Abstract

Background: Diabetes, hypertension, and obesity are vastly prevalent in the United States. Lifestyle modification programs can aid in controlling chronic disease. The aim of the study was to evaluate the health outcomes of the Complete Health Improvement Program (CHIP) concerning blood glucose, blood pressure, and weight. CHIP is a lifestyle medicine education program involving diet modification and increased physical activity.

Methods: A quantitative, summative program evaluation was performed to measure the outcomes of CHIP. Pre and post data sets were collected on 73 individuals who completed the 12-week CHIP program. Pre and post program blood glucose levels, blood pressure readings, and weight measurements were analyzed using a paired t-test with a 95% confidence level. Analysis determined influence of the intervention on the biomarkers.

Results: The post-intervention group means showed decreases in blood glucose, blood pressure, and weight. Statistical analysis revealed significant decreases in blood glucose (p = 0.008) and weight (p = 0.000). Blood pressure readings did not have statistically significant decreases (p = 0.403); however, the pre-intervention blood pressure readings were in the normotensive range.

Conclusion: Results indicated that the Complete Health Improvement Program decreased participants' blood glucose levels, blood pressure readings, and weight measurements. Statistically significant decreases in blood glucose and weight suggest enhanced control of diabetes and obesity through utilization of CHIP.

评估完全健康改善计划(CHIP)对血糖、血压和体重的影响。

背景:糖尿病、高血压和肥胖在美国非常普遍。生活方式的改变可以帮助控制慢性病。本研究的目的是评估完全健康改善计划(CHIP)的健康结果，包括血糖、血压和体重。CHIP是一项生活方式医学教育计划，包括改变饮食和增加体育活动。方法:采用定量的、总结性的方案评价来衡量CHIP的结果。收集了73名完成12周CHIP项目的患者的前后数据集。计划前后的血糖水平、血压读数和体重测量使用配对t检验进行分析，置信度为95%。分析确定干预对生物标志物的影响。结果:干预后组血糖、血压、体重均有所下降。统计分析显示血糖(p = 0.008)和体重(p = 0.000)显著降低。血压读数无统计学意义的降低(p = 0.403);然而，干预前的血压读数在正常范围内。结论:结果表明，完全健康改善计划降低了参与者的血糖水平、血压读数和体重测量。有统计学意义的血糖和体重下降表明，通过使用CHIP可以加强对糖尿病和肥胖的控制。
