摘要：We examined how dietary habits (i.e., intake of nutrients and food groups) were changed by intervention and how once adopted diets were maintained thereafter using the data of a 12-wk worksite dietary intervention trial for men at high risk of coro-nary heart disease (i.e., hypercholesterolemia, hyperglycemia, and/or overweight). Dietary habits were assessed pre- and post-intervention and 1 y follow-up points using a self-admin-istered diet history questionnaire. The intervention method was a brief individual counsel-ing based on the results of a pre-intervention assessment and a weekly distribution of newsletters. At the pre- and post-intervention points, a control group selected from the workers was used for comparison. The Keys score, and the changes in intake of saturated fatty acids (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acid, total fat, and cholesterol (the decrease), as well as dietary fiber, potassium, calcium, and iron (the increase) were significantly different between the intervention ( n =63) and control ( n =123) groups ( p <0.05). The changes were almost maintained with little recidivism at the 1y follow-up point in the intervention group (i.e., for the decrease in SFA and Keys score, p <0.001). The decrease in serum cholesterol level expected from the change in Keys score and body weight, taking possible regression to the mean into consideration, was almost identical to and slightly greater than (18%) those observed at the post-intervention and 1y follow-up points, respectively. The results suggest that the favorable changes in dietary habits adopted during an intervention period were al-most maintained for the subsequent 1y period.
