Prevention of Lifestyle-related Disorders Based on Functional Examinations

Prevention of Lifestyle-related Disorders With Early Examinations of Health and Function and Individualised Functional Profiles - a Randomised Controlled Trial

• Status: Recruiting
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 250 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Lena Bornhoft · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 39 Years – 40 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The goal of this randomised controlled trial is to examine the effects of functional examinations and feedback/support on healthy 40-year-olds. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Does feedback and motivational interviewing after testing physical function motivate inactive middle-aged people to increase their physical activity level? • Does the intervention lead to health benefits over time - less pain, better function, higher health-related quality of life, fewer risk factors for lifestyle-related illness? Participants will: • undergo medical and functional health examinations, • their physical activity level will be measured, • receive feedback and advice based on both parts of the examinations, • receive a functional profile, • be supported in goalsetting for lifestyle changes. Researchers will compare with a control group who, after the examinations, receive feedback only from the medical examination to see if participants become more physically active, achieve better function, become more motivated to make lifestyle changes, reduce risk factors for lifestyle-related illness, achieve health benefits and better health-related quality of life.

Detailed description

Relatively healthy 40-year-olds will be examined at baseline and 1 year with both standard medical and newly developed functional examinations and physical activity level will be measured with accelerometers. The intervention group will receive feedback on all their results. A functional profile will be compiled and explained to each participant and they will receive support in setting relevant goals for lifestyle changes and making realistic plans to achieve them. The control group will also be examined as above but will receive feedback and advice based only on the standard medical examination.
