Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| A weight loss of 5% in relation to the current weight is expected, using the weight assessment at baseline and after the intervention. The participant is asked to appear on the day wearing light clothing, such as a t-shirt and gym shorts. Weight measurements are made according to the original technique recommended by LOHMAN (1988), assessed twice by the same researcher, with the measurement recorded in kg.;A reduction in glycated hemoglobin is expected by measuring fasting HbA1c before and after the intervention. Blood samples will be collected by a legally qualified professional, through a 20 mL aliquot of the cubital vein (estimated duration of 5 minutes/person), always early in the morning, after a period of 8 to 12 hours of fasting, on the same day as the scheduled nutritional consultations.;It is expected that the population will experience an increase in the consumption of minimally processed foods and a reduction in ultra-processed foods, using the qualitative food frequency questionnaire method adapted from FURLAN-VIEBIG; PASTOR-VALERO (2004), which includes some regional foods from the state of Pernambuco. Consumption will be assessed based on the frequency of daily consumption of the food groups, before and after the intervention.;It is expected to achieve an increase in the weekly time dedicated to physical activity by collecting information using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), in its short version (MATSUDO et al., 2012). The questionnaire includes questions related to the time spent walking, moderate and vigorous activity in the week prior to the interview, including activities carried out at work, transportation, leisure, sports or domestic activities. | — |
