- ItemCellular phone and Internet-based individual intervention on blood pressure and obesity in obese patients with hypertension.(2009-08-24) Park, Min-Jeong; Kim, Hee-Seung; Kim, Kyung-SooPURPOSE The present study evaluated whether an intervention using a short message service SMS by cellular phone and Internet would improve blood pressure weight control and serum lipids of obese patients with hypertension during 8 weeks METHODS This is a quasi experimental design with pre and follow up tests Participants were recruited from the family medicine outpatient department of tertiary care hospital located in an urban city of South Korea Twenty eight patients were assigned to an intervention group and 21 to a control group The goal of intervention was to bring blood pressure body weight and serum lipids levels close to normal ranges Patients in the intervention group were requested to record their blood pressure and body weight in a weekly web based diary through the Internet or by cellular phones The researchers sent optimal recommendations as an intervention to each patient by both cellular phone and Internet weekly The intervention was applied for 8 weeks RESULTS Systolic SBP and diastolic blood pressures DBP significantly decreased by 9 1 and 7 2 mmHg respectively at 8 weeks from the baseline in the intervention group pUnder0 05 However after 8 weeks from the baseline both SBP and DBP in the control group had not changed significantly Yet There were significant mean decreases in body weight and waist circumference by 1 6 kg pUnder0 05 and 2 8 cm pUnder0 05 in the intervention group respectively In the control group increases in body weight and waist circumference pUnder0 05 mean changes were also significant High density lipoprotein cholesterol HDL C significantly increased with a mean change of 3 7 mg dl at 8 weeks from baseline in the intervention group pUnder0 05 The mean change of HDL C in the control group was however not significant CONCLUSION During 8 weeks using this web based intervention by way of cellular phone and Internet SMS improved blood pressure body weight waist circumference and HDL C in patients with obese hypertension
- Item[Effects of Web-based health education on blood glucose and blood pressure improvement in postmenopausal women with impaired fasting blood glucose].(2011-12-06) Oh, Jeong-Ah; Kim, Hee-Seung; Park, Min-Jeong; Shim, Hye-SunPURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of an educational intervention that used both cellular phones and the Internet to provide a short messaging service SMS relating to blood glucose blood pressure and serum lipid levels in postmenopausal women with impaired fasting glucose IFG METHODS Twenty eight postmenopausal women were assigned to an intervention group and twenty one postmenopausal women to a control group The intervention was provided for 12 weeks Patients in the intervention group were asked to access a web site by using a cellular phone or to use the Internet directly and input their blood glucose and blood pressure levels weekly Participants were sent the optimal recommendations weekly by both cellular phone and Internet RESULTS The intervention group had a mean decrease in systolic blood pressure SBP level of 8 1 mmHg but changes for the control group were not significant There was a significant mean change in diastolic blood pressure DBP level for the intervention group 7 7 mmHg The mean change in the control group was not significant CONCLUSION This educational intervention using the Internet and a SMS by cellular phone improved levels of SBP and DBP in postmenopausal women with IFG
- ItemEvaluation of mobile phone and Internet intervention on waist circumference and blood pressure in post-menopausal women with abdominal obesity.(2012-05-07) Park, Min-Jeong; Kim, Hee-SeungPURPOSE The present study evaluated whether an intervention using a short message service SMS by personal cellular phone and Internet would reduce cardiovascular risk factors in post menopausal women with abdominal obesity over 12 weeks METHODS This is a quasi experimental design with pre and post tests Participants were recruited from the gynecology outpatient and family medicine departments of a tertiary care hospital located in an urban city of South Korea Only 67 subjects completed the entire study 34 in the intervention group and 33 controls The goal of intervention was to reduce waist circumference WC body weight BW and blood pressure BP levels Before the intervention demographic variables WC BW BP fasting plasma glucose FPG and serum lipids were measured as pre test data The WC BW BP FPG and serum lipids were measured again 12 weeks later Patients in the intervention group were requested to record their WC BW BP type and amount of diet and exercise in a weekly web based diary through the Internet or by cellular phone The researchers sent weekly recommendations on diet and exercise as an intervention to each patient by both cellular phone and Internet The intervention was applied for 12 weeks RESULTS WC and BW significantly decreased by 3 0 cm and 2 0 kg respectively at 12 weeks compared with the baseline in the intervention group However the mean changes in the control group significantly increased by 0 9 cm and 0 7 kg Systolic BP SBP and diastolic BP DBP significantly decreased by 6 5 and 4 6 mmHg in the intervention group respectively The mean changes in the control group were not significant in either SBP or DBP A significant mean decrease in total cholesterol TC was observed for the intervention group by 12 9 mg dl while the control group showed a significant mean increase by 1 5mg dl Low density lipoprotein cholesterol LDL C for the intervention group showed a significant mean decrease 11 3mg dl The mean change in the control group was however not significant CONCLUSION Web based individual intervention using both SMS and Internet improved WC BW BP TC and LDL C during 12 weeks in post menopausal women with abdominal obesity
