P Results: The differences between DDS of grain, fruit, vegetable and meat before and after nutritioncounseling were not significant (P=0.635, P=0.423, P=0.826, P=0.207 respectively), butdifferences of DDS for dairy and total DDS before and after nutrition counseling were significant (P=0, P=0.001).
