Protocol summary

Study aim
To determine the effect of Probiotic supplement vs Placebo on anthropometric indices, quality of life, body composition, blood pressure, lipid profile, and serum levels of adipokines and atherosclerosis dependent indices in elderly with type 2 diabetes and high cardiovascular risk
Design
A controlled, randomized, triple-blinded, clinical trial with a parallel-group design
Settings and conduct
A single-center clinical trial in the elderlies with type 2 diabetes
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: > 65 years old, diagnosed as having T2DM, at least moderately controlled diabetes, a stable anti-diabetic drug regimen before starting the study, and high risk for cardiovascular events Exclusion criteria: Consumption of other Probiotic supplements and food products during the study, multivitamin-mineral supplements or medicinal products that interfere with patients' anthropometric indices, blood pressure, lipid profile, and serum levels of adipokines and atherosclerosis dependent indices, cancer, and any chronic disease other than diabetes, smoking, drinking, uncontrolled blood pressure, acute gastrointestinal problem, consumption of antibiotics during the study and unusual stressful event during the study
Intervention groups
Intervention group: Multistrain Probiotics Capsule, containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Helveticus, casei, acidophilus, bulgaricus, plantarum and Gasseri and Bifidobacterium lactis, Breve, Langum and bifidum and Streptococcus thermophilus with CFU 109 Manufactured by Zist Takhmir Co. one capsule daily for 4 months Control group: placebo capsule in completely similar design, color, smell, taste and shape to probiotic capsule and without microorganisms, Manufactured by Zist Takhmir Co. one capsule daily for 4 months

Sample size
Target sample size: 80
Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
A block randomization method will be used to allocate participants to the groups with a 1:1 allocation using random allocation software (RAS) with block sizes of 2and 4. Similarly sealed envelopes will be used to conceal the allocation in a sequentially numbered opaque package
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
Probiotic and placebo supplements will be prepared in exactly the same way in terms of shape, color and odor, and will be placed in a small envelope containing 30 to 31 capsules for each participant for monthly consumption. The envelopes will be opened in the order in which the participants enter this stage from number 1, and an envelope containing the supplement will be provided to the participant for one month. Outcome assessors, the person responsible for statistical analysis of the data, and the respondents will be blinded to the type of supplement received until the end of the study
