Pilot randomized controlled trial of a home vegetable gardening intervention among older cancer survivors shows feasibility, satisfaction, and promise in improving vegetable and fruit consumption, reassurance of worth, and the trajectory of central adiposity

Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Jan 05, 2018

Demark-Wahnefried W, et al. - This randomized controlled trial was designed to investigate whether a home-based vegetable gardening intervention was feasible. In addition, the authors aimed to explore whether it improved diet and other health-related outcomes among older cancer survivors. They concluded that among older cancer survivors, the home vegetable gardening intervention was feasible and suggested improvements in vegetable and fruit consumption and reassurance of worth. Moreover, the data suggested attenuated increases in waist circumference. In order to improve health, health behaviors, and well-being of older cancer survivors, a continued study of vegetable gardening interventions was warranted.
