Survey of International Centers that Incorporate Lifestyle Medicine
Original language description
In this survey of international lifestyle medicine centers, data are presented about the effectiveness of lifestyle management in different ethnocultural environments. Queries are focus on transcultural adaptation and different implementation modalities with the intent to learn and enrich the knowledge base for the planning of future centers. Specifically, this includes planning strategies; development tactics; building design and program structure and evidence-based, clinical, and administrative protocols; and interpretation of clinical trial results. Unfortunately, this comprehensive review exposes a shortage of data with most centers conveying only basic information on their websites about the services they offer. There is a paucity of information regarding implementation tactics. Nevertheless, a tabulation of transcultural adaptations and published outcomes is provided to serve as a starting point for further analysis. Information from freestanding centers or clinical service lines in sponsoring institutions in Qatar, Australia, Sri Lanka, Canada, United Kingdom, Singapore, Nigeria, and Ghana are examined. Additionally, other centers that are embedded in the public health system - in Sri Lanka, Rwanda, and Iran - are also detailed. The expansion of scientific organizations in lifestyle medicine worldwide is discussed, providing a platform for education and public advocacy. In conclusion, data from international outcome-oriented lifestyle medicine centers with transcultural components, integrated into the chronic disease model, are urgently needed in the lifestyle medicine literature. This is hoped to not just replicate but also model and engineer optimal planning, building, and operation of a larger, critical mass of international lifestyle medicine centers. Ultimately, this can usher in a new culture of global medicine that mitigates pervasive chronic disease risks and even reverses trends in chronic disease burdens.
