About

In a pilot study 90 physically inactive patients will be randomized to three different intervention groups; mindfulness training, mindfulness training and Physical Activity on Prescription (PAP) or only PAP Follow-up will be done at baseline, three and six months with questionnaires, accelerometers and analysis of traditional risk factors to evaluate whether mindfulness may increase physical activity and decrease physical inactivity.

Full description

All patients between 40 and 65 years of age who fulfills the inclusion criteria will be asked to participate in the study. Posters with information about the study will be put in the waiting room and on other strategic places. Patients who accept to participate will get both written and orally information, after the information they will sign a informed consent. The patients will estimate their level of physical activity in minutes per week to control inclusion criteria. The patients will return a morning for fasting blood samples and get an accelerometer attached to them to wear during 7 days. During this time randomization will be preformed. They will also get to answer a couple of different surveys. The results from the surveys and blood samples will be the study baseline.

All patients with abnormal test results will follow specific flow diagram for the usual care.
