Baseline and 12-month follow-up data were collected to capture the HRPP's likely effectiveness in promoting health outcomes and health behavioural change.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The HRPP programme was completed by 270 patients. Out of these 270 patients, 245 (90.74%) completed baseline assessments, and 176 (65.19%) completed follow-up assessments at 12 months. Baseline data indicated a high level of CVD risk among patients and follow-up demonstrated positive change in several areas, especially weight (-1.95 kg, <math><mrow><mi>p</mi></mrow></math> < 0.001), BMI (-0.72, <math><mrow><mi>p</mi></mrow></math> < 0.001), exercise during the last week (<math><mrow><mi>p</mi></mrow></math><0.001), and consumption of healthy fats in the HPP group (+60%, <math><mrow><mi>p</mi></mrow></math>< 0.001).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The HRPP was a much-needed pilot intervention, and positive results were seen in both GPN and HPP arms, especially with regards to weight loss, exercise, and dietary improvements. Future definitive trials of the HRPP are likely to be effective and acceptable in terms of combatting these issues among high-risk patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":54380,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of General Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11492451/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142481001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
