Sex- differences in response to a online health behaviour change intervention developed for individuals at risk of developing chronic diseases.
EF 2017-18
Résumé
Poor diet and physical inactivity among individuals has an negative impact on the population. Individuals with lower level of physical activity and poor diet are prone to many risk factors such as obesity, type 2 diabetes and chronic heart disease. Health behavior risk factors are modifiable, hence, if modified, can reduce the occurrence of chronic disease, widening the life expectancy.
The purpose of my study is to determine the reduction in risk factors due to change in health behaviors by use of online intervention in adults.
men and women would participate in the 12-week online health behaviour change intervention. A customized exercise program and dietary recommendation will be given online. The differences in risk factor pre and post intervention will be assessed in every participant.The results of an sex-specific response to health behaviour change intervention can bring an interesting insight about the difference male and females have due to their biological sex while responding to the interventions. These response outcomes can help to modify future online behaviour change interventions and bring out more better results in behavioural factors through online platform.
