”Lifestyle factor”
• Diet and physical activity are always interrelated
• They cannot be separated
• They form the “lifestyle factor”
• Other factors, e.g. sedentary behaviour, sleep and rest…?
Lifestyle
• Lifestyle factors have become more important reasons for becoming ill and drivers for the costs caused by diseases (e.g. obesity, high blood pressure, type II DM)
• Already about 39% of 45-year-old Finns have diabetes or prediabetes (men > women)
• Own responsibility?
Healthy diets and regular, adequate physical activity are major factors in the promotion and maintenance of good health throughout the entire life course
• Physical inactivity is estimated to cause, globally, about 10-16% of cases each of breast cancer, colon and rectal cancers and diabetes mellitus, and about 22% of ischaemic heart disease
• Overall, 1.9 million deaths are attributable to physical inactivity
Physical activity and health (WHO)
Physical activity is effective!
• AHA/ASA Guideline 2001 : Physical inactivity ”less-well documented risk factor”
• AHA/ASA Guideline 2006 : Physical inactivity ”well-documented risk factor”
– Physical inactivity 30 % • high BP 20 – 40 %• smoking 12 – 18 %• high cholesterol 15 %• obesity 12 – 20%• high alcohol 32 %)

A Society Aspect: the Cost of Disease
•Individual•Health care
•Other, e.g. social services•Indirect expenses, so called
productivity costs
Cost of Health Care
• Increases more than the Gross Domestic product (GDP)– Primarily due to the increased costs for
improved and more complex diagnostic methods and treatments
– Secondarily due to aging

Indirect costs / loss of productivityDirect treatment costs
Costs for ”Lifestyle Diseases”
• Difficult to estimate• The magnitude for some major risks
(FIN)– Obesity 190 million €– Physical Inactivity 200-250
million €– Smoking 246 million €– Alcohol 123-226 million €– Accidents 207-240 million €
Prevention vs. treatment
• If lifestyle for all would be the same as for the highly educated, incidence of ”lifestyle diseases” would be reduced by 20-40%
• Thought generally to be cost-efficient -> start with activities that result in most significant changes with less effort/cost
• A new way to reduce the increasing costs?

Example Calculation
• NZL Exercise on Prescription programme implementation in FIN– Screening €0,96/pers * 51.000 €49.000 – Intervention €76/pers * 11.780 €895.000– Costs/year in total €944.000– Cost/adequately exercising €800– Cost / Quality adjusted life year(QALY) €1780Savings in health care costs are 4-5x higher than
the investment
Hujanen 2002
Is it worth it?
• Change in prevalence: -1.2%• Cost: approx. 1 million €• Savings: approx. 4-5 million €• Impact on budget?• Included are not
– Indirect productivity benefits– Private costs
Scientific evidence
• Few high-quality randomised clinical trials on effect and cost-efficiency
• A lot of scientific knowledge of effects• We just need to put all that in practice• Maybe also other aspects involved, e.g.
sedentary behaviour (may provide new tools & ways to tackle / promote)
• SO, WHAT DO WE NEED THEN?
Time for New / Combined Approaches?
1. Methodological approach
Example: Exercise on prescription
• ”green prescription”, New Zeeland, UK
• Finnish project • FYSS, Swedish project
• a tool helping doctors to activate people to become physically more active
• information occurs simultaneously when filling up the prescription
• 5 segments:1) exercise habits (enough or not)2) goals for PA 3) new ”dose” for PA (what kind, how many
times, how often, what intensity)4) extra advice5) process follow-up, further actions
Exercise on prescription
Experience…• Hundreds of "exercise on prescription" schemes exist in
general practices in Britain. • In a RCT the most effective intervention for promoting
increased physical activity was intensive motivational interviewing plus a financial incentive.
• A brief intervention was largely ineffective. Short term increases in physical activity were not maintained, regardless of the intensity of intervention. The health benefits of physical activity depend on sustained participation in an active lifestyle.
• These results question the effectiveness of brief interventions to promote physical activity used by many current UK schemes.
Harland, J. et al. BMJ 1999;319:828-832
LATER IN BMJ: "Exercise on prescription is a waste of scarce resources”
On the other hand…
• The Green Prescription program performs well, representing a good buy relative to other published cost effectiveness estimates. Policy makers should consider encouraging general practitioners to prescribe physical activity advice in the primary care setting, in association with support from exercise specialists.

of physical activity counselling in general practice Aust N Z J Public Health. 2006; 30:57-

2. Psychological approach
The states of change• There is some evidence that the effectiveness of
counseling may be improved by using behavioral theories as a basis for counseling methods. One of the most applied behavioral theories in PA counseling is the transtheoretical model, generally known as “the stages of change” model, which was originally developed by Prochaska and DiClemente

3. Equipment approach
• Pedometers, heart-rate monitors, diaries, handhelds, mobiles etc.
• Conclusions The results suggest that the use of a pedometer is associated with significant increases in physical activity and significant decreases in body mass index and blood pressure. Whether these changes are durable over the long term is undetermined.

Fit for Life
•Started in 1995•The aim is to encourage the population aged between 40 to 60 to exercise•Support to >600 local projects•2nd 5-year period 2000-2004•The project will extended to include pensioners
4. Local ideas
Aims:• to activate and help
population aged 40-60 to start active way of life
• to create permanent easily accessible exercise services near people
• to give information about positive effects of exercise

• Marketing– for physical activity
• The competitors are: TV, computer, screentime, sofa, car– why don’t we use the same methods
