Objective: To examine the effectiveness of a general health promotion intervention based on self-determination theory in proactively helping emergency department (ED) attendees to adopt healthy lifestyles. Hypothesis to be tested: A general health promotion intervention based on self-determination theory will be effective in helping people adopt healthy lifestyles. Design and subjects: The investigators will conduct a randomised controlled trial involving 1,172 ED attendees from five major acute care hospitals in Hong Kong. Instruments: A behavioural risk factor questionnaire will be used to identify participants' health risk behaviours and document their blood pressure and body mass index. The EuroQoL 5-Dimension 5-level will be used to assess participants' quality of life. Interventions: Participants in the intervention group will receive a brief health warning and advice on health-risk behaviours. In addition, participants will be asked about their priority in engaging in healthy lifestyles. Moreover, participants will receive WhatsApp/WeChat messages during the first 6 months as a reminder to adhere to their desired healthy lifestyle and a link to a 1-minute video relevant to their selected healthy lifestyle. Participants in the control group will receive brief advice on adopting healthy lifestyles through regular text messages. Main outcome measures: The number of healthy lifestyles adopted at 6 months. Data analysis and expected results: SPSS for Windows will be used for quantitative data analysis. A significantly higher proportion of participants in the intervention group will adopt healthy lifestyles and exhibit better quality of life than those in the control group at 6 and 12 months.

Physical activity (PA) and sedentary lifestyle are determinants in the development of chronic diseases and associated quality of life alterations. PA levels are correlated with quality of life and morbidity in chronic lung disease (COPD), cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, chronic inflammatory rheumatism, fibromyalgia and anxiety disorders. In these diseases, low-intensity PA often represents the main PA and the quantity of PA is correlated with health parameters. This study aims to identify a typical profile (signature) in relation to the appearance of other chronic diseases, complications of your disease, from recording your physical activity and sedentary lifestyle by sensors evaluating very precisely the movements and taking into account the characteristics and disability related to your disease. The results of this study would therefore make it possible to identify this signature even before the appearance of complications or other diseases.

This study aims to control risk factors of non communicable diseases by life style and care intervention based on internet technology, looking forward to improve cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications, diabetes and all-cause death.
