Overview
The "Cardiovascular Risk Reduction-Diet in Pregnancy" (CARRDIP) - is a randomised controlled trial with dietary intervention during pregnancy. The participants were enrolled in Norway 20 years ago and consisted of 269 pregnant, healthy mothers. The participants were randomised 1:1 to either intervention-diet or control. The intervention diet was build upon an anti-atherogenic principle and was a so called "Mediterranean diet". The participants were monitored during pregnancy, and mother and child participated in a follow-up study 1 year after birth. The current "CARRDIP20" trial is a follow-up of the same participants, both mother and offspring, 20 years after the original intervention to measure and analyse the cardiovascular health and compare the intervention group to the control group.
