A Web-based Approach to Treating Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Employees With Metabolic Syndrome (BEHHS)
19. februar 2015 oppdatert av: Baptist Health South Florida
Baptist Employee Healthy Heart Study (BEHHS) - A Novel Web-based Approach to Reduce Cardiovascular Disease Risk in a Diverse Employee Population With Metabolic Syndrome Via Diet and Lifestyle Change
The purpose of BEHHS is first to assess the baseline sub-clinical disease in a population of Baptist Health Employees who have Metabolic Syndrome, a known contributor to cardiovascular disease.
Second, the investigators wish to encourage a healthy lifestyle through personalized nutrition and fitness advice, delivered as part of a web based program, which will in turn lead to increases in heart healthy behaviors such as increased consumption of heart healthy foods, increased exercise initiation, and more positive attitudes about health.
To assess this, the investigators plan to randomize 200 employees with Metabolic Syndrome to either the new web-based diet and lifestyle program, or to care-as-usual, which is the currently offered MyWellnessAdvantage and WebMD websites.
The investigators hypothesize that the web-based group will show greater improvements in physical health (such as weight loss, cholesterol reduction, etc.) as well as increased consumption of heart healthy foods, exercise initiation, and quality of sleep as measured by surveys administered at the 4,8, and 12 month follow-up appointments.

|---|---|
|
Eksperimentell: My Everyday Health Group
Subjects in this group will be randomized to a web based diet and weight modification program (MyEveryday Health) and provided personal access codes.
They will also continue to have access to the WebMD website provided as part of their employment with Baptist Health South Florida.
|
MyEveryday Health is a web-based nutritional and lifestyle management program.
The program includes personalized diet and weight guidance, meal planners, shopping list generator, recipe finder, weight tracker and dining out and fast food guides.
Based on specific algorithms, tips and suggestions on how to make changes in their diet and lifestyle will be give each time the subject logs in.
The MyEverydayHealth website will also be available as an app for their smart phone to the participants.
If they choose to use the app, daily reminders to log in and use their tools will be sent, along with motivating tool/tips/tricks to stay with the program.
