Our aim isto assess the effectiveness of a multifactorial intervention to improve adherence to theMD, diet qualityand biomedical parameters. The EMID study is a randomized and controlled clinical trial with twoparallel groups and a 12-month follow-up period. The study included 204 subjects between 25–70 yearswith T2DM. The participants were randomized into intervention group (IG) and control group (CG).Both groups received brief advice about healthy eating and physical activity. The IG participantsadditionally took part in a food workshop, five walks and received a smartphone application for threemonths. The population studied had a mean age of 60.6 years. At the 3-month follow-up visit, therewere improvements in adherence to the MD and diet quality of 2.2 and 2.5 points, compared to thebaseline visit, respectively, in favour of the IG. This tendency of the improvement was maintained,in favour of the IG, at the 12-month follow-up visit. In conclusion, the multifactorial interventionperformed could improve adherence to the MD and diet quality among patients with T2DM.
