This study aimed to investigate the view of prediabetes and prehypertension elderly patients living around temple on long-term self-management in proficient way underneath the lifestyle intervention program based on both focus-group discussion and In-depth interview methods to fill the gap in partially successful intervention. 62 participants were selected from 220 participants of the quantitative published study by 2 researchers. The triangulation method was used to put great emphasis on the consistency and the credibility of the results. Almost all of the participants had benefited from the program regarding proper foods, suitable exercise and an inspiration of lifestyle modification. They made changes of eating behavior and exercise behavior during program attendance, however, after the program had finished, they had minimal concern to take care of themselves. Nonetheless, more than half of them demonstrated some health-related behaviors changes due to they gave the value of the suggestion in different aspects. Moreover, high-frequency program attendance was not related to blood results improvement. The knowledge obtained from program intervention together with adequate contact between the patient and the program staff, personal problems solving, personal attitude, practice and acceptable played a key role for long-term lifestyle modification and completely successful intervention.

Background: A major shortcoming of lifestyle improvement programs has been the difficulty in understanding the recruitment and follow-up strategies that yield the best results in terms of targeted health outcomes and retention rates. In this study, we compare the retention rates, short and long-term outcomes of a tailored workplace lifestyle intervention program targeted at high CVD risk working populations before and after implementation of changes made to the program based on a behavioral assessment (BA) analysis. Methods: The My Unlimited Potential (MyUP) is a year long lifestyle intervention program conducted among high-CVD risk employees of Baptist Health South Florida. The program was initially designed to have a 9-week intensive phase, with a year long follow-up period. During the intensive phase, participants had supervised structured physical fitness training as well as nutritional counseling. Due to concerns about sub-optimal retention rates and outcomes, the program was modified based on the results of a behavioral assessment of the initial participants (see figure). An additional level of participant screening was introduced with the aim of recruiting those who were least likely to drop-out and most likely to succeed in the program. The program was also modified to have a 12-week intensive phase. Results: At all follow-up periods, the retention rate was higher among those in the post BA group (see table). Although persons in the post-BA group achieved significantly greater reduction in weight, BMI and body fat the absolute differences between groups was minimal. The measured reduction in systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressures (DBP) were greater in the pre-BA group at the end of the intensive phase but this was reversed by 1 year in which only those who received the revised intervention had sustained reduction in DBP. There was no significant between-group difference in the laboratory parameter changes, including HbA1c and hsCRP. Conclusion: Using a behavioral assessment modification module improves retention rates with minimal improvement in outcomes. BA modification should be used in programs with low retention rates but may be of minimal impact on long term outcomes.

BACKGROUND Hypertension is a serious health issue and a major cardiovascular disease and stroke risk factor. In hypertensive patients, various health educational models have been used to improve their lifestyle, but the findings are inconsistent. OBJECTIVE The study assessed the effects of a lifestyle intervention program using modified Beliefs, Attitude, Subjective Standards, Enabling Factors (BASNEF) model among non-adherent hypertensive respondents in relation to the introduction of a lifestyle intervention program in the management of hypertension. METHODS This is a quantitative quasi-experimental research particularly utilizing a repeated-measures design of within-subjects approach on the 50 non-adherent patients diagnosed with essential hypertension at Moalboal, Cebu, Philippines in 2019. The respondents received five sessions of trainings based on modified BASNEF model. The Morisky Medication Adherence instrument was used. The first phase included a demographic questionnaire and the last phase comprised the evaluation of the program. Frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviations for descriptive statistics while t-test, repeated measures, ANOVA, and Pearson product moment correlation for inferential statistics. RESULTS The result indicated that the phase 1 mean (146.5) of the systolic readings differ significantly from the phase 4 mean (134.92) of the systolic readings. However, since these two means came from phases that were not consecutive, the result, as a whole, did not show a significant decrease or change when analyzed chronologically from one phase to the next. CONCLUSIONS The study has established that BASNEF model approach can be an effective BP management technique.

Leucocyte telomere length (LTL) is a robust marker of biological aging and is associated with obesity and cardiometabolic risk factors in childhood and adolescence. We investigated the effect of a structured, comprehensive, multidisciplinary, personalized, lifestyle intervention program of healthy diet and physical exercise on LTL in 508 children and adolescents (239 males, 269 females; 282 prepubertal, 226 pubertal), aged 10.14 ± 0.13 years. Participants were classified as obese (n = 267, 52.6%), overweight (n = 174, 34.2%), or of normal BMI (n = 67, 13.2%) according to the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) cutoff points and were studied prospectively for one year. We demonstrated that LTL increased significantly after 1 year of the lifestyle interventions, irrespective of gender, pubertal status, or body mass index (BMI). Waist circumference was the best negative predictor of LTL at initial assessment. The implementation of the lifestyle interventions also resulted in a significant improvement in clinical (BMI, BMI z-score and waist to height ratio) and body composition indices of obesity, inflammatory markers, hepatic enzymes, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C), quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI), and lipid profile in all participants. These findings indicate that the increased LTL may be associated with a more favorable metabolic profile and decreased morbidity later in life.
