Summary

The Cardiovascular Risk Prevention With a Mediterranean Dietary Pattern Reduced in Saturated Fat (CADIMED) study is a randomized, controlled intervention trial aiming to develop a dietary intervention that promotes saturated fat (SFA) reduction through eliminating red and processed meat consumption and to evaluate its impact on lipid and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk biomarkers.

The main research question is:

\* Does lowering SFA intake from specific foods (e.g., red and processed meat) modify cardiovascular risk factors in a Mediterranean dietary pattern context?

The aim is to compare, in a sample of 156 adult subjects (\>18 years) with dyslipidemia, the effect of an intervention that promotes the elimination of red and processed meat intake vs. the control group that will follow the usual health advice for CVD prevention. Changes in CVD risk biomarkers, blood metabolomics and the microbiome will be investigated after 8 weeks of intervention.
