Cardiometabolic disease has been an increasing trend globally and remains the major cause of morbidity and mortality. Health coaching, a process of goal-oriented and client-centered partnership that is health-focus and through client enlightenment and empowerment, are generally effective for chronic disease management and prevention of complication. However, there is inconclusive result on the effects of health coaching in the primary prevention of cardiometabolic diseases. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a theory-guided health coaching programme for middle-aged adults with cardiometabolic risk.
A single group pretest-posttest feasibility study was conducted. The health coaching programme included four monthly health coaching sessions for three months. Feasibility of the study was measured by eligibility rate, enrollment rate, adherence rate, and attrition rate. Intervention acceptability was measured by satisfactory survey after completion of health coaching intervention. Feasibility of outcome measures was measured by the completion of outcome measures assessment at baseline and 6 months after enrollment.

Feasibility of outcome measures assessment
completion rate of a battery of outcome measures assessment (including (1) health promoting behaviours measures using Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II); (2) cardiometabolic risk measured using non-laboratory INTERHEART risk score and the Automatic Retinal Image Analysis (ARIA)-stroke model; (3) self-efficacy of adopting health-promoting behaviours measured using Diabetes Mellitus Type II Self Efficacy Scale; (4) psychological distress measured using the Chinese version of the shorter version of Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS); (5) sleep quality measured using the Chinese version of the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index; (6) physical activity level measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Chinese (IPAQ-C); and (7) physiological parameters, including blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), waist-hip-ratio (WHR) and point of care blood test for glucose, lipid and urate level)
