Fitbit activity tracking for heart health in rural women
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a Fitbit to track small movements can improve heart health and metabolic risk factors in inactive rural women. You will be asked to wear a fitness tracker and participate for a few months, which may help you become more active and lower your risk for diabetes or heart disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 to 80.
- You are not very active (less than 150 minutes of exercise per week).
- You have been diagnosed with or have a history of at least 3 cardiometabolic risk factors (like high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high triglycerides, low HDL, or a large waist).
- You have a smartphone (iPhone or Android) that can install the Fitbit app, and you receive care at one of the Larry Combest Community Health & Wellness Center sites.
- You are not pregnant and can safely do light to moderate physical activity.
