| Summary: | 碩士 === 靜宜大學 === 食品營養學系 === 82 === The purpose of this research was to assess the effect of nutri-
tion education intervention on nutrition knowledge, dietary
behavior and the cilnical condition of individuals with non-
insulin dependent diabetic nephropathy. Forty-one subjects with
non-insulin dependent diabetic nephro- pathy in the Taichung
Veterans' Hospital were studied: 20 volunteers were in the case
group, and the other 21 subjects were in the con- trol group.
Blood and urine samples were collected for measurement, while
nutrition knowledge questionnaire, dietary and clinical data
were collected by interviews. The subjects in the case group
re- ceived 5 classes of nutrition education within 2 months and
followed up for 2-3 months . The control group had no
nutritional lessons, but received leaflets. The results of this
study were as follows: 1.The case group scored significantly
higher points than the control group for a test of
nutritionknowledge after education (P<0.001). 2.The case group
was significantly lower than thecontrol group for the frequency
of intake of plant protein food such as beans, seeds and nuts
soy bean products and high fat meats (P<0.01;p<0.01; P<0.05;
P<0.05). 3.Regarding nutrients intake, no change was observed
for the control group. The case group had decreased intake of
total protein (both animal protein and plant protein) and
carbohydrate. Compared with the control group, protein intake
had significantly decreased in case group(P<0.01). 4.After the
nutrition education, the variation of body mass index ( B.M.I.)
for the control group showed no change were observed, but the
case group had significantly lower B.M.I. than the control
group(P<0.05). 5.Urinary albumin excretion rate for the control
group showed no change. The case group had much less urinary
albumin. It was also lower than the controlgroup after the
education (P<0.001).
