Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Metabolic Syndrome, Inactivity/Low Levels of Exercise, Unhealthy Diet, Unhealthy Alcohol Use, Smoking Behaviors, Stress, Sleep Disorder, Obesity & Overweight, Anxiety, Depressed Mood, Emotional Eating Behaviour

In brief

This study aims to evaluate the impact of public health interventions on changes in healthy lifestyle habits over time and their subsequent effects on health outcomes. The investigators hypothesize that exposing at-risk populations to structured physical activity programs, education on healthy nutrition, promotion of the Mediterranean diet, and workshops focused on strengthening psychological resilience will lead to improvements in anthropometric, oxidative, metabolic, and psychological parameters. Anthropometric and laboratory measures will be collected at multiple time points throughout the study. The longitudinal follow-up will span 12 months. It is anticipated that sustained adherence to healthy lifestyle behaviors will result in positive lifestyle changes and enhanced health-related quality of life.
