What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating how different dietary patterns relate to cardiometabolic health in adults living in Rosario, Argentina. This observational study compares adults following vegan, vegetarian, and omnivorous diets. It aims to understand differences in diet characteristics and cardiometabolic risk profiles, providing insights into potential health benefits and risks tied to each diet type. Participants are grouped into vegan, vegetarian, or omnivorous categories based on their reported consumption of meat, dairy, and eggs. The study collects extensive data, including demographic, medical, dietary, and biochemical information. Diet is recorded over three days and analyzed for nutrient composition. Blood samples are taken after fasting to measure various metabolic and cardiovascular biomarkers. Physical exams include blood pressure, body measurements, and grip strength. During the study, adults complete questionnaires covering physical activity, quality of life, and diet satisfaction. Researchers assess numerous outcome measures such as cholesterol levels, glucose, insulin resistance, inflammatory markers, vitamin and mineral status, body composition, and blood pressure. Data collection occurs from December 2025 to December 2027. The study monitors participants' dietary and health profiles to compare across diet groups and understand cardiometabolic health indicators.
