Abstract
Background—It has been recognized that poor adherence can be a serious risk to the health and
wellbeing of patients, and greater adherence to dietary advice is a critical component in preventing
and managing chronic diseases.
Objectives—To assess the effects of interventions for enhancing adherence to dietary advice for
preventing and managing chronic diseases in adults.
Search methods—We searched the following electronic databases up to 29 September 2010:
The Cochrane Library (issue 9 2010), PubMed, EMBASE (Embase.com), CINAHL (Ebsco) and
PsycINFO (PsycNET) with no language restrictions. We also reviewed: a) recent years of relevant
conferences, symposium and colloquium proceedings and abstracts; b) web-based registries of
clinical trials; and c) the bibliographies of included studies.
Selection criteria—We included randomized controlled trials that evaluated interventions
enhancing adherence to dietary advice for preventing and managing chronic diseases in adults.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PROTOCOL AND REVIEW
The protocol was published in 2010 (Desroches 2010).
Types of interventions: Multiple interventions are now defined as those with two or more interventions.
Pubmed search strategy: Food habit*[TIAB] or Feeding behaviour*[TIAB] or Eating behaviour*[TIAB] were added to the Pubmed
search strategy.
Assessment of reporting biases: publication bias using funnel plot was not explored since multiple adherence outcome measures were
reported in several studies and could not be pooled together.

Studies were eligible if the primary outcome was the client’s adherence to dietary advice. We
defined ‘client’ as an adult participating in a chronic disease prevention or chronic disease
management study involving dietary advice.
Data collection and analysis—Two review authors independently assessed the eligibility of
the studies. They also assessed the risk of bias and extracted data using a modified version of the
Cochrane Consumers and Communication Review Group data extraction template. Any
discrepancies in judgement were resolved by discussion and consensus, or with a third review
author. Because the studies differed widely with respect to interventions, measures of diet
adherence, dietary advice, nature of the chronic diseases and duration of interventions and follow-
up, we conducted a qualitative analysis. We classified included studies according to the function of
the intervention and present results in a narrative table using vote counting for each category of
intervention.
Main results—We included 38 studies involving 9445 participants. Among studies that
measured diet adherence outcomes between an intervention group and a control/usual care group,
32 out of 123 diet adherence outcomes favoured the intervention group, 4 favoured the control
group whereas 62 had no significant difference between groups (assessment was impossible for 25
diet adherence outcomes since data and/or statistical analyses needed for comparison between
groups were not provided). Interventions shown to improve at least one diet adherence outcome
are: telephone follow-up, video, contract, feedback, nutritional tools and more complex
interventions including multiple interventions. However, these interventions also shown no
difference in some diet adherence outcomes compared to a control/usual care group making
inconclusive results about the most effective intervention to enhance dietary advice. The majority
of studies reporting a diet adherence outcome favouring the intervention group compared to the
control/usual care group in the short-term also reported no significant effect at later time points.
Studies investigating interventions such as a group session, individual session, reminders,
restriction and behaviour change techniques reported no diet adherence outcome showing a
statistically significant difference favouring the intervention group. Finally, studies were generally
of short duration and low quality, and adherence measures varied widely.
Authors’ conclusions—There is a need for further, long-term, good-quality studies using more
standardized and validated measures of adherence to identify the interventions that should be used
in practice to enhance adherence to dietary advice in the context of a variety of chronic diseases.
PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY
Interventions to enhance adherence to dietary advice for preventing and managing chronic
diseases in adults
Chronic diseases are the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Although the adoption of a
healthy diet is recognized as an important component for their prevention and management,
many individuals at risk of or having chronic diseases do not adhere to recommended dietary
advice. The methods used to facilitate changes in dietary habits through dietary advice
(defined in this review as ‘interventions’) could improve adherence of clients to dietary
advice. Therefore, we reviewed trials of interventions aiming to enhance adherence to
dietary advice for preventing and managing chronic diseases in adults.

We identified 38 studies involving 9445 participants examining several types of
interventions for enhancing adherence to dietary advice for preventing and managing many
chronic diseases. The main chronic diseases involved were cardiovascular diseases, diabetes,
hypertension, and renal diseases. Interventions shown to improve at least one diet adherence
outcome are: telephone follow-up, video, contract, feedback, nutritional tools and more
complex interventions including multiple interventions. However, these interventions also
showed no difference in some diet adherence outcomes compared to a control/usual care
group making the results inconclusive about the most effective intervention to enhance
dietary advice. Interestingly, all studies including clients with renal diseases reported at least
one diet adherence outcome showing a statistically significant difference favouring the
intervention group, no matter which intervention was provided. The majority of studies
reporting a diet adherence outcome favouring the intervention group compared to the
control/usual care group in the short-term also reported no significant effect at later time
points. Studies investigating interventions such as a group session, individual session,
reminders, restriction and behaviour change techniques reported no diet adherence outcome
showing a statistically significant difference favouring the intervention group. Finally,
interventions were generally of short duration, studies used different methods for measuring
adherence and the quality of the studies was generally low.
BACKGROUND
Description of the condition
Chronic diseases are defined as diseases of long duration that have generally a slow
progression (WHO 2008). The most common chronic diseases include diabetes,
cardiovascular diseases (CVD), cancers, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases
(COPD), arthritis, obesity and renal failure. Considering that chronic diseases are the leading
cause of death and disability and account for 60\% of all deaths worldwide (WHO 2008), the
Department of Chronic Disease and Health Promotion of the World Health Organization
(WHO) emphasizes the importance of preventing and managing chronic diseases and their
risk factors (WHO 2010). Some health conditions have been found to be risk factors, for
example, patients with the metabolic syndrome have an increased risk of developing CVD
(Mottillo 2010). Similarly, women with a previous history of gestational diabetes have an
increased risk of developing type II diabetes (Bellamy 2009). These risk factors may be
targeted in interventions aiming to prevent chronic diseases.
Evidence from epidemiologic, experimental and clinical studies has demonstrated a strong
relationship between dietary patterns or nutrient intakes, and prevention and management of
chronic diseases including diabetes (Champagne 2009), CVD (Lavie 2009), and obesity
(Kennedy 2004). Several authoritative health agencies have recommended the adoption of a
healthy diet as the cornerstone in preventing and/or managing chronic diseases such as CVD
(Lichtenstein 2006), diabetes (Bantle 2008) and cancer (Kushi 2006). For example, lifestyle
interventions including dietary changes were shown to reduce the incidence of diabetes by
58\% compared to a control group in individuals at high risk in two large randomized
controlled trials (RCTs): the Finnish Diabetes Prevention study (Lindstrom 2003) and the
Diabetes Prevention Program (Knowler 2002). In line with this, dietitians and other health

professionals provide people with dietary advice designed to improve their nutritional intake
(Baldwin 2011).
The concept of ‘adherence’ recognizes the patient’s right to choose whether or not to follow
advice, and implies a patient’s active participation in the treatment regimen (Cohen 2009).
For chronic disease management including medication and lifestyle changes, non-adherence
rates are estimated to be between 50\% and 80\% (WHO 2003). Thus, poor adherence can be
a serious threat to patients’ health and wellbeing (DiMatteo 2002), and also carries an
economic burden (DiMatteo 2004a). Adherence is particularly important in the context of
chronic diseases requiring long-term therapy and a number of permanent rather than
temporary changes in lifestyle behaviours, such as diet, physical activity and smoking
(WHO 2003). The extent to which risk-reduction interventions proved to be as effective in
research settings as in individuals’ real-life settings depends on the patient’s adherence to
treatment advice. In that regard, results from an RCT assessing adherence to and
effectiveness of four popular diets (Atkins, Zone, Weight Watchers, and Ornish) revealed
that level of adherence to dietary advice, rather than the type of diet, was the key
determinant of greater weight loss and CVD risk factor reductions (Dansinger 2005).
Whether the number of intervention goals that an individual has to reach influences
adherence was also addressed in a secondary analysis of the PREMIER study (Young 2009).
In this RCT that tested the effects of two multicomponent lifestyle interventions on blood
pressure control, the authors reported that individuals with the most physical activity and
dietary behaviour goals to achieve reached the most goals (Young 2009).
Measurement of adherence to prescribed dietary advice typically involves: 1) assessment of
what the client eats through self-reported methods (e.g. 24-hour recall, food records, food
frequency questionnaires, diet history); and 2) determination of the degree to which the diet
approximates the recommended dietary plan (e.g. difference between clients’ recommended
macronutrient goals and their self-reported intake). Although sparsely used, more objective
measures of adherence to diets also exist (e.g. 24-hour urinary sodium excretion to assess
adherence to a low sodium diet (Chung 2008)). However, there is no gold standard for the
accurate determination of dietary intake. Self-report of energy intake is a characteristic
inherent to nutrition-related topics and is found to be underestimated compared to objective
measures such as resting energy expenditure assessed by indirect calorimetry (Asbeck
2002). Underreporting energy intake has been observed more frequently in women versus
men, (Johnson 1994), in older versus young (Huang 2005), and in obese versus normal
weight individuals (Briefel 1997). Although self-report measures are often regarded as
susceptible to bias (e.g. over reliance on memory; report error related to meal composition or
portion sizes; daily dietary variability; social desirability) (Kumanyika 2000; Wilson 2005)
they are a direct, simple and inexpensive method (DiMatteo 2004b), and are readily
available for use in practice. Self-report measures can be improved and validated by using
multiple measures of adherence and controlling statistically for bias or by using constructs
such as body weight, blood pressure or plasma cholesterol concentrations (Hebert 2001;
DiMatteo 2004b).

Description of the intervention
Adherence to dietary advice has been shown to vary according to gender (Chung 2006),
socio-economic status (Reid 1984) and ethnicity (Natarajan 2009). Moreover, numerous
barriers to client adherence in health care have been identified. Among them are complexity
of treatment plan, and clients’ knowledge of disease and understanding of the importance of
treatment in its control and in preventing adverse outcomes (Makaryus 2005; Harmon 2006;
Robinson 2008). According to a WHO report, “interventions for removing barriers to
adherence must become a central component of efforts to improve population health
worldwide” (WHO 2003). Although non-adherence is often attributed to clients who are
viewed as “non cooperative”, “non compliant” and “unable to follow instructions” (Kapur
2008), it is increasingly recognized that health professionals may help their clients overcome
barriers to adherence (Harmon 2006) by improving how they approach their clients’
problems, how they provide advice, and how they involve their clients in treatment decision
making. Although there is a wide diversity of interventions for enhancing adherence to
dietary advice, their underlying aim is to prompt change to facilitate the adoption of
recommended dietary behaviours.
How the intervention might work
Behaviour change theories have proved useful for explaining health-related behaviours,
including dietary behaviours. They attempt to identify the determinants that will contribute
to predict the adoption of a specific behaviour, and which should be taken into account when
developing a behaviour change intervention, such as a method for providing dietary advice.
Several models or theories to predict behaviour change can be used in health-related
interventions, such as the Health Belief Model (Rosenstock 1974), the Theory of Planned
Behaviour (Ajzen 1991), the Theory of Reasoned Action (Fishbein 1981) and the Social
Cognitive Theory (Bandura 1986). More recently, Michie 2011 proposed a framework, the
COM-B system, which includes three principal interrelated components of the determination
of a behaviour: 1) the motivation (the direct brain process leading to a behaviour), 2) the
capability (the individual’s psychological and physical capacity to engage a behaviour) and
3) the opportunity (the factors that lie outside the individual that make the behaviour
possible or not) (Michie 2011). The authors also developed a system for characterizing
behaviour change interventions and their components in order to facilitate the identification
of the effective behaviour change interventions and the implementation of evidence-based
practice in this area. According to this system, behaviour change interventions can be
classified as nine intervention functions: education, persuasion, incentivisation, coercion,
training, restriction, environmental restructuring, modelling and enablement (Michie 2011).
These theories or models focus on different determinants or combinations of determinants of
the behaviours which could be helpful for developing interventions for enhancing adherence
to dietary advice.
Why it is important to do this review
As greater adherence to dietary advice is a critical component in preventing and managing
chronic diseases, research is needed to identify the characteristics of interventions that will
result in a better agreement between health professionals’ evidence-based dietary advice,

and their clients’ eating patterns. Despite growing recognition that non-adherence to dietary
advice is a barrier to getting new nutrition knowledge into practice, previous knowledge
syntheses have provided decision makers and knowledge users with little practical guidance
on the development of useable interventions for enhancing adherence to dietary advice.
Studies have reported on interventions designed to enhance adherence to dietary advice by
overcoming barriers to adherence. Although some studies have reported positive effects of
interventions to enhance adherence to dietary advice, no systematic review specifically
assesses dietary interventions that lead to sustained dietary changes or that refer to a wide
array of chronic diseases. Haynes 2008 summarized the results of RCTs of interventions to
help clients adhere to prescriptions for medications for medical problems, and excluded
interventions targeting dietary advice. Bosch-Capblanch 2007 systematically reviewed the
effects of contracts between clients and health professionals for improving clients’
adherence to treatment, prevention and health promotion activities. Although this review is
relevant to our review, it reported only the effect of contracts (as opposed to other
interventions), and was not specific to dietary advice. Several non-Cochrane reviews may
overlap with our review, but these are not systematic (Brownell 1995b; Brownell 1995a;
Burke 1997; Newell 2000; Fappa 2008) and/or are related to only one health condition and
not specifically targeting dietary advice (Burke 1997; Newell 2000; Fappa 2008).
This review will improve the knowledge base for adherence to dietary advice; a topic of
immense importance for dietetics practice that will also be relevant to clients, and other
health professionals.
OBJECTIVES
To assess the effects of interventions for enhancing adherence to dietary advice for
preventing and managing chronic diseases in adults.
METHODS
Criteria for considering studies for this review
Types of studies—Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) including cluster RCTs. Because
interventions for enhancing adherence to dietary advice aim to initiate dietary changes, a
cross-over design in which each client received all interventions could induce a carry-over
effect. Therefore, we excluded studies including a cross-over design.
Types of participants—Clients, aged 18 years and over, in real-life settings. We define
‘client’ as an adult participating in a chronic disease prevention or chronic disease
management study involving dietary advice. We included clients who had a diet related-
chronic disease (e.g. obesity, cardiovascular disease, renal failure, hypertension) or at least
one risk factor for a chronic disease (e.g. overweight, hyper-lipidaemia). We included family
or non-family caregivers such as wife/husband or individual living with the client and
involved in meal planning and preparation. We also included studies involving health
professionals delivering dietary advice.

Types of interventions—We included studies assessing the effects of a single
intervention or multiple interventions involving chronic disease prevention and management,
on adherence to dietary advice. ‘Intervention’ was defined as the method used to facilitate
changes in dietary habits through dietary advice. To structure the presentation of results, we
grouped interventions according to the intervention functions of the behaviour change wheel
developed by Michie and colleagues (Michie 2011). Therefore, we classified interventions to
enhance adherence to dietary advice as:
• Education (increasing knowledge or understanding);
• Persuasion (using communication to induce positive or negative feelings or
stimulate action);
• Incentivisation (creating expectation of reward);
• Coercion (creating expectation of punishment or cost);
• Training (imparting skills);
• Restriction (using rules to reduce the opportunity to engage in the target
behaviour);
• Environmental restructuring (changing the physical or social context);
• Modelling (providing an example for people to aspire to or imitate);
• Enablement (increasing means/reducing barriers to increase capability or
opportunity);
• Multiple (combination of two or more different interventions).
We included studies making the following comparisons:
• Single intervention for enhancing adherence to dietary advice versus no
intervention (control) or a reference standard of care (usual care);
• Single intervention for enhancing adherence to dietary advice versus single or
multiple interventions with a similar purpose (to enhance adherence to dietary
advice);
• Multiple interventions for enhancing adherence to dietary advice versus no
intervention (control) or a reference standard of care (usual care);
• Multiple interventions for enhancing adherence to dietary advice versus single or
multiple interventions for enhancing adherence to dietary advice.
The term ‘reference standard of care’ refers to the usual dietary intervention performed to
address a specific health condition. For example, in Amato 1990 two approaches were used
with patients who were severely obese using the same dietary advice: 1) weight loss advice
versus 2) weight loss advice combined with psychotherapy. The approach with weight loss
advice was the reference standard of care while the approach with weight loss advice
combined with psychotherapy was the intervention for enhancing adherence to dietary
advice. Furthermore, only studies comparing interventions with the same dietary advice
component (e.g. increase consumption of fruits and vegetables, decrease fat intake) but

differing in terms of the method for changing dietary habits through dietary advice (e.g.
education (counselling and follow-up with health professional, educational tools)) were
included. We excluded studies assessing adherence to dietary advice for which interventions
were not a method for facilitating changes in dietary habits through dietary advice (e.g.
medication for weight loss, exercise, etc.). We excluded studies that aimed primarily to
evaluate the effects of an experimental diet or a food plan on health outcomes, and for which
adherence was monitored as a secondary outcome to justify, for example, the validity of the
results, as these interventions were not designed for enhancing adherence to dietary advice.
We only included studies including food-based dietary advice and representing real-life
conditions. Therefore, we excluded studies involving the provision of meals, food items or
dietary supplements (e.g. vitamin, mineral, omega-3 fatty acid).
Types of outcome measures
Primary outcomes
• Client adherence to dietary advice (e.g. biochemical measures within acceptable
limits, mean dietary intake, proportion of clients achieving the dietary advice).
We included studies reporting adherence to dietary advice as a primary outcome,
namely those clearly mentioning a measurement of diet adherence in the title or
the objective of the study and/or those reporting the proportion of patients
adhering to dietary advice. We excluded studies reporting mean dietary intake
without specifically assessing adherence to dietary advice.
Secondary outcomes
• Process measures: e.g. attendance at or participation in individual counselling or
group sessions, number of completed food records returned to research
coordinators, client or family or non-family caregivers’ satisfaction with the
dietary or counselling approaches, health professionals’ skills in performing the
experimental interventions or their satisfaction with the counselling approach.
• Client-based health or behaviour outcomes: e.g. blood pressure; plasma
cholesterol concentration; plasma glucose concentration; body weight; relief of
symptoms; smoking; physical activity; blood glucose monitoring.
• Organisational outcomes: e.g. cost; time; resources required by client, family or
non-family caregivers, or healthcare professionals.
• Harms or secondary effects: e.g. confusion regarding new eating patterns;
feelings of lack of confidence or skills in preparing meals; unhappiness at loss of
traditional meals.
