Dietary Patterns & There Relationship to Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors In Individuals With Chronic Spinal Cord Injury
This study will look at dietary patterns in individuals with chronic spinal cord injuries and
the relationship between these dietary patterns and cardiovascular disease risk factors. The
study is a supplement to the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study.
The dietary history from CARDIA will be used. The investigators' primary hypothesis is the
following: Greater whole-grain and dietary fiber intake will be favorably associated with
adiposity (BMI and WC) and metabolic CVD risk factors (fasting glucose, fasting insulin,
HOMA-IR, diabetes, hsCRP, TC, HDL-C, triglycerides, TC/HDL-C ratio, non-HDL-C, and systolic
and diastolic blood-pressure) among a sample of individuals with SCI aged 38-50 who have been
injured >1 year.
