“…Particularly, an SOC promotion program using smart bands strengthens the manageability of knowledge to prevent cardio‐cerebrovascular disease; self‐management of physical activity is improved by visually assessing the distance and number of steps using mobile applications, pedometers, and smart bands (Koring et al., 2013). Additionally, a worksite‐based dietary program combining individual (i.e., individual nutrition counseling) and environmental approaches (i.e., food environment changes through the interaction between managers and workers) is effective in improving workers’ cardiac health (H. J. Kim et al., 2016). In addition to individual activities and counseling, the SOC promotion program reflects the opinions mentioned in the group discussions, including improvement of restaurant menus, addition of diet for health management, and calorie labeling of meals.…”

“…The Chronic Care Model (CCM) is a comprehensive system model with medical and social benefits for patients and healthcare providers [ 29 – 31 ]. Using this model as a reference, some local governments, such as Seoul, South Korea, are running social support programs for MetS, which include education, medical expense support, and free counseling [ 32 ].…”

“…It is assumed that group differences in the changes of the levels of MetS risk factors and adherence to the dietary guidelines were due to different frequencies of text message provision and lifestyle counseling for the groups. Similarly, according to a study of a 10-week dietary modification program for employees in a Korean company, participants with MetS who were provided 3 sessions of group nutrition education and individual counseling showed improvement in WC, SBP, DBP, and HDL-C levels, whereas others who did not receive education or counseling showed no significant change except in glycated hemoglobin level [ 35 ]. In a randomized controlled trial of MetS patients in Italy, the intervention group, who received 1 yr of active counseling regarding health-related lifestyle factors (diet, alcohol consumption, and physical activity) delivered by professionals, exhibited a greater decrease in the prevalence of MetS and significant improvements in dietary behavior, compared with the control group [ 36 ].…”
