The aim of the scientific study of the Fifty-Fifty Programme, which involved 543 people, 93 of them in Molina de Segura, has been to reduce these risk factors and also establish a "model of good practice" that can be implemented again in other municipalities.
All participants, who had at least one of the risk factors, received six training workshops aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles: motivation to change, stress management, smoking cessation, healthy eating, regular physical activity and control blood pressure.
After evaluating the results of scientific study it has shown that the Fifty-Fifty Program is able to reduce risk factors and improve cardiovascular health of participants as is evidenced by the fact that 67% of participants in the intervention group improved in one of the five cardiovascular risk factors studied, and nearly half reduced the consumption of snuff.
In the presentation of results of the program has made clear that this intervention improves healthy behaviors of the participants and change related to cardiovascular health habits, it is considered essential to continue prevention programs and healthy promotion that as the Fifty-Fifty program is a valuable help to raise awareness and help make healthy choices.
The program was coordinated, funded and managed by the Spanish Agency for Consumer Affairs, Food Security and Nutrition (AECOSAN) and the Science, Health and Education Foundation (SHE), in the framework of the NAOS Strategy and the Observatory of Nutrition and Research Obesity chaired by Dr. Valentin Fuster.
He also received the advice of the National Center for Cardiovascular Research.
