| PICO | Description |
|---|---|
| Population | Individuals at high risk for cardiovascular disease. |
| Intervention | A family-based structured lifestyle modification intervention program targeting cardiovascular risk reduction. |
| Comparison | Usual care provided to individuals with high risk of cardiovascular disease. |
| Outcome | The intervention significantly improved quality of life and was cost-effective at a threshold of three times gross domestic product per capita. No major adverse effects were reported. The intervention is projected to be relatively more cost-effective when implemented at a larger scale and over longer time periods, suggesting substantial public health impact. |
