“…A relationship between dietary patterns and chronic diseases has been shown in the literature. 22 However, it is also known that adults who have multiple chronic disease risk factors reported poorer diet quality. 23 Taylor et al 24 have reported that nutrition literacy may predict adherence to a healthy or an unhealthy diet pattern in adults who have a nutrition-related chronic condition.…”

Aims: While it has become easier for consumers to reach information with the developments in technology, however, to be able to find the right resources for the information has become difficult. It is known that this situation is related to the health and nutrition literacy of individuals. In this study, it was aimed to determine health literacy, digital healthy diet literacy and healthy eating attitudes of adult individuals. Methods: Study data were collected with the help of a questionnaire form from 150 individuals (106 females and 44 males, mean age 32.1±10.62 years) who live in Türkiye and voluntarily agreed to participate in the study between January and June 2023. Results: More than half of the participants (56%) were found to have more than six hours of daily screen time. The most common sources of information on health and nutrition are reported as academic databases and Instagram (both 30.7%). In both genders, individuals' eating attitudes towards healthy eating were found to be high. When the factors affecting health literacy and digital healthy diet literacy were examined, it was seen that daily screen time, working status and having chronic diseases were statistically important factors (p

“…The literature highlighted that in rural areas of developing countries, the elderly population heavily relies on government or charitable organizations for financial support in managing chronic diseases [24]. However, the number of chronically ill elderly is rising, and the existing assistance methods are insufficient to adequately address the expenses associated with chronic diseases [25]. In response to the challenge of limited income for managing chronic conditions in rural Chinese areas, this paper presents a Sustainable Health Product-Service System Design Model.…”

Insufficient income, inadequate healthcare resources, and insufficient chronic disease management awareness pose a fundamental obstacle to the sustained health maintenance of elderly individuals with chronic diseases in rural areas. In response to these challenges, this study adopted a research-through-design approach and introduced system design thinking by incorporating new stakeholders, experiential insights, and services. Initially, during the background research stage, a semi-structured interview was conducted to gain an understanding of the pains, needs, and potential opportunities of the target users. Subsequently, in the design model construction stage, desk research was carried out to refine and integrate the common components identified in various design models. In a focus group, these components were then incorporated into the development of a Sustainable Health Product-Service System Design Model tailored for rural elderly with chronic diseases after refining the pains, needs, and potential opportunities defined in the first stage. This design model encompassed elements including a background layer, a stakeholder layer, a funding layer, a product layer, a service layer, and an information layer. In the system design and design model validation stage, a design project aimed at health maintenance was launched within Liyang Town, with the design thinking method following a process of empathizing, defining, ideating, prototyping, and testing. Throughout the project, the established model guided the design process and facilitated the conceptualization and implementation of a Product-Service system. In conclusion, an investigation encompassing 15 elderly individuals was undertaken to analyze their income balance, health condition, health awareness, and their satisfaction with the health system. This analysis spanned the period both before and after their involvement in the project. The outcomes of this examination revealed notable enhancements across all three dimensions evaluated, highlighting the positive impact of the project on the elderly participants. Furthermore, the project’s social benefits were also comprehensively established.

“…6 Additionally, research in China suggests that excessive energy intake contributes to the high incidence of stroke and hypertension, with high consumption of edible salt being the major cause of these conditions in northern China. 7,8 Given that most NCDs are chronic and reversible, an efficient way to control NCDs is educating individuals on healthy lifestyles, such as eating well-balanced diet and exercising regularly. 9,10 The World Health Organization (WHO) currently recommends that adults carry out at least 150 minutes of moderateintensity aerobic exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic exercise each week.…”

To reduce unhealthy lifestyles in China, it is critical to implement effective strategies. Counseling provided by physicians is important for assisting patients in improving their lifestyles, and general practitioners (GPs) are the main providers of lifestyle counseling to patients. However, few studies have focused on the lifestyle counseling practices by GPs in China, particularly in regard to nutrition and physical activity. Objective: The aims of this study are: (i) to examine the current practice of Chinese GPs in counseling patients regarding nutrition and physical activity; (ii) to understand the common barriers to such counseling by Chinese GPs; and (iii) to study the association between GPs' personal lifestyle choices and their practices in lifestyle counseling. Methods: A cross-sectional, self-reported online questionnaire was conducted among GPs in Hunan province, China. A total of 198 GPs completed the questionnaire. Results: The majority of GPs provide nutrition and physical activity counseling to less than 40% of their patients, spending less than three minutes per counseling session. The main reported barriers to counseling on nutrition and physical activity are inadequate time and a lack of knowledge or experience. GPs primarily acquire knowledge through medical books and journals, followed by science popularization. Furthermore, GPs who maintain healthier lifestyle habits, possess a better understanding of lifestyle guidelines, conduct longer office visits, and exhibit higher self-efficacy are more likely to provide counseling to patients. Conclusion:This study highlights the need for improvement in nutrition and physical activity counseling among Chinese GPs. GPs' personal nutrition and physical activity habits may measurably influence their counseling practice. We recommend that GPs themselves adopt healthier lifestyle habits to potentially improve their counseling practice. Moreover, proactive measures should be taken to assist GPs in overcoming barriers encountered with lifestyle counseling.
