What are the “best-buys” for health promotion in pharmacy
Chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) significantly contribute to global mortality and diminished quality of life, placing a growing burden on healthcare systems. The World Health Organization has developed cost-effective strategies to manage these diseases, entitled “best buys”, by addressing major risk factors for NCDs, such as smoking, alcohol use, unhealthy diets, and physical inactivity. Pharmacies, as accessible healthcare facilities, ar…
Physical activity policy implementation and physical activity levels in the European Union
Relationship of the Sitless intervention on medication use in community-dwelling older adults
The findings suggest that an exercise-based program enhanced by SMS to reduce SB might influence medication use for acute conditions but there is a need to further investigate effects on long-term medicine use in older adults
Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on Daily Life, Physical Exercise, and General Health among Older People with Type 2 Diabetes
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant alterations to and implications for the lives of millions of people, and especially for those with pre-existing medical conditions. The aim of this study was to explore the lived experience of older people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) throughout the first 9 months of the pandemic, with emphasis on the habits of physical exercise. We conducted a qualitative study using semi-structured inter…
Barriers and Facilitators of Physical Activity Participation in Adolescent Girls
Background: Persistent low physical activity (PA) levels among adolescent girls constitute a public health concern that calls for immediate and evidence-based policy action. This systematic review (SR) aimed to summarize evidence from SRs examining the barriers and facilitators of PA participation in adolescent girls. The objectives were to provide a synthesis of the available evidence and identify key areas for fostering gender-responsive action…
Promoting health-enhancing physical activity in Europe
In the European Union (EU), the low levels of health-enhancing physical activity (HEPA) and high levels of sedentary behaviour are a concerning public health issue common to all Member States. In 2013, the Council of the EU recognized the need for more data related to HEPA to support policymaking across the region and proposed a monitoring framework that included 23 indicators covering different themes relevant to HEPA promotion in the EU context…
Assessment of Good Practices in Community-Based Interventions for Physical Activity Promotion
Tools to identify good practices in the design, implementation, and evaluation of physical activity community-based interventions (PACIs) are key to address the physical inactivity pandemic. Existing tools tend to be extensive and with limited applicability to assess small-scale PACIs. This work aimed to report the development and preliminary validity results of a simple, practical, and user-friendly tool to evaluate PACIs in local/municipal cont…
The impact of a community‐based food education programme on dietary pattern in patients with type 2 diabetes
The purpose of this study was to analyse the effects of a food education programme, with easy-to-implement strategies integrated in a community-based exercise programme, on dietary pattern of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Thirty-three patients (65.4 ± 5.9 years old) were engaged in a 9-month randomised controlled trial: a supervised exercise programme (control group [CON]; n = 15; combined exercise; three sessions per week; 75 min per sess…
Follow the Whistle
To raise perceived capability (C), opportunity (O) and motivation (M) for physical activity (PA) behaviour (B) among adults, the Portuguese Directorate-General of Health developed a mass media campaign named "Follow the Whistle", based on behaviour change theory and social marketing principles. Comprehensive formative and process evaluation suggests this media-led campaign used best-practice principles. The campaign adopted a population-wide appr…
Physical Activity Promotion Tools in the Portuguese Primary Health Care
These tools represent key actions to promote PA among Portuguese citizens using PHC as a priority setting. Further initiatives will follow, including proper assessment of their clinical impact and training programs for health care professionals on PA promotion
The Impact of a Community-Based Food Education Program on Nutrition-Related Knowledge in Middle-Aged and Older Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of a community-based food education program on nutrition-related knowledge in middle-aged and older patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Participants ( n = 36; 65.9 ± 6.0 years old) were recruited in primary health care to a 9-month community-based lifestyle intervention program for patients with T2D and randomly assigned to an exercise program (control group; n = 16) or an exercise program plu…
High-Intensity Interval Training Versus Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training in Middle-Aged and Older Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
ISRCTN09240628
Implementing Low-Cost, Community-Based Exercise Programs for Middle-Aged and Older Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
A long-term, community-based, combined exercise program developed with low-cost exercise strategies was effective in inducing significant benefits on glycemic control, lipid profile, blood pressure, anthropometric profile, and the 10-year risk of coronary artery disease in middle-aged and older patients with type 2 diabetes. Clinical Trial Identification Number: ISRCTN09240628
