A 12-week canteen-based intervention marginally improves lipid metabolism (decreased TG, LDL-C, ApoB; increased HDL-C) but does not significantly affect blood pressure, glucose, or insulin resistance in middle-aged adults.
While this intervention improves lipid profiles, it may not significantly impact blood pressure or blood glucose in the short term. Focus on lipid management through dietary changes if you have mild dyslipidemia.
ModerateQualifiesMEDIUM confidence
indicators of lipid metabolism, such as triglycerides... LDL-C... and apolipoprotein B... slightly decreased, whereas HDL cholesterol... increased. However, total cholesterol, blood pressure, insulin, glucose, and HOMA-IR did not differ after the intervention.
Why this rating
Single-group pre-post design; effects are marginal and may not be clinically significant for all participants.
