• Interventions: Behavioral: WALK

• Registration Number: NCT03681756
• Lead Sponsor: University of California, San Francisco

Brief Summary

The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a health concern among Asians. Growing evidence indicates that Korean Americans had higher MetS prevalence compared to non-Hispanic Whites, but a culturally and linguistically appropriate lifestyle intervention has not been developed for Korean American middle-aged and older women. Thus, the investigators propose to develop a 4-week lifestyle intervention (Women's Active Living for Koreans (WALK) Study) to increase physical activity (PA) and reduce sedentary behavior for Korean American women.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this pilot study is to develop a 4-week lifestyle intervention (Women's Active Living for Koreans (WALK) Study) to increase physical activity (PA) and reduce sedentary behavior for Korean American women. The investigators will assess feasibility and acceptability of the WALK Study and potential efficacy of the WALK Study on outcomes including sedentary behavior and PA.
