Eligible subjects were randomly assigned to either the app group or bookletgroup. Those in the booklet group received a health talk and a booklet, whereas those in theapp group received a health talk and a MetS app to support their exercise maintenance andhealth records for 3 months. Both groups received similar educational content related tohealthcare for MetS clients. Data were collected at baseline (T1) and at 1- (T2) and 3-month(T3) intervals. Outcomes were body weight (primary outcome), total amount of exercise,blood pressure, and lipid concentrations. Data were analyzed using the generalized estimatingequation models. Feasibility and acceptability were assessed in process evaluation.Results: Ninety-eight individuals were screened for eligibility and 77 were randomized intothe app group (n = 38) or booklet group (n = 39). The attrition rate at T3 was 11.690%. Theapp group showed a significant reduction in body weight (β = − 1.069, p = 0.012) and bodymass index (β = − 0.371, p = 0.026), a greater amount of exercise (β = 8.454, p = 0.032), andimproved exercise self-efficacy (β = 10.62, p = 0.001) within 3 months. There were nosignificant differences between groups for other outcomes. The participants appreciated theproposed intervention of the programme.Conclusion: The MetS app may be incorporated in the health promotion programme tosupport exercise maintenance and a healthy lifestyle in the community.Keywords: exercise, body weight, metabolic syndrome, intervention, programme, mobileapplication |
