ABSTRACT

Objective To assess the effect of lifestyle intervention on risk factors of chronic disease.Methods A total of 400 adults with high-risk of chronic disease received 3 months' lifestyle intervention.The effect of lifestyle intervention was then estimated.Results A total of 387 adults took physical examination.After lifestyle intervention,body mass index,waist circumference,blood pressure,glucose,glyceride,total cholesterol,and high density liopportein were significant decreased (t values were 27.50,19.01,7.46,6.56,5.29,7.74,7.27 and-7.64,respectively; all P＜0.05); however,low density liopportein showed no significant difference (t=0.73,P=0.469).A total of 373 adults had lifestyle and cardiovascular risk estimated.The scores of lifestyle and physical exercise showed statistically significant difference before and after lifestyle intervention (x2 values were 48.405 and 50.778,respectively; both P＜0.05).However,diet,alcohol drinking and cigarette smoking showed no significant difference (x2 values were 0.087,0.112 and 1.410,respectively; all P＞0.05).Moreover,the estimated cardiovascular risk showed significant difference (x2=10.284,P＜0.05).Conclusion Lifestyle intervention could be an effective tool for those with higher risk of chronic disease.
