Suboptimal Health Status, Metabolic Abnormality
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to use monitoring and intervention technologies in suboptimal health status in a general population in China and evaluate the effectiveness of these technologies in the improvement of suboptimal health status.
Detailed description
The Suboptimal health status questionnaire (SHSQ-25) is used to evaluate the suboptimal health status. The SHSQ-25 includes 25 questions. The score of the SHSQ-25 is from 0 to 100. Suboptimal health status is defined as the SHSQ-25 score above than 35. The higher scores of the SHSQ-25 one gets, the more severity of suboptimal health status he/she has. All participants are asked to fill in the SHSQ-25 before and after the intervention. If the score decreases after the intervention, it means that the suboptimal health status has been improved. A monitoring device is used to monitor a person's blood pressure, blood glucose, oxygen saturation, body weight, and energy consumption by Bluetooth Wireless technology. Intervention technologies include a health information push technology and a field-effect meridian therapy instrument.
Interventions
DEVICEmeridian therapy instrument
The meridian therapy instrument are widely used to improve the physical and relieve fatigue and pain in many hospitals by the field-effect.
OTHERhealth information push technology
The health information push technology regularly send health information on the measurements of body weight control and the improvement of a healthy lifestyle.
DEVICEmonitoring device
The monitoring device is used to monitor a person's blood pressure, blood glucose, oxygen saturation, body weight, and energy consumption by Bluetooth Wireless technology.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| the improvement of suboptimal health status | three months | The improvement of suboptimal health status is evaluated by the change of the SHSQ-25 scores after intervention. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| the change of metabolic abnormality | three months | To investigate the change of metabolic abnormality when the monitoring and/or intervention technologies are used. The definition of metabolic abnormality is met when one or more of the following criteria are present: (1) blood pressure ≥ 130 mmHg; (2) fasting blood glucose ≥ 100 mg/dl; (3) body mass index ≥ 28 kg/m2; (4) dyslipidemia (total cholesterol ≥ 200 mg/dl, triglyceride ≥ 150 mg/dl, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ≥ 130 mg/dl, and/or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol \< 40 mg/dl). |
