摘要

Background

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), also known as chronic diseases, contribute to a significant portion of the global disease burden and mortality. Unhealthy lifestyle factors play a major role in the development of NCDs, making middle age (35–59 years) a critical period for intervention, which can have a profound impact on delaying or preventing the incidence of chronic diseases. However, adopting lifestyle changes can be challenging, requiring interventions that consider psychological aspects and are easily incorporated into daily life.

Methods

This 4-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims to recruit 1000 middle-aged individuals without chronic diseases into four arms: health coaching (HC), health watch (HW), a combination of both (HC + HW), or waitlist control. The primary objectives are to assess the effectiveness of HC + HW compared to the waitlist group, as well as the effectiveness of HC-only and HW-only interventions. Secondary objectives include evaluating the impact on secondary outcomes and comparing the effectiveness between intervention groups. Life's Simple 7 (LS7) composite score will be assessed, along with biometric parameters and a risk assessment survey. Participants will undergo evaluations at 0 month, 3 months, and 6 months after randomization.

Discussion

This 4-arm RCT will inform the effectiveness of HC and HW to support the community health by encouraging compliance to healthy lifestyle that prevent NCDs.

Trial registration

This study was registered on Chinese Clinical Trial Registry on 26th February 2024 (no.: ChiCTR2400081193). All registered items are included within this manuscript.
