Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Background: Many lifestyle-related health disorders are influenced by physical activity level and physical function. Health examinations which focus on musculoskeletal function of people who have risk factors for lifestyle-related disorders, combined with person-centered advice based on risk profiles can give people knowledge and guidance to manage their own lifestyle priorities.

Aim: To investigate the feasibility of a protocol for a randomized controlled trial (RCT) which will examine the preventive effects of musculoskeletal function examinations and person-centered advice on inactive middle-aged people.

Methods: Physically inactive middle-aged people will be invited to participate in a two-part health examination with follow-up after three months in a pilot study. Part 1 is a standard health examination including blood tests and Part 2 is a functional examination of fitness, strength, mobility, balance and posture according to our protocol based on validated tests. The intervention group receives feedback based on both parts of the examination while the control group receives feedback only from Part 1. Physical activity level will be measured objectively with accelerometers at inclusion and follow-up.

Expected results: The pilot study is expected to show whether the planned RCT is practically feasible and to give relevant support for the power analysis for a later full-scale RCT. Better understanding of personal physical function and risk factors can facilitate lifestyle decisions on the individual level which can reduce the risk for later ill-health and need of health-care. Preventive interventions may contribute to reduce the ever-increasing level of lifestyle-related ill-health.
