Interventions

  • LIGHTER-MetS — BEHAVIORAL
    The LIGHTER-MetS program includes community-based health coaching by the PI or a trained healthcare professional (e.g. nurse, physiotherapist etc.) at baseline visit and for 3 months following the baseline visit. Throughout the first 3 months, participants will also use the eTRIP© app to log meals, monitor physical activity, and receive personalized feedback. During the 3-month intervention period, there will be one-to-one slots for the health coach to follow up on participants' health plan.

Study Details

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Lifestyle Intervention for Gentle, Healthy Transformation and Enhanced Weight Reduction-metabolic syndrome (LIGHTER-MetS) program on dietary self-regulation and cardiovascular risk among individuals with metabolic syndrome (MetS). The LIGHTER-MetS program, a community-based, grassroots-led initiative, integrates health coaching with the eTRIP© app to promote sustainable lifestyle changes focusing on diet, exercise, and emotion regulation.

Arms

  • Experimental: LIGHTER-MetS
    The LIGHTER-MetS program includes community-based health coaching by the PI or a trained healthcare professional (e.g. nurse, physiotherapist etc.) at baseline visit and for 3 months following the baseline visit. Throughout the first 3 months, participants will also use the eTRIP© app to log meals, monitor physical activity, and receive personalized feedback. During the 3-month intervention period, there will be one-to-one slots for the health coach to follow up on participants' health plan.
  • No Intervention: Control
    Participants will receive personalised health plans provided as part of usual care when they see a family physician. As part of the HealthierSG initiative, health plans are typically formulated to target early disease prevention and chronic condition management through history taking, physical examination, appropriate diagnostic testing, treatment, referrals and lifestyle modification goals and activity planning.

Primary Outcome Measure

Self regulation of Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (SREBQ) [ Time Frame: At baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months. ]
