Abstract: Objective: To determine longer-term (18-month) sustainability of a six-month physical activity
and nutrition intervention for 50–69-year-olds with or at risk of metabolic syndrome residing in
a rural Australian community.
Methods: Participants (n=151) were followed-up at 12 and 18 months post-intervention.
Changes in nutrition behaviours (fat and fibre barometer); physical activity behaviours (IPAQ);
anthropometry (waist-hip ratio, weight, BMI), blood pressure, blood parameters (triglycerides,
glucose, LDL-, HDL-, non-HDL, total-cholesterol) were analysed using t-tests and repeated
measures ANOVA.
Results: Across three time points (6, 12 and 18 months) marginal decrease was observed for
waist circumference (p=0.001), a modest increase was observed for diastolic blood pressure
(p=0.010) and other outcome measures remained stable.
Conclusion: Maintenance and ongoing improvement of health behaviours in the longer-term
is challenging. Future studies must look for ways to embed interventions into communities so
they are sustainable and investigate new approaches to reduce the risk of chronic disease.
Implications for public health: Metabolic syndrome is a major health issue in Australia and
worldwide. Early identification and management are required to prevent the progression to
chronic disease. This 18-month follow-up showed that outcomes measures remained relatively
stable; however, there is a need to investigate opportunities for2020-10-01T00:00:00Z
