Brief summary
To investigate the effects of simple dietary management and diet combined with exercise capacity-targeted intelligent lifestyle management on improving metabolic indicators in patients with overweight/obesity and metabolic syndrome.
Detailed description
This study aims to conduct a randomized controlled clinical trial among occupational populations with overweight/obesity and metabolic syndrome. By implementing a healthy dietary pattern with energy restriction and personalized exercise training interventions, we aim to investigate their effects on improving metabolic syndrome.
Interventions
Dietary Prescription: Using the Mediterranean diet or DASH diet as reference models, dietary prescriptions will be formulated based on the nutritional assessment results of the participants: 1. Energy and Macronutrient Intake: The daily energy intake standard will be estimated according to each participant's Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and physical activity level. The macronutrient ratio will be personalized by the dietitian based on the participant's metabolic indicators. 2. Personalized Dietary Guidance: Based on the baseline dietary assessment and specific metabolic syndrome indicators, dietitians will develop personalized dietary prescriptions. The diet encourages the consumption of raw nuts, fruits, vegetables (including dark-colored vegetables such as spinach, rape, leeks, broccoli, etc.), whole grains, legumes, lean meats, fish, and low-fat dairy products.
Based on the baseline functional fitness tests and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) results, a personalized exercise training regimen will be established. The program will be primarily delivered through instructional videos and monitored via an APP-based exercise log. The specific exercise components include: respiratory muscle training, aerobic training, upper and lower limb resistance training, and flexibility training.
Maintain an ideal body weight, engage in appropriate exercise, modify dietary structure to reduce caloric intake, restrict salt consumption, reduce intake of sugar-sweetened or artificially sweetened beverages, quit smoking, avoid excessive alcohol consumption, and maintain a positive emotional state.
