简要总结
Background: This study aims to determine the effects of communicating genetic risk for Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) alone or in combination with goal setting and prompts from a wearable device on objectively measured sedentary time (ST) in East Asians. It is hypothesized that this combination will lead to significant favorable changes in objectively ST, and that such changes will be more likely to be sustained over 6-month follow-up.
Methods: In a parallel group, randomized controlled trial, a total 414 individuals of East Asians aged over 60years will be allocated into one of three groups: 1 control and 2 intervention groups. Blood samples will be used for estimation of CHD genetic and analysis of metabolic risk markers. Genetic risk for CHD will be estimated based on recently identified 79 SNPs (associated with CHD for East Asians) using an established methodology. Questionnaires and physical measurement will be administered at Before and after the 12-month intervention and at 6-month follow-up. Each group will receive a Fitbit device. Both intervention groups will be given CHD genetic risk estimates along with lifestyle advice but one of them will additionally use Fitbit's step-goal setting and prompt functions. The primary outcome is objectively measured sedentary time. Secondary outcomes include objectively measured MVPA, calories burned, and five intermediate metabolic risk markers (total cholesterol/HDL-C/LDL-C/triglycerides).

盲法说明
Staff without knowledge of participant information will create a computer-generated list that consists of blocks of six that contain two of each of the three groups per block in a random order. The randomisation list will be incorporated into a computer program that our staff will use for enrolment and automated random assignment of participants. Group allocation will be concealed from study staff until the 7-day pre-intervention period begins (to allow preparation of genetic risk estimates and/or calculate Fitbit step goals from baseline data) and concealed from participants until the intervention begins. Given the nature of the interventions, it is impossible for participants to be blinded to their group allocation; however, research staff analysing participants' deidentified data will remain blinded to participant group assignments.
