Lifestyle change and cardiovascular disease. Principles and practice.

Changes in patients' lifestyles can be approached in a practical fashion by working through the relevant 'stages of change'. Helping patients to change their lifestyles does not have to be a very time-consuming process for the clinician, but it does require planning, and attention to those factors that are important at each stage of the process. Although this paper has a focus on lifestyle change for the reduction of CVD risk factors, the same principles can apply to lifestyle change and disease prevention for other disorders.

Lifestyle change and cardiovascular disease. Evidence and issues.

Lifestyle change is an area in which the medical practitioner has a great deal to offer: to high-risk patients and to individuals generally. The evidence supporting the cardiovascular health benefits of lifestyle change comes from a variety of scientific sources. While the recent large-scale intervention studies have not always had unequivocal outcomes, on balance, the epidemiological evidence points to the central importance of lifestyle change in reducing CVD risk. Recently the United States Preventive Services Task Force22 has published guidelines on lifestyle change and other interventions for CVD risk and for a range of other preventable health problems. The United States Task Force's recommendations have been favourably reviewed by the National Health and Medical Research Council in Australia, and are considered to be relevant to medical practice in this country.

Cardiovascular risk reduction through lifestyle change in clinical settings.

A large amount of observational and experimental research has demonstrated that lifestyle factors are important determinants of cardiovascular disease. In particular, epidemiological evidence from large, controlled multiple risk factor intervention trials and research examining the effects of secular changes in lifestyle on changing morbidity and mortality rates indicate that changes in lifestyle can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). This paper provides an overview of the lifestyle change process and provides guidelines for increasing the efficacy of lifestyle change interventions in clinical settings.
