This study tested an integrated intervention on occupational sedentary/physical activity behaviors, cardiometabolic disease biomarkers, musculoskeletal discomfort, and work productivity.
For example, the MEDLINE search flagged 457 integrated prediction studies and 503 integrated intervention studies.
Community based integrated intervention at earlier stages of COPD and before its development could significantly slow the decline in FEV1.
Conclusions A community based integrated intervention can have a significant impact on the prevention and management of COPD, mainly reflected in the annual rate of decline in FEV1.
Objective To evaluate the effects of a community based integrated intervention for early prevention and management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in China.
In conclusion, this community based integrated intervention helped to prevent and control COPD through improved awareness of COPD, reduced risk factors for COPD, and a reduction of the rate of decline in FEV1.
H6: An integrated intervention will be more cost-effective than an intervention of exercise or PCST alone when costs are compared and related to the effects of the intervention at 52 weeks.
An integrated intervention addressing multiple risks simultaneously can be implemented in a prenatal, primary care clinic setting, although there were formidable challenges that required both skill and flexibility in delivery.
4 We carried out a four year community based integrated intervention study to establish a reliable strategy for prevention and management of COPD at its early stages or before its development.
36 37 38 In contrast, a community based integrated intervention for early prevention and management of COPD in a Chinese setting, with a potentially larger room for improvement, showed a significant effect on smoking cessation rates and improvements in knowledge.
Therefore, since integrated intervention approaches are potentially more effective, they could be used with large groups of adolescents and young adults, e.g. in schools or workplaces, with only marginally higher costs compared to the smoking cessation only intervention.
