For example, the Framingham Risk Score was developed from predictive equations based on >5000 men and women who were 30 to 74 years old at baseline and were followed up for cardiovascular events for 12 years.…”

“…However, there were a number of promising studies in this group of articles. In a quasi-experimental study, Park and Kim 231 showed that the use of a Web site and SMS improved total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides. Oncescu et al 242 described a device that works with a smartphone camera to measure cholesterol.…”

A lthough mortality for cardiovascular disease (CVD) has declined for several decades, heart disease and stroke continue to be the leading causes of death, disability, and high healthcare costs. Unhealthy behaviors related to CVD risk (eg, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, and unhealthful eating habits) remain highly prevalent. The high rates of overweight, obesity, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); the persistent presence of uncontrolled hypertension; lipid levels not at target; and the ≈18% of adults who continue to smoke cigarettes pose formidable challenges for achieving improved cardiovascular health.1,2 It is apparent that the performance of healthful behaviors related to the management of CVD risk factors has become an increasingly important facet of the prevention and management of CVD. 3In 2010, the American Heart Association (AHA) made a transformative shift in its strategic plan and added the concept of cardiovascular health.2 To operationalize this concept, the AHA targeted 4 health behaviors in the 2020 Strategic Impact Goals: reduction in smoking and weight, healthful eating, and promotion of regular physical activity. Three health indicators also were included: glucose, blood pressure (BP), and cholesterol. On the basis of the AHA Life's Simple 7 metrics for improved cardiovascular health, <1% of adults in the United States follow a healthful eating plan, only 32% have a normal body mass index, and > 30% have not reached the target levels for lipids or BP. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data revealed that people who met ≥6 of the cardiovascular health metrics had a significantly better risk profile (hazard ratio for all-cause mortality, 0.49) compared with individuals who had achieved only 1 metric or none.2 The studies reviewed in this statement targeted these behaviors (ie, smoking, physical activity, healthful eating, and maintaining a healthful weight) and cardiovascular health indicators (ie, blood glucose, lipids, BP, body mass index) as the primary outcomes in the clinical trials testing mobile health (mHealth) interventions.eHealth, or digital health, is the use of emerging communication and information technologies, especially the Internet, to improve health and health care 4 (Table 1). mHealth, a subsegment of eHealth, is the use of mobile computing and communication technologies (eg, mobile phones, wearable sensors) for health services and information.4,5 mHealth technology uses techniques and advanced concepts from an array of disciplines, for example, computer science, electrical and

All studies took place internationally, more specifically two in Spain, 17, 18 one in Russia, 19 one in China, 20 one in South Korea, 21 and one in the Philippines. 22 The studies’ targeted behaviors included a partial or sole focus on HTN management, while two of the studies also focused on weight loss.…”

Background Mobile phone Short Message Service (SMS) is a tool now used by the health research community, providing the capability for instant communication between patients and health professionals. Greater understanding of how to best utilize SMS as a means to improve healthcare delivery and outcomes will foster innovation in research and provide an opportunity to progress as a public health community. Purpose The purposes of this systematic review were two-fold: (1) to provide insight on the most utilized mobile phone SMS practices and characteristics in hypertension (HTN) outcome-focused publications, and (2) to critically evaluate empirical evidence associated with SMS utilization and blood pressure (BP) outcomes. Methods Two independent systematic literature searches were completed. The final selected studies each then underwent data extraction and quality-rating assessment, followed by an evaluation for a meta-analysis to measure mean difference of the change in BP. Results A total of 6 studies meeting the inclusion criteria were included in the review. Feasibility assessment for a meta-analysis was found unfavorable due to the variation among studies. SMS interventions focused on BP management were most effective in studies featuring two-way communication and individual patient-tailored content, and guided by evidence-based HTN management practices. Implications SMS interventions for HTN management were supported through evidence provided by the studies reviewed. SMS holds strong potential to bring greater innovation to HTN management and care, especially in racial/ethnic minority populations that face psychosocial and structural barriers in health care access and utilization.

Increasing obesity rates are still a public health priority. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of tailored text messages on body weight change in overweight and obese adults in a community-based weight management program. A secondary aim was to detect behavioral changes in the same population. The study design was quasi-experimental with pretest and posttest analysis, conducted over 12 weeks. A total of 28 participants were included in the analysis. Body weight, eating behaviors, exercise and nutrition self-efficacy, attitude toward mobile technology, social support, and physical activity were assessed at baseline and at 12 weeks. Text messages were sent biweekly to the intervention but not to the control group. At 12 weeks, the intervention group had lost significant weight as compared with the control group. There was a trend toward an improvement in eating behaviors, exercise, and nutrition self-efficacy in the intervention group, with no significant difference between groups. A total of 79% of participants stated that text messages helped in adopting healthy behaviors. Tailored text messages appear to enhance weight loss in a weight management program at a community setting. Large-scale and long-term intervention studies are needed to confirm these findings.
