Article Synopsis
- Lifestyle change programs (LCPs) are effective for promoting healthy lifestyles and preventing disease, but women's enrollment in these programs is low due to various barriers.
- A survey conducted with 1,606 women aged 40-74 revealed limited knowledge about LCP benefits and a low-to-moderate interest in participation, influenced by factors like physical activity levels, BMI, and perceived barriers such as cost and time.
- The study highlights the need to improve women's understanding of LCPs and address specific barriers to boost enrollment and retention in these programs.
