Heart Matters
Heart Matters is a lifestyle modification intervention guided by the theory of planned behavior. Designed to mitigate cardiovascular disease risk factors, the program strives to help participants consume nutritious foods, engage in a more active lifestyle, lose weight and lower their systolic or diastolic blood pressure. Lifestyle modifications can include weight loss, a reduction in percent calorie fat consumption and total sodium intake, improving diet and increasing physical activity, and reducing daily alcoholic beverage consumption.
