Interventions
health dialogue
The visual health assessment formulary is based on detailed questions about food, physical activity, heredity, smoking, alcohol, stress and mental illness and measurements such as BMI, blood pressure and blood fats. Patients fill in a web-based questionnaire resulting in a visual colorful scale showing a risk assessment (Figure 1). The Health Dialogue is a prognostic tool that provides an estimate of the increase in risk with current lifestyle habits. The use has shown improvement of lifestyle habits such as smoking cessation, lower intake of fat and higher physical activity level as well as reduced mortality in a long-term follow-up.
