You may qualify if…
- Eligibility required documentation of a LDL-cholesterol level of 130 mg/dL or higher within the 12 months prior to enrollment. Potential subjects were also required to have access to the Internet and an active email account. The use of lipid lowering drugs was not an exclusion, but patients taking these drugs had be on the same medication and dose for at least 3 months prior to enrollment, with no changes anticipated for the duration of the trial.
You may not qualify if…
- We excluded patients with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (defined by HbA1c>9%), serum creatinine above 1.5 mg/dL, malignancy, cirrhosis, eating disorders, acute coronary syndrome in the last three months, congestive heart failure NYHA class lll and lV, ongoing warfarin therapy, uncontrolled hypo- or hyperthyroidism, ongoing weight loss, history of bariatric surgery, pregnant women, and patients who scored more than 250 (on a scale of 100 to 300) on a food frequency questionnaire administered on the day of enrollment. Patients with a history of triglycerides >400 mg/dl were also excluded, since we used the Friedewald formula [LDL-C=Total cholesterol-(TGs/5+HDL-C)] to calculate LDL-cholesterol levels.
