Summary

This randomized pilot research trial studies how well Eat, Move, Live (EML) works in reducing chronic disease risk in medically vulnerable communities. Obesity, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity are linked to increased cancer risk, especially hormone-related cancer (example, breast cancer). Improving healthy lifestyle practices, namely increasing physical activity and encouraging healthy eating behaviors may reduce the risk of getting cancer and chronic disease.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Level of exercise. II. Reduction in barriers to exercise. III. Level of self-reported 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables consumption. IV. Reduction in barriers to fruit and vegetable consumption. V. Improvement in biologic/metabolic markers such as hemoglobin A1c, fasting plasma glucose, and body weight. OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 groups. GROUP I: Participants complete an assessment on knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors at baseline and attend 2 weekday sessions comprised of interactive education segment that is culturally responsive, and based on the community EML program, and topics including: nutrition guideline, nutrition label reading, comparison shopping/grocery store tour, recipe modification and healthy food preparation, eating healthy on a budget, and making healthy choices outside the home (e.g., restaurants) and physical activity over 1 hour led by Certified Health Educator (CHE), a physical activity conducted by Duarte Fitness Centers instructors over 30 minutes, and cooking/taste test demonstration co-led by the CHE and local chef over 30 minutes over 12 weeks. Participants are also prescribed and encouraged to participate in 3 days a week exercise classes (for \> 30 minutes) including salsa, Zumba and other aerobic exercises that are provided at Duarte Fitness Center. GROUP II: Participants receive a fitness tracker to track their physical activity and be wait listed to receive the intervention during month 10-12. After completion of study, participants are followed up immediately and at 3 months.
