Brief Summary

The multidimensional self-management intervention program focusing on healthy dietary habit and exercise effectively prevents metabolic syndrome. Thus, the purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of multidimensional self-management intervention program on metabolic syndrome subjects in Taiwan.

Detailed Description

The study is a 2-parallel groups' randomized controlled trial. Participants with metabolic syndrome (three or more risk factors - triglycerides (TG) \>150 mg/dL, systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥130 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥85 mm Hg, or fasting blood glucose≥100 mg/dL; high-density lipoprotein cholesterol\<50 mg/dL, or waist circumference ≥80 cm) are enrolled. The four community units are randomized to receive a lifestyle intervention (intervention arm) or an education leaflet (control arm). The parameters are obtained from physical examination and biochemical assessments by well-trained case manager at baseline and each follow visit (6th months and 18th months). All participants complete a structured questionnaire, including basic information, physical activity, and food-frequency.
