An 8-week Web-based intervention significantly improves physical activity, dietary habits, and quality of life in patients with coronary heart disease undergoing home-based rehabilitation.
Duan et al. (2018) conducted an RCT in Coronary heart disease (n=114). Web-based intervention for multiple health behavior changes vs. Waiting control group was evaluated on Adoption of a healthy lifestyle (meeting both physical activity and fruit/vegetable consumption recommendations) at 8 weeks (OR 21.32, 95% CI 2.40-189.20, p=0.006). An 8-week Web-based intervention significantly increased the likelihood of adopting a healthy lifestyle compared to a waiting control group in patients with coronary heart disease (OR 21.32).
