The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a one-year nutrition education course on cardiometabolic parameters in undergraduate health science students. During the 2021\u201322 academic year, 1.30 h nutrition sessions were conducted twice a week. Capillary blood samples were collected and centrifuged to measure cardiometabolic and inflammatory biomarkers in serum. The sample studied consisted of 49 students: 20.4% male and 79.6% female. The nutritional intervention resulted in changes in dietary patterns, with increased consumption of vegetables, nuts and legumes. After the course, females showed an increase in HDL-cholesterol levels (p = 0.007) and no change in LDL-cholesterol levels (p = 0.189). On the other hand, males showed significant changes in HDL-cholesterol (p = 0.001) and LDL-cholesterol (p = 0.043) levels. The atherogenic index was also significantly reduced (p &lt; 0.001) in both males (p = 0.009) and females (p = 0.002). Differences were also observed in the increase in vitamin D levels in both males and females, although the magnitude of the increase was greater in the men (\u0394 = 7.94, p = 0.016 in men vs. \u0394 = 4.96, p = 0.001 in women). The monocyte-to-HDL ratio (MHR) showed a significant reduction, although these differences were only significant in males. Students with low vitamin D levels had higher LDL-cholesterol values (p = 0.01) and atherogenic index (p = 0.029). Adjusted linear regression analysis showed a significant association between post-course vitamin D MHR (\u03b2 = \u22120.42, IC: \u22120.29, \u22120.06, p &lt; 0.01). These findings suggest the importance of including nutrition education programs during the university stage for the prevention of long-term health problems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu15214685","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,5]],"date-time":"2023-11-05T07:35:06Z","timestamp":1699169706000},"page":"4685","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Effect of Nutrition Education on Health Science University Students to Improve Cardiometabolic Profile and Inflammatory Status"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0553-6210","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miguel","family":"L\u00f3pez-Moreno","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n en Ciencias de Alimentaci\u00f3n, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, 28049 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Grupo de Investigaci\u00f3n en Biotecnolog\u00eda Alimentaria, Universidad Francisco de Vitoria, 28223 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3888-4150","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta","family":"Garc\u00e9s-Rim\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n en Ciencias de Alimentaci\u00f3n, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, 28049 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Grupo de Investigaci\u00f3n en Biotecnolog\u00eda Alimentaria, Universidad Francisco de Vitoria, 28223 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5525-1056","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta","family":"Miguel-Castro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n en Ciencias de Alimentaci\u00f3n, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, 28049 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7700-999X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elia","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez-Mart\u00ednez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Enfermer\u00eda, Universidad de Huelva, 21007 Huelva, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4511-5592","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda Teresa","family":"Iglesias L\u00f3pez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Investigaci\u00f3n en Biotecnolog\u00eda Alimentaria, Universidad Francisco de Vitoria, 28223 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"138","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2022.04.046","article-title":"Trends and Disparities in Cardiometabolic Health among U.S. Adults,1999\u20132018","volume":"80","author":"Lauren","year":"2022","journal-title":"J.
