- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in Body Mass Index (BMI) Baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months BMI is calculated as weight (kg)/height squared (m2)
Change in waist circumference Baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months Measured to the nearest 0.1 cm at the narrowest part of the torso between the ribs and the iliac crest.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in "Life's Simple 7" Composite Score Baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months Adapted from the American Heart Association standards based on health assessment data. Point values are assigned to each component: 2 points for ideal, 1 point for intermediate, 0 points for poor. The total sum allows for a continuous measure of cardiovascular health ranging from poor to ideal (0-14 points). The final score will be categorized as 0-6 (poor), 7-8 (intermediate), 9-14 (ideal).
Change in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) Baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months Change in LDL cholesterol blood serum level, reported in mg/dL
Change in blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) Baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months Measured three times and the average of the second and third readings will be used in analyses, reported in mmHg.
Change in Dietary Quality Baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months 24-hour dietary recall collected using the Nutrition Data System for Research (NDSR) used to calculate the Healthy Eating index (HEI-2015), scores categorized as HEI≥69.3 optimal, HEI 56.9-69.2 intermediate, HEI\<56.9 poor
Change in physical activity Baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months Measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) that assesses the number of minutes of mild, moderate, and vigorous physical activity over the previous 7 days, scores categorized as ≥150 min/wk moderate or ≥75 min/wk vigorous or ≥150 min/wk moderate+vigorous = optimal; 1-149 min/wk moderate or 1-74 min/wk vigorous or 1-149 min/wk moderate+vigorous = intermediate; no physical activity = poor
Change in fasting glucose level Baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months 6 hours fasting glucose blood serum level, reported in mg/dL
