Interventions

BEHAVIORALe-12HR app

The 'feedback' e-12HR version: This version of the application allows to calculate the Mediterranean Diet Serving Score (MDSS) index; additionally, this version is designed to promote the Mediterranean diet with two specific automatic functions: 1. Evaluation of the user's MDSS index. 2. Identification of the food groups for which the user has not fulfilled the Mediterranean diet recommendations (in addition, this version also provided the user the consumption recommendations established for these food groups).
