Non-communicable disease (NCD) numbers continue to increase, with coronary heart disease (CHD) causing the most illness and death. Thus, we must prevent it and improve current treatments. One way to do so is by looking at what we eat, as it is a major risk factor for CHD. The Healthy Heart Study investigates the benefits of 12-week delivery of free healthy groceries – either high in fibre or high in healthy fats – to those who recently had a major heart event such as a heart attack. My project is an initial analysis of this ongoing study, looking at fat levels in the blood, weight, body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, blood sugar and diet satisfaction after 12 weeks for 102 participants. Results from this project suggest some changes, but completion of the study is needed to quantify these changes. Findings in this study will help form innovative management of CHD.
