Change in quality of life over the 12-month period |
A validated tool by the name of PROMIS global measure will be provided by the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS). This 9 items on this tool will measure the participants' fatigue, emotional distress, social health, and physical function. The 9 of the 10 PROMIS global measure items will be scored on a Likert scale from 1 to 5, with 5 representing the best health. Higher scores from summation of the nine items indicate better quality of life. |
Baseline, 6 months and 12 months |

Change in pain severity over the 12-month period |
A validated tool by the name of PROMIS global measure will be provided by the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System. One item on this tool will measure the participants' perception of pain. The pain item uses a response scale of 0-10, which will be rescored to a 5-point scale. Higher scores on the Pain item indicate higher pain severity. |
Baseline, 6 months and 12 months |

Primary |
Change in systolic blood pressure over a 6-month period |
A Bluetooth-enabled blood pressure monitor (Omron Model: BP7250) will be distributed to all participants. All participants will download the Omron Connect app which will allow them to sync their systolic blood pressure readings (mmHg) into the app. |
Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months |
|
Primary |
Change in diastolic blood pressure over a 6-month period |
A Bluetooth-enabled blood pressure monitor (Omron Model: BP7250) will be distributed to all participants. All participants will download the Omron Connect app which will allow them to sync their diastolic blood pressure readings (mmHg) into the app. |
Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months |
|
Primary |
Change in body weight over a 6-month period |
All participants will receive a Bluetooth-enabled digital scale (Omron Model: BCM-500) that measures body weight (Kg). |
Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months |
|
Primary |
Change in body fat percentage over a 6-month period |
All participants will receive a Bluetooth-enabled digital scale (Omron Model: BCM-500) that measures body fat percentage (%). |
Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months |
|
Primary |
Change in visceral fat over a 6-month period |
All participants will receive a Bluetooth-enabled digital scale (Omron Model: BCM-500) that measures Visceral Fat (rating levels 1-59). |

|
Primary |
Change in skeletal muscle percentage over a 6-month period |
All participants will receive a Bluetooth-enabled digital scale (Omron Model: BCM-500) that measures Skeletal Muscle percentage (%). |

|
Primary |
Change in resting metabolism over a 6-month period |
All participants will receive a Bluetooth-enabled digital scale (Omron Model: BCM-500) that measures Resting Metabolism (kcal). |
Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months |
|
Primary |
Change in body mass index over a 6-month period |
All participants will receive a Bluetooth-enabled digital scale (Omron Model: BCM-500) that measures Body Mass Index (Kg/m^2). |
Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months |
|
Secondary |
Change in global cardiovascular disease risk |
Global cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk will be calculated using the body mass index-based cardiovascular risk score. Higher scores indicate higher CVD risk. Continuous risk scores will be used to classify patients into risk categories according to the Adult Treatment Panel III of the National Cholesterol Education Program (ATPIII): low (<10%), moderate (10-20%), and high (>20%). |
Baseline, 6 months and 12 months |
|
Secondary |
Change in body mass index over a 12-month period |
Body mass index (Kg/m^2) will be calculated using the adult body mass index calculator provided by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. |
