“…We also found that MetS risk was lower in individuals with more than an elementary school education, consistent with a report that MetS risk was lower in Portuguese women with more than 12 years of education (Santos et al., ). Better educated people may have better health knowledge, which may contribute to healthier lifestyle behaviors (Kudo, Okada, Tsunoda, Satoh, & Aizawa, ). Our participants who were married or living with family members tended to have a higher MetS risk, suggesting that families should be assessed as a unit since they share a similar lifestyle or genetic makeup (Santos et al., ).…”

“…Selecting a proper educational model is the first step in the educational planning process [ 15 ]. The health belief model (HBM) refers to one of the affective educational models in preventing chronic diseases and health promotion and acted as a practical framework for designing educational interventions and promoting preventive behaviors [ 16 , 17 ]. This model is a comprehensive model that plays a significant role in disease prevention.…”

Background Hypertension is one of the major causes of many diseases, such as heart attack, strokes, kidney failure, and many internal disorders. This presentresearch study aimed to investigate the impact of educational programs based on the health belief model to promote hypertension prevention behavior of Iran University of Medical Sciences staff. Methods This study has incorporated pretest-posttest quasi-experimental based on 128 staff members and randomly assigned the recruited and involved participants to an intervention (n = 64) and a control group (n = 64). The data collection tool was based on a questionnaire related to health belief model constructs based on 42 questions. The study interpreted the results using ANCOVA and robust ANCOVA as suitable approaches. Results ANCOVA showed improvement in the cues to participants’ action following educational interventional (p = 0.011). the robust ANCOVA specified that the intervention was successful for participants with low to moderate initial levels of knowledge, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived barriers, and self-efficacy scores. The levels of these components did not change in participants with very high baseline scores. Compared to a control group, regardless of baseline score, the perceived benefits and practice (behavior) of participants at the intervention group were improved significantly (P < 0.05). Conclusion This current study specified that the education-based health belief model effectively promotes hypertension preventive behaviors among Iran University of Medical Sciences staff.

“…[8] Modification of a lifestyle being an important intervention strategy necessitates consideration of factors such as knowledge, attitude, social support, etc., which can determine adoption of healthy behavior by an individual. [9] Literature search shows that cognitive factors (knowledge)[10] and emotional factors (attitude) toward healthy behaviors[11] positively affect healthy behavior among MS patients. Although the factors influencing healthy behavior for MS are being widely studied,[12] lacunae in the research persist in a developing country like India, which is in urgent need to tackle the growing burden of NCDs.…”

Background: Indian subcontinent has highest rates of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) worldwide. Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a condition which can lead to many complications including CVDs. Most of the studies in India have been done about prevalence of MS; this study intends to study their awareness and perceptions about CVD risk factors, which can help to plan and implement the educational health programs in a better and effective manner to prevent complications in these patients. Materials and Methods: It was a cross-sectional study conducted from April 2017 to March 2018 in a teaching hospital of Udaipur, Rajasthan. It involved 402 patients of MS diagnosed using National Cholesterol Education Program – Adult Treatment Panel III criteria with an anthropometric modification of waist circumference (WC) value that is specifically applicable to South Asians. A 43-item questionnaire was used to assess knowledge, attitude, and health-seeking behavior (KAP) toward CVD disease risk factors. KAP scores were characterized into poor, average, and good. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi square, and ANOVA. Results: Majority (58%) of the MS patients were males and belonged to middle socioeconomic status (63%). The study subjects were found to have average knowledge and good attitude but poor practices. Males, patients with lower WC, and lower fasting blood sugar showed significantly better knowledge scores. Good attitude scores were associated with education and WC. Younger subjects, patients having better sugar control, and lower WC had significantly better practices. Conclusion: Despite having good attitude, MS patients were not following good lifestyle practices to prevent CVD. Results in this study call for intensive educational interventions required to prevent complications in these patients.
