DAiLY: Diet and Active Lifestyle for Heart Health in Yup'ik Communities
This study, called DAiLY (Diet and Active Lifestyle - Yuuyaraq), is looking at a 2-year program to help reduce the risk of heart disease in Yup'ik Alaska Native people. Heart disease is a major health concern in these communities. The program encourages eating more traditional and healthy store-bought foods, and being more physically active. It includes home-based workshops led by community members and uses social media for support. The study will measure changes in a "metabolic syndrome z score" (a measure of risk factors for heart disease) over two years to see how well the program works. You can join if you are 18 or older, self-identify as Yup'ik Alaska Native, and live in a participating Yup'ik community for the next 24 months. The current status of this study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 368 participants. It focuses on a behavioral intervention called DAiLY.
- What's involved
- The intervention lasts for 24 months and includes home-based workshops and social media support. Your metabolic syndrome z score will be measured from enrollment to the end of the 2-year intervention.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be assessed for two years after enrollment, which is the completion of the post-intervention assessment.

What this trial measures
- Continuous metabolic syndrome z scoreFrom enrollment to the completion of post-intervention assessment (2 years)
Determine the effectiveness of the DAiLY intervention on heart disease risk by measuring: (1) change in a continuous metabolic syndrome risk score (primary outcome) in Yup\'ik adults at least 18 years old. The continuous metabolic syndrome score includes the weighted contributions of waist circumference, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein, glucose and blood pressure. The continuous metabolic syndrome score is a metabolic syndrome-severity Z score that adds predictive utility for future heart disease above and beyond the individual metabolic syndrome components.
