Abstract

The aim of this study is to explore the association between motivational “stage” and intake of selected foods, and risk factors for diabetes; and what degree of attendance in an intervention that was necessary to show movements across the motivational “stages of change”. Participants (n = 198, aged 25–62 years) were randomly assigned into intervention and control. Data collection: Interviews with a structured questionnaire, anthropometric and biochemical assessments. Intake of several food items and blood parameters at baseline differed according to motivational stage. Those who participated in at least four group sessions in the intervention were more likely to show a positive move through the “stages of change”. Those in low motivational stages at baseline had benefitted just as much from the intervention as those in higher stages. Intake of several food items corresponded to the motivational “stage”. High attendance in the intervention was necessary for a positive move through “stages of change”.
