This project aims to develop a community-based health promotion intervention model for populations at potential risk of metabolic syndrome. Through exercise training and lifestyle modifications, the project seeks to improve cardiopulmonary function and disease control, align with current public health policies, and establish an evidence-based model with strong potential for broader implementation.
Background： Hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia are major risk factors for cardiovascular disease, with prevalence continuing to rise in Taiwan. These conditions are closely associated with shared risk factors such as aging, obesity, and smoking. The districts of Xinzhuang, Wugu, and Taishan in New Taipei City are densely populated and have a significant aging population. Environmental changes such as urbanization and air pollution pose threats to residents' cardiopulmonary health. Exercise interventions have been proven effective in improving blood pressure, blood glucose, and lipid profiles, as well as enhancing cardiopulmonary function and quality of life. Therefore, implementing structured and personalized exercise promotion programs in the community is of great importance for disease control and health promotion among populations with metabolic syndrome.
Methods： Participants will first undergo a one-month in-hospital conventional exercise training program, followed by an eleven-month home-based exercise intervention. During and after the intervention period, physical activity assessments and biochemical blood tests will be conducted.
Effect： This project aims to establish a community-based health promotion model for individuals at risk of hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia, centered on exercise interventions and lifestyle modifications. Through assessment, stratification, intervention, and outcome tracking, the project seeks to enhance health behaviors, self-management skills, and cardiopulmonary function in at-risk populations, thereby slowing disease progression and reducing healthcare resource utilization. The research findings will be submitted to relevant domestic and international academic conferences and SCI journals to increase Taiwan's international visibility in the fields of geriatric and "three highs" care. Additionally, the project will cultivate a new generation of healthcare professionals equipped with practical skills in preventive medicine and health promotion, strengthening interprofessional teamwork and community outreach capacity.

Exclusion Criteria:
appendicular skeletal muscle mass index
appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) divided by height squared; low muscle mass is defined as ASMI \< 7.0 kg/m² in men and \< 5.7 kg/m² in women
Time frame: From enrollment to the end of intervention at 12 months
six minute walk test
functional performance; higher scores mean a better outcome

Started May 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2026, 7 months after the start.
Of 345 non-industry observational studies under Hypertension, half reached primary completion within 44 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 111. This study's planned 7 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 426 studies reached it within 38 months; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 96.
