Abstract

We studied ways to introduce specific health guidance. Twenty-two men and women were randomly divided into C group (10 people) and H group (12 people). H group received guidance based on the result of an investigation using the health practice index ( HPI : Number from Breslow's seven lifestyle categories including : exercise, breakfast, eating between meals, sleep, smoking, drinking, and proper body weight). For C group, usual guidance without a preparatory audit was done as a contrast. The effects of the health guidance were compared based on changing BMI and HPI scores after three months. As a result, both groups had a significant BMI score decrease as well as an increase in their HPI score, but the changes in H group were larger than in C group. The number of those having the exercise habit in H group was especially increased compared to C group. In conclusion, our study suggested that effective health guidance could be practiced by utilizing HPI to find out the critical problems in lifestyle and select valuable contents for an appropriate guidance focused on individual issues.
