Abstract

|
|
Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effects of a cardio-cerebrovascular disease prevention program in middle-aged women.
Methods: We used one group (n=33) in a pre-post test experimental study. The 12-weeks program based on the social ecological model (SEM) comprised individual, interpersonal, organizational, and community levels.
Results: Self-efficacy and health behaviors significantly improved after the program. In addition, abdominal circumference, systolic and diastolic pressure, and fasting blood sugar level were significantly decreased, and the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol significantly increased. No significant differences in body mass index, hemoglobin A1C, triglyceride, or total cholesterol levels were found.
Conclusions: The SEM-based program can improve self-efficacy and health behavior and might have effect to prevent physical and biological risk factors of cardio-cerebrovascular disease among middle-aged women.
