What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effects of a tailored, optimized, and person-centered program aimed at promoting lifestyle modifications in individuals with metabolic syndrome. It employs a mixed-methods approach, including a 2-arm randomized controlled trial and qualitative assessments, with evaluations conducted at baseline, after 12 weeks of intervention, and again at 20 weeks. The study will take place in multiple community centers across Hong Kong, targeting Chinese adults who meet specific criteria for metabolic syndrome.
