Corazones Unidos Study for Cardiovascular Health in Mexican-Origin Adults with MASLD

This study, called the Corazones Unidos Study, is looking at a program called "Your Heart, Your Health." This program uses trained community health workers (CHWs) to teach Mexican-origin adults with Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) about heart-healthy behaviors, heart attack symptoms, and healthy eating. The goal is to see if this program can help increase awareness of heart disease risks and encourage lifestyle changes. Heart disease is a major health concern for Mexican-origin adults, especially those with MASLD. The study aims to enroll 45 participants and will measure changes in cardiovascular health at the start, after 12 weeks, and after 24 weeks.

Study design: This interventional study plans to enroll 45 participants. It is designed to examine the acceptability and feasibility of a community health worker-led intervention.
What's involved: Participants will take part in educational sessions led by trained community health workers. Cardiovascular health will be measured at the start, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks.
Compensation: Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up: Participants will be followed for 24 weeks, with measurements taken at baseline, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks.

What this trial measures

Cardiovascular HealthBaseline, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks
A composite score modeled after the American Heart Association Life's Essential Eight will be computed. Independent scores for diet, physical activity, nicotine exposure, sleep health, body mass index, blood lipids, blood glucose, and blood pressure will be calculated and then transformed into a graded score ranging from 0 (worst) to 100 (best).
