Structured advice provided by a dietitian increases adherence of consumers to diet and lifestyle changes and lowers blood low ‐density lipoprotein (LDL)‐cholesterol: the Increasing Adherence of Consumers to Diet & Lifestyle Changes to Lower (LDL) Cholesterol (ACT) randomised controlled trial

ConclusionsAlthough structured counselling by dietitians and common standard advice by physicians were equally effective with respect to improving blood cholesterol after 6 weeks, dietitians were more effective in the longer‐term (i.e. 6 weeks after the end of the intervention period).
