ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how effective health coaching can be in helping women make healthier lifestyle choices, particularly in reducing sedentary behavior and improving nutrition. Women aged 65 to 74 who are fluent in Hebrew are invited to participate. To join, they need to be over 18, agree to fill out some questionnaires, and commit to attending at least 80% of the sessions. However, women who are pregnant, have certain medical conditions, or are currently involved in other treatment programs won't be able to participate.

Participants can expect to take part in both group workshops and individual meetings where they will learn about healthy eating guidelines, ways to be more active, and tools to boost their confidence in making these changes. This program aims to support women in creating a healthier lifestyle in a supportive environment. If you or someone you know fits the eligibility criteria and is interested in taking steps towards better health, this could be a great opportunity!
