Cohort study and intervention trial on prevention of lifestyle related diseases in Muang district, Chaing Rai, Thiland

在泰国清莱省8个医疗中心的糖尿病和高血压患者中进行了一项集群随机试验。干预组采用数字测盐仪进行2次可视化含盐量健康教育。本研究纳入Framingham评分为bbbb15 %的患者（干预组：n= 384，对照组：n=394）。他们测量了一年的血压和24小时的盐摄入量。高盐摄入患者的减盐意识水平较低。这些结果表明了开展健康教育的必要性。我们还在MaeTha区卫生中心的患者中开展了戒烟介入研究。干预措施包括健康教育、家庭支持和使用尼古丁口香糖。对患者进行登记和随访；干预组（n=129）、普通服务组（n=132）和无意戒烟组（n=29）。这项研究正在进行中。

A cluster randomized trial was conducted among patients attending diabetes and hypertension at the eight health centers in Chiang Rai province, Thailand. The health education via visualization of salt content using a digital salt-meter was provided twice in the intervention group. Patients with a Framingham score >15% (intervention: n= 384, control: n=394) were included in this study. Blood pressure, and 24-hour salt intake were measured for a year. The level of awareness about salt reduction was lower among high salt intake patients. These results indicated the necessity of providing health education. We also started a smoking secession interventional study among the patients at health centers in MaeTha district. The intervention consists of health education, family support, and use of nicotine gum. Patients were registered and followed; an intervention group (n=129), a group with ordinal service (n=132), and a group with no intention to stop smoking (n=29). This study is ongoing.
