Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Lifestyle Intervention
Impoverished communities in Lima, Peru will be offered free medical clinics. Four communities have been chosen initially for focus over the following 10 years. These communities will be made aware of their risk for chronic lifestyle related diseases. In conjunction with the communities, specific interventions focused on a plant-based diet, physical activity, stress management and control of unhealthy habits will be devised.
Lifestyle Modification
1. Community awareness: a) individuals will be made aware of their own chronic lifestyle diseases and risk factors b) communities will be made aware of their aggregated data concerning chronic lifestyle related diseases and risk factors.
2. Education for individuals and communities on the meaning of the lifestyle diseases and risk factors. a) individual and small group sessions explaining diseases and lifestyle measures that are helpful, b) community level education to tentatively include i) shopping guides and recipes, ii) urban gardening projects, iii) puppet shows and other community presentations, iv) literature and posters.
