About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a program to increase the physical activity of hypertensive patients using medical services and sports facilities of the Mexican Social Security Institute. The primary hypothesis to be proven is: The intervention will increase the proportion of hypertensive patients complying the physical activity minimum at week to get benefits on health in 20%, compare to patients in control group.

Read the detailed description

Secondary Hypothesis:

The intervention achieved a significant change in the group of hypertensive patients in the following variables:

  1. Decreased levels of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, biochemical markers such as total cholesterol, triglycerides and fasting blood glucose and increased HDL cholesterol.
  2. Increase muscular endurance and cardio-respiratory capacity according to the categories of risk stratification.
  3. Decreased body weight, body mass index and waist circumference.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Physical activity prescription to develop program in group.Behavioural

    Overall the intervention involves a medical reference in primary care (PHC) to hypertensive patients (during routine consultation) to assist the sports facilities of the same Institute, to develop a group program of physical activity which will last 24 weeks. Led by the trained staff in physical activity to patients with chronic diseases.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Physical activity. Level of physical activity between intervention and control groups.

    The length of the intervention is 24 weeks, the control group will be followed for 24 weeks also. The outcome measure is a composite at three moments of the study. Basal measurement, 24 weeks and 36 weeks, this last moment to assess sustainability of the intervention.

    The intervention will be effective if the difference in the percent of population (complying the minimum recommended of physical activity) among control and intervention groups is at least of 20%.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Blood pressure

    Blood pressure among intervention and control groups, at the three moments of the study: basal measurement, 24 weeks (end of the intervention) and 36 weeks. The outcome measure is a composite at three moments of the study. Basal measurement, 24 weeks and 36 weeks, this last moment to assess sustainability of the intervention.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Physical activity prescription to develop program in group. in people with Hypertension, run by Coordinación de Investigación en Salud, Mexico at 1 site in Mexico.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Physical activity. Level of physical activity between intervention and control groups. (time frame: 24 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01910935, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
