Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Four week run-in period (healthy diet based on the New Zealand food based dietary guidelines, e.g 5 servings of fruit and vegetables per day, etc.) 8-week randomised controlled cross-over study- intervention: 2 green kiwifruit/day + healthy diet (n=80); control: healthy diet + other fruit that they would normally have consumed (n=80); 4 weeks on each with no wash-out period between interventions (phase 1). Followed by a 4-week randomised parallel study- group one: 2 green kiwifruit/day + healthy diet (n=40); group two: 2 gold kiwifruit/day + healthy diet (n=40) (phase 2).

Study design
Purpose of the study
Prevention
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
The person who will determine if a subject is eligible for inclusion in the trial will be unaware, when this decision is made, to which group the subject will be allocated. Allocation will be made by central randomisation by computer.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Phase 1: Random assignment to 1 of 2 treatment sequences using computer generated random number tables. Phase 2: re-randomisation assignment to 1 of 2 treatment sequences using computer generated random number tables.
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?



Intervention assignment
Crossover
Other design features
The kiwifruit intervention will not be blinded.
