Hospital.
Conditions: Multiple Sclerosis.
Primary outcome: Calcium intake in mg per day; Calcium intake in mg per day.
Enrollment: 182 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 182 participants or records.
