Objective Health education was provided among driving coaches with overweight or obesity to improve their self-healthcare awareness.Methods Of 116 driving coaches from Changping District who underwent physical examinations and biochemical tests, 79 were confirmed to have overweight or obesity and received body weight management.Results Following 3 years of health management, 79 overweight or obese participants showed significant improvement in waist circumference ((93.5±8.4) vs (92.0±9.5) cm), systolic blood pressure ((130.8±12.4) vs (127.8±11.6) mm Hg, 1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa), diastolic blood pressure ((87.0±9.7) vs (85.6±9.3) mm Hg), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ((1.1±0.4) vs (1.2±0.3) mmol/L), and glucose ((5.6±1.5) vs (5.4±1.6) mmol/L) (all P<0.05). Awareness of obesity-related knowledge showed significant difference before and after the intervention (P<0.05), although no changes of chronic diseases and abnormal measurements were found (P>0.05).Conclusion Overweight and obesity in middle-aged adults is of concern and needs long-term effective interventions.
