Brief Summary: Aims This Pilot study aims to develop and determine the feasibility and acceptability of a mobile application (MetS app) together with a modified Life style modification Program (LIP) for soon-to-aged adults with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and to determine the sample size for the main RCT. .

Methods A prospective randomized control trial design with process evaluation will be adopted. Inclusion criteria are those MetS participants, age 45 or above, able to use a smart phone. A total of eighty eligible participants will be recruited from 2-3 community Centres. Control group will receive standard care while intervention group will receive a MetS app. Standard care consists of a modified three-month lifestyle modification booklet, a 30 minutes educational session. The intervention group will receive a 30 minute education session plus MetS support, which will be guided by health belief model to support an individual self- monitoring and record of health measures (body weight, blood pressure, waist circumference) and physical exercise (goal setting of exercise and record) across three months. All information from the LIP booklet are also installed in the MetS platform as well. The primary outcomes will be waist measure and the total physical exercise (GSLTPAQ). The secondary outcomes included cardio-metabolic risk factors, cardiovascular endurance, self-efficacy for exercise (SEE) and stress level (PSS-10) and quality of Life (SF12). Data will be collected at baseline, one-month (T1) and three-month (T2). SPSS version 23 and Generalized Estimating equations (GEE) model will be employed to examine the effects of the LIP with MetS app support.
Detailed Description: Background Educational programme intervention on Lifestyle modification is recommended as the primary intervention for metabolic syndrome (MetS), a cluster of cardio-metabolic risk factors with a high prevalence rate globally and locally. Recent studies of lifestyle intervention program (LIP) have been reported as effective on physical indicators and quality of life (QoL) among MetS adult. However, they have the challenges in the delivery in making care scalable and little is known about the effect on exercise outcomes such as total exercise, cardiovascular endurance after exercise as well as whether the outcomes of this programme can be applied in Hong Kong and improved by adding the mobile application.

Aims This Pilot study aims to develop and determine the feasibility and acceptability of a mobile application (MetS app) together with a modified Life style modification Program (LIP) for soon-to-aged adults with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and to determine the sample size for the main RCT. .

Methods A prospective randomized control trial design with process evaluation will be adopted. Inclusion criteria are those MetS participants, age 45 or above, able to use a smart phone. A total of eighty eligible participants will be recruited from 2-3 community Centres. Control group will receive standard care while intervention group will receive a MetS app. Standard care consists of a modified three-month lifestyle modification booklet, a 30 minutes educational session. The intervention group will receive a 30 minute education session plus MetS support, which will be guided by health belief model to support an individual self- monitoring and record of health measures (body weight, blood pressure, waist circumference) and physical exercise (goal setting of exercise and record) across three months. All information from the LIP booklet are also installed in the MetS platform as well. The primary outcomes will be waist measure and the total physical exercise (GSLTPAQ). The secondary outcomes included cardio-metabolic risk factors, cardiovascular endurance, self-efficacy for exercise (SEE) and stress level (PSS-10) and quality of Life (SF12). Data will be collected at baseline, one-month (T1) and three-month (T2). SPSS version 23 and Generalized Estimating equations (GEE) model will be employed to examine the effects of the LIP with MetS app support.

Significance This pilot study will provide insights to guide the main study. The findings will facilitate the development of MetS app that could support the self-efficacy for physical health monitoring and exercise of patients with MetS. Such programme may enhance patient's self-management and monitoring of MetS, exercise behavior sustainability that will be beneficial to reduced MetS risk profile, and improves psychological health and quality of life.
