Nutrition Education Impact on Nutritional Knowledge and Body Composition in PLHIV

A dataset from a randomized clinical trial assessing the impact of a nutrition education intervention on people living with HIV. The study measured nutritional knowledge, food consumption, energy expenditure, and body composition at baseline, 30 days, and 60 days for 16 participants. The data, authored by E. Alana D. Fernandes, was last updated on 2026-05-20.

Use Cases

• Analyzing changes in nutritional knowledge scores over time based on the described intervention.
• Comparing food consumption patterns between control and intervention groups mentioned in the description.
• Modeling the relationship between nutrition education and changes in body mass or body fat percentage as reported in the trial results.

Strengths

• Data is from a randomized, controlled clinical trial, a strong study design.
• Results include specific p-values for changes in knowledge, consumption, and body composition at 30 and 60 days.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small, with only 16 participants, limiting statistical power.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
