PilAm Go4Health Weight Loss Program to Prevent Heart Disease

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Type2 Diabetes

In brief

This is a pilot randomized controlled trial intervention to improve lifestyle behaviors (physical activity and health diet) for Filipino Americans with type 2 diabetes on metformin. If the PilAm Go4Health intervention demonstrates potential efficacy, it may identify effective intervention strategies to significantly reduce risks for heart disease risks (i.e., metabolic syndrome) in Filipino Americans.
