About this study
We evaluated the effectiveness of a combination of a comprehensive health assessment consisting of the combination of a screening full body scan employing graphic patient education and motivational techniques followed by intensive, individualized behavioral training and management program on improved adherence to beneficial lifestyle behaviors, as well as possibly reduced risk of disease.
Read the detailed description
We initially enrolled 267 volunteer asymptomatic adults consisting of firefighters/police workers (n= 173), active military personnel (n= 57) and community college staff (n= 37). Subjects were randomized either to an intervention group or to usual care. The intervention group received The RENEW™ Program (www.therenewprogram.net) of lifestyle intervention as described below. A whole body CT scan was performed using a multidetector CT scan on all participants at baseline with the results discussed by a physician only in the intervention group, and after 2 years of follow-up a repeat scan was performed with a detailed evaluation of the results discussed by a physician with all participants (in part as a motivation to complete thestudy). This study was carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the Western Institutional Review Board with written informed consent from all subjects. All subjects gavewritten informed consent in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. The protocol wasapproved by the Western Institutional Review Board.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Physician Body Scan Consultation with Behavioral InterventionBehavioural
The RENEW™ program consisted of 7 bi-monthly face-to-face web sessions over 16-18 weeks followed by an average of 15 monthly check-in sessions (maintenance) over 80 weeks.This included modules on responding to stress, enhancing effects of relaxation, nourishing theimmune system, physical activity, and social support.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Behavioral Intervention arm | Active comparator | A behavioral intervention consisting of a physician body scan consultation with a radiologist which included viewing self imagery followed by an 18 month behavioral intervention which included educational modules covering:
Responding to Stress More Effectively Enhancing the effects of Relaxation Nourishing your immune system Energizing your Body Welcoming Others and Strengthening Relationships Receives: Behavioral: Physician Body Scan Consultation with Behavioral Intervention |
| Control Group | Active comparator | No Intervention Receives: Behavioral: Physician Body Scan Consultation with Behavioral Intervention |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Progression of Coronary Artery Calcium
Coronary artery calcium (CAC) was assessed by a trained technologist with the Agatston score measured and volume score calculated, summed among the four major coronary arteries using conventional methods.
Measured: 2 years
Secondary outcomes (1)
Epicardial and Thoracic fat volume (in cm3)
The QFAT™ software was utilized to provide measures of epicardial and thoracic fat volume (in cm3) as described previously (20) in a subset of participants who had the required Dicom-archived CT scan data both pre and post intervention
Measured: 2 years
