Trial summary

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the major cause of mortality globally. Applying a comprehensive interventional program based on the individual's risk may reduce the incidence and complications of CVD; thus, helping to decrease the burden on the healthcare system. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Lifestyle Intervention for Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors Among Female Residents at the National Guard Residential City, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, 2015

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the major cause of mortality globally. Applying a comprehensive interventional program based on the individual's risk may reduce the incidence and complications of CVD; thus, helping to decrease the burden on the healthcare system. This study compared the effects of a 3-month intervention involving lifestyle modification and physical activity with standard care in women ≥30 years having a moderate-to-high risk of CVD, with respect to improving physical activity and cardiovascular disease risk factors at the National Guard Residential City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in 2015. The effects of this community-based lifestyle program were assessed through a randomized controlled trial. Women in the intervention group (n=31) received health education, exercise training, and diet counselling as individuals and in groups according to the participant's risk. Women in the control group (n=28) received one health education session at the screening site. The Framingham risk score (FRS) was calculated at baseline and at 3 months for both groups. The mean participant age was 42±8 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Framingham Risk Scores Reduction

    The proportion of individuals with moderate Framingham risk scores (FRS) reducing their risk by 10% and the proportion of individuals with high (FRS) reducing their risk by 25% using the Framingham risk score. It consists of six point scores including age, total cholesterol, smoking status, HDL level, diabetes status, systolic Blood Pressure and Treatment Status. The sum of these points will result in an estimate of the 10-Year risk of developing cardiovascular event and for risk categorization of low (< 10% FRS), moderate (10%-19% FRS), or high risk (≥ 20% FRS).

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Framingham Risk Category Changes

    The proportion of individuals reducing their risk by ≥ 1 risk category using the Framingham risk score. It consists of six point scores including age, total cholesterol, smoking status, HDL level, diabetes status, systolic Blood Pressure and Treatment Status. The sum of these points will result in an estimate of the 10-Year risk of developing cardiovascular event and for risk categorization of low (< 10% FRS), moderate (10%-19% FRS), or high risk (≥ 20% FRS). .

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lifestyle Modification in people with Cardiovascular Diseases, run by King Abdullah International Medical Research Center.

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 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Framingham Risk Scores Reduction (time frame: 3 months). 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 NCT03532815, 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.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Nov 2019.
