“…Management of cardiovascular risk includes adoption of healthy lifestyles. However, uptake and completion rates for lifestyle programmes are low and many barriers to lifestyle behaviour change have been reported in the literature . The LRx proposes a way for practitioners to engage their patients in a conversation around behaviour change, cementing the verbal advice that is often given, and presenting smaller steps of change that patients can undertake without support, as well as signposting to further support options, in a brief intervention format.…”

Issues addressed To establish the views of clinicians on the feasibility and effectiveness of using a novel lifestyle prescription form (LRx) which requires co‐signing by clinician and patient and is uniquely based on the design of the standard drug prescription form, in the primary and secondary health care settings. Methods Thirty‐six participants were issued with a “prescription” pad, of 20 LRx scripts, for 1 month and requested to issue an LRx prescription to patients they deemed suitable during their consultation, recording their reason for use of the LRx. Each clinician was then asked to complete a comprehensive feedback questionnaire. Results Feedback of the LRx was overwhelmingly positive. The script was viewed as a more effective way to convey and support cardiovascular lifestyle advice, than usual care. Forty per cent (196 of 480) of the LRx scripts that were provided to primary and secondary care clinicians during the study period were issued. In most consultations, the LRx script was issued to reaffirm dietary advice. Nurses and health care assistants were more likely than doctors to use the LRx in response to a request for lifestyle advice from a patient. Conclusions The LRx may be a useful addition to the clinician's communication toolkit to stimulate lifestyle behaviour changes in their patients. The main barrier to use in the study was lack of consultation time. So what? Issuing the LRx is a method of solidifying lifestyle advice that clinicians could utilise, providing them with another tool in their behaviour change arsenal, particularly with familiarity with the tool.

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS), a comprehensive condition is universally described as a group of several causative factors or abnormalities directly linked with insulin resistance that obviously augment the threat mainly for coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus Type 2, some types of cancers and sleep disturbances, etc. MetS is a contemporary condition that covers a wide-ranging display of disorders with definite metabolic anomalies demonstrating at different times. Consequently, the threat of MetS remains epidemic. This review will potentially study significant factors such as central adiposity, insulin resistance, hypertension, and dyslipidemia; increased inflammation, environmental factors, and genetic predisposition are involved in MetS development. Purpose: This review provides the available facts to validate the relationship between MetS and quality of life. Methods: A thorough exploration in many search engines such as PubMed, Medline, Science direct, EMBASE, and Google scholar was carried out to recognize qualified studies. Results: Almost all studies suggested that MetS is significantly associated with impair quality of life. Lifestyle intervention holds the early preference and such non-pharmacological therapy combines specific suggestion on diet and physical activity with behavioral strategies. For the individuals, where contributing factors are not sufficiently condensed with lifestyle changes, pharmacological treatment should be considered. Conclusion: Therefore, the current study reviews the outline of literature interrelated with the MetS’s characterization, epidemiological existence, pathological process, and management advance for all the risk factors encompassing metabolic disorder.

“…New studies have demonstrated remission from a diabetic state for almost half of a patient population solely on the basis of increased activity and weight loss in a primary care setting [3]. A recent study showed that 96% of a representative sample of 1004 Danes between 40 and 60 years prefer lifestyle change to medication [4].…”

Background: Success with lifestyle change through e-health has been demonstrated in numerous studies, but evidence on how to maintain the effect long-term is more variable. A recent study indicates that 12 months weight loss can be achieved in a primary care setting with almost half of patients achieved remission to a non-diabetic state and off anti-diabetic drugs. The effect of collaborative e-health in promoting lifestyle changes depends on effective and skilled healthcare professionals. How healthcare professionals perceive delivering asynchronous e-health coaching and which determinants are important to deliver successful long-term lifestyle coaching have only been briefly explored and needs to be explored.
