Session: Outcomes of Trials to Reduce the Risks of Chronic Disease

Oral
Outcomes of Trials to Reduce the Risks of Chronic Disease
A number of clinical and community trials have been conducted in the past decade to demonstrate the utility of dietary approaches to chronic disease risk management. However, not all of these trials have delivered the expected answers regarding risk. Notably, the Women's Health Initiative did find a differential benefit of low-fat dietary patterns for reducing women's health risk. In this session Women's Health Initiative and other trials will present outcomes data from a variety of approaches and describe their conclusions about current dietary recommendations.
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to: 1. Describe the outcome of recent dietary-focused interventions to reduce the risk of chronic disease. 2. Articulate at least one of the controversies surrounding current dietary recommendations.
