Explore the effects of a novel 12-week gardening, nutrition, and cooking intervention (“LA Sprouts”) on dietary intake, obesity parameters and metabolic disease risk among low-income, primarily Hispanic/Latino youth in Los Angeles. Randomized control trial involving four elementary schools [2 randomized to intervention (172, 3rd–5th grade students); 2 randomized to control (147, 3rd–5th grade students)]. Classes were taught in 90-minute sessions once/week for 12 weeks. Data collected at pre- and post-intervention included dietary intake via food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), anthropometric measures [BMI, waist circumference (WC)], body fat, and fasting blood samples. LA Sprouts participants compared to controls had significantly greater reductions in BMI z-scores (−0.1 vs. −0.04, respectively; p=0.01) and WC (−1.2 vs. 0.1cm; p<0.001). Fewer LA Sprouts participants had the metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) after the intervention than before, while controls with MetSyn increased. LA Sprouts participants compared to controls increased dietary fiber intake (+3.4% vs. −16.5%; p=0.04). All participants decreased vegetable intake, but decreases were less in LA Sprouts than controls (−3.7% vs. −26.1%; p=0.04). Change in fruit intake did not differ between LA Sprouts and controls. LA Sprouts was effective in reducing obesity and metabolic risk, however, additional larger and longer term studies are warranted.
