This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of early lifestyle intervention on high-risk groups of metabolic syndrome. Methods In a two-arm randomized controlled 1-year trial, we compared the effectiveness of a general recommendation-based program of lifestyle intervention carded out by wained professionals versus standard unstructured information given by physicians at reducing the prevalence of multiple metabolic and inflammatory abnormalities in 306 adults aged 45-64 years in Xiaogan city, China. Results At baseline, clinical/ anthropometric/laboratory and lifestyle characteristics of the intervention （n= 153 ） and control （n= 153） groups were not significantly different. The former significantly reduced total/saturated fat intake and increased polyunsaturated fat/fiber intake and exercise level compared to the controls. Weight, waist circumference, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and most of the metabolic syndrome components decreased in the intervention group and increased in the controls after 12 months. Lifestyle intervention significantly reduced metabolic syndrome （OR=0.28; 95% CI 0.18-0.44）, with a 31% （95% C121-41） absolute risk reduction, corresponding to 3.2 （95% CI, 2-5） patients needing to be treated to prevent 1 case after 12 months. The intervention significantly reduced the prevalence of central obesity （OR=0.33; 95% CI, 0.20-0.56）, and hypertriglyceridemia （OR=0.48; 95% CI, 0.31-0.75） and the incidence of diabetes （OR=0.23; 95% CI, 0.06-0.85）. Conclusions A lifestyle intervention based on general recommendations was effective in reducing multiple metabolic/inflammatory abnormalities. The usual care by clinical physicians was ineffective at modifying progressive metabolic deterioration in high-risk individuals （J Geriatr Cardio12010; 7：10-16）.展开更多

Consequently it explains the nature of different lifestyles in different cultures and the process of second language learning.Also,it explores the significance of cultural awareness in second language learning and teaching and the strategies to incorporate lifestyles into second language teaching.The findings of this literature review strongly suggest the importance for second language teachers to incorporate culture into classroom teaching.Learning a second language cannot be separated from learning the target culture which facilitates successful language learning and reduces prejudice,misunderstanding and stereotyped notions towards the target language group.展开更多

Health and longevity of citizens is not only important symbols of national development and prosperity but also the common wish of the Chinese people. Actually,smart wearable technology is an emerging one and the application of some smart wearable devices such as health watch is the most promising one in the health industry. As new psychotherapy,cognitive behavioral therapy( CBT) can change the poor awareness by means of changing one's way of thinking,thus eliminating the unhealthy emotions and behaviors. In terms of health management,CBT enjoys such advantages as guidance,motivation,integrity and short therapy time. This paper introduces the improvement of smart wearable device guided by professional health management solutions on individual health by taking Philips health watch as an example,and the users can therefrom get full understanding of the relationship between smart wearable devices and health,thus improving their individual health.展开更多
