MNT Effectiveness: Dyslipidemia (2022)

The expert panel focused on the effectiveness of MNT for adults with dyslipidemia on the following outcomes:

  • Lipid profile
  • Blood pressure
  • Anthropometric outcomes
  • Glycemic outcomes
  • Quality of life
  • Adverse events

Key Findings: Moderate certainty of evidence demonstrates MNT provided by a RDN or international equivalent improves lipid profile (total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglyceride levels) in adults with dyslipidemia.
