| Popis: | 99 The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of diet and exercise program on community residents with metabolic syndrome. This was a quasi-experimental, study design. All participants were over 40 years of age and with metabolic syndrome. Participants were distributed into with a diet and exercise group (n=207) or without a diet and exercise group (n=185). Participants in the diet and exercise group were taught how to eat at least five fruits and vegetables per day, and exercise three times per week and at least thirty every time. The without diet and exercise group participants diet and exercise as usual. Outcome measurements included participants’ blood pressure, waist circumference, hip circumference, BMI (body mass index), fasting glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, and personal demographics. We examined outcome indicators at three months after diet and exercise program. The results showed that participants in the diet and exercise group were had a lower blood pressure (systolic Z=-9.40, p < .001; diastolic Z=-10.08, p < .001), waist circumference (Z=-6.03, p < .001), hip circumference (Z=-9.07, p < .001), BMI (Z=-4.55, p < .001), fasting glucose (Z=-7.43, p < .001), cholesterol (Z=-5.64, p < .001), triglyceride (Z=-6.91, p < .001) when compared with the non diet and exercise group. This study demonstrated that diet and exercise program is an effectiveness strategy on community residents with metabolic syndrome. Clear and concise information related the metabolic syndrome and related strategy should addresses to community residents for health promotion. |
