Filter by:This study is a prospective follow-up study to the Dose-Response to Exercise in Women (DREW) study. In DREW, 450 overweight, sedentary postmenopausal women were randomly assigned to either a non-exercise control group or to 1 of 3 weekly physical activity groups. The DREW study is evaluating the dose-response of exercise training in regard to changes in multiple cardiac risk factors. This study will measure diastolic heart function in a subset of the DREW population in order to examine the relationship between dose response, changes in physical activity, and diastolic function. Diastolic heart function will be assessed using both traditional and novel echocardiographic measures.
SEARCH is a randomised, double-blind, multi-centre United Kingdom (UK) trial of 12,064 patients with myocardial infarction (MI) prior to study entry which aims to demonstrate whether a more intensive cholesterol lowering regimen using 80 mg simvastatin daily produces a larger and worthwhile reduction in cardiovascular events compared with a standard 20 mg daily regimen and whether reducing blood homocysteine levels with a daily dose of folic acid 2 mg + vitamin B12 1 mg compared with matching placebo produces a worthwhile reduction in vascular disease.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of an environmental worksite intervention to reduce obesity among hospital employees.
The purpose of this study is to design a comprehensive nutrition and physical activity strategy to gain a broad understanding of the social and cultural role of food and physical activity among workers. Perspectives on innovative interventions that are socially feasible and culturally acceptable will also be obtained. Health lifestyle promotion interventions addressing portion control, healthy nutrition, and increasing physical activity will be tested.
The goal of the project is to develop, implement, and evaluate, through a randomized controlled trial at a worksite, an intervention to promote increased physical activity behavior and healthier eating behavior to reduce overweight and obesity among elementary school personnel.
The objective of this study is to determine whether a tailored web-based system for providing feedback on walking step-counts, in combination with regular nutrition counseling, can improve weight loss over nutrition counseling alone in patients with heart disease.
The purpose of this study is to improve adherence to blood pressure (BP) monitoring and medication compliance in individuals with high BP.
To test the efficacy of a patient-centered, culturally tailored education and activation intervention designed to improve adherence to medication and life style recommendations among adults with uncontrolled hypertension.
The purpose of this study is to increase physical activity, improve diet, and reduce obesity of hotel employees.
The purpose of this study is to test the effects of the DASH diet in patients with isolated systolic hypertension.
