Clinical Trial Summary

Despite older adults being exposed to an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), they are generally underrepresented in cardiovascular prevention programmes. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of implementing an integrated exercise and cardiovascular health education programme (HE programme) on older adults at risk of ASCVD.


Description:

The study is a two-arm pilot randomized controlled trial. (1) The control group will receive a basic lifestyle modification talk and governmental education leaflets. (2) The experimental group will receive an integrated exercise and health education programme (HE programme) based on self-efficacy theory. Physical activity level, exercise self-efficacy and ASCVD risk profile including blood pressure, cardiac endurance, and anthropometric outcomes will be investigated via physiological assessments, medical history-taking or questionnaires at baseline, Week 6, and Week 12. Meanwhile, study feasibility will be primarily evaluated in terms of programme acceptability, intervention integrity, recruitment rate and retention rate throughout the process and at Week 12.

Study Design


Intervention

Behavioral:
HE programme
Participants will receive a 12-week integrated exercise and cardiovascular health education programme (HE programme) which is constructed based on self-efficacy theory. A booster intervention in the form of SMS messaging will be given from Week 1 to Week 12.
Usual care
Participants will receive usual care which primarily includes an education talk on basic health issues. Governmental health education leaflets will be provided for reference.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Physical activity level (total score) The physical activity level will be measured by the Chinese Version of Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE-C). The total score (from zero to 400 or above) is quantified based on frequency values and weights for these activities. The higher the score, the higher the level of physical activity. At baseline, at Week 6, and at Week 12
Primary Physical activity level (classification of physical activity level) The physical activity level will be measured by the Chinese version of International Physical Activity Questionnaire-short form (IPAQ-C-short form). Participants are classified into "inactive", "minimally active" or "health enhancing physical activity (HEPA) active" based on their physical activity levels. At baseline, at Week 6, and at Week 12
Secondary Exercise self-efficacy Exercise self-efficacy will be measured via the Chinese version of Self-Efficacy for Exercise (SEE-C). The total score ranges from 0 to 90. The higher the score, the greater the exercise self-efficacy. At baseline, at Week 6, and at Week 12
Secondary ASCVD risk profiles (Blood pressure, weight, height, BMI & waist circumference, heart rate) The ASCVD risk profiles will be assessed by physical evaluations carried out by blinded, trained outcome assessors. At baseline, at Week 6, and at Week 12
Secondary ASCVD risk profiles (2-minute walk test) 2-minute walk test will be adopted to examine aerobic capacity and self-paced walking capacity by measuring the walking distance covered at two minutes. It will be assessed by blinded, trained outcome assessors. At screening stage, at Week 6, and at Week 12
Secondary Acceptability of the program to participants It will be measured by a self-developed questionnaire At Week 12
Secondary Acceptability of the program to outcome assessors It will be measured by a self-developed questionnaire completed by outcome assessors After the outcome assessors have finished their duties
Secondary Acceptability of the program to lecture deliverers It will be measured by a self-developed questionnaire completed by lecture deliverers After the lecture deliverers have finished their duties
Secondary Adverse events throughout the program Unfavorable or unintended events regarding the programme reported by participants throughout the study period. Throughout the study period
Secondary Program safety evaluated by participants It will be measured via a self-developed questionnaire completed by participants At Week 12
Secondary Eligibility rate The number of eligible potential participants divided by the number of screened people At baseline
Secondary Recruitment rate The percentage of participants who consent to join the study and being recruited At baseline
Secondary Retention rate The percentage of participants remaining in the study At baseline, at Week 6 and at Week 12
Secondary Lecture attendance rate The number of participants in the control group who attend the education talk divided by the number of participants who are randomized into the control group
The number of participants in the experimental group who attend the education session divided by the number of participants who are randomized into the experimental group
The number of participants in the two groups who attend the education session divided by the number of randomized participants
Immediately after education session
Secondary Adherence to intervention The number of participants in the experimental group who practice the tailor-made exercise learned during the intervention divided by the number of participants in the experimental group
Experimental group's frequency in performing tailor-made exercise related to the recommended exercise dosage
At Week 6 and at Week 12
Secondary Attendance rate to data collection The number of participants in the control group who attend the data collection divided by the number of participants who are randomized into the control group
The number of participants in the experimental group who attend the data collection divided by the number of participants who are randomized into the experimental group
The number of participants who attend the data collection divided by the number of randomized participants
At baseline, at Week 6 and at Week 12
Secondary Questionnaire completion rate The number of participants who complete the questionnaire divided by the number of distributed questionnaires At baseline, at Week 6 and at Week 12
Secondary Missing data The percentage of missing data At baseline, at Week 6 and at Week 12
Secondary Structured questionnaire The questionnaire will primarily include patient demographics, medical history, lifestyle patterns, medication use and physical fitness evaluation data, etc. At baseline
