Abbott Laboratories has announced the results of a new clinical study on their Healthy Food Rx program, which were presented as a late-breaking poster at the American Diabetes Association's 85th Scientific Sessions. The randomized, controlled trial was conducted by the Public Health Institute Center for Wellness and Nutrition in Stockton, California, where 60% of the population has diabetes or pre-diabetes. The study assessed the impact of the program on 364 people living with diabetes over a six-month period. Participants in the program, which provides home-delivered healthy food boxes and nutrition education, reported eating more vegetables and fruit, with a significant improvement in their health status. The study emphasizes the potential of food as medicine programs to improve diet quality and health outcomes in highly food insecure, low-income communities.
