Application of a Precision Lifestyle Medicine Clinical Program for a Sample of IFHAS Screening Cohort

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Behavioral, Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a precision lifestyle medicine intervention can improve cardiometabolic health in Emirati adults aged 25 to 50 years living in Abu Dhabi with obesity (BMI 30-35 kg/m²) who have previously completed IFHAS screening. The study will also use IFHAS screening data to better understand participants' health profiles and the relationship between lifestyle factors and chronic diseases. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does a precision lifestyle medicine program improve cardiometabolic biomarkers after an 18-week intervention? * Can IFHAS screening data be used to identify health risk profiles and support personalized lifestyle interventions for the Emirati population? Researchers will compare participants receiving the precision lifestyle medicine intervention with a propensity-matched control group receiving standard IFHAS care to determine whether the intervention leads to greater improvements in cardiometabolic health. Participants will: * Take part in an 18-week personalized lifestyle medicine program tailored to their health profile. * Attend study visits and complete health assessments over a total study period of 24 weeks. * Undergo cardiometabolic biomarker assessments before and after the intervention. * Complete questionnaires or assessments about their adherence to the lifestyle program and their experience with the precision lifestyle medicine clinic. * Provide biological samples to support the establishment of a biomarker repository for future research.

Treatments
Experimental: Precision Lifestyle Medicine Intervention
Participants receive an 18-week precision lifestyle medicine intervention program based on IFHAS screening and risk stratification, including personalized lifestyle recommendations and clinical follow-up. Participants remain in the study for 24 weeks, with cardiometabolic outcomes assessed before and after the intervention.
Active_comparator: Standard IFHAS Care (Matched Control)
Retrospective propensity score-matched control participants identified from the IFHAS cohort who receive standard IFHAS care and do not participate in the precision lifestyle medicine intervention. This comparison group is created using propensity score weighting to estimate intervention effects.
