Fitbit for heart health in rural women
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests if wearing a Fitbit to track small movements can improve heart health and metabolic syndrome in women who are not very active. It may help you if you live in a rural area and have risk factors like high blood sugar or blood pressure.
