To determine if scientifically based social network (Facebook) lifestyle interventions reduce 10-year cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk.
Financial sector employees (n = 300) were equally randomly assigned: Facebook plus Health Professionals (FB+HP), Facebook (FB), or control (C). We report changes in 10-year Framingham risk score (FRS) for CVD (%) and risk factors over 12 months.
FRS did not change within and between groups. Overweight (-7.4% vs -5.6%, P = 0.005) and diabetes risk (-10.7% vs 0.2%, P = 0.011) reduced significantly in FB+HP versus FB and C, respectively. Inadequate fruit/vegetable intake (-9.4% vs 3.6%, P = 0.011) and smoking (-0.7% vs 14.9%) reduced significantly in FB versus C. No significant changes in physical activity, central obesity, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia between groups.
Scientifically based social network lifestyle intervention programs could be included in workplace health promotional programmes to improve certain non-communicable disease risk factors.
确定基于科学的社交网络（脸书）生活方式干预措施是否能降低10年心血管疾病（CVD）风险。
金融部门员工（n = 300）被随机平均分配至：脸书加健康专家组（FB+HP）、脸书组（FB）或对照组（C）。我们报告了12个月内CVD的10年弗明汉风险评分（FRS）（%）及风险因素的变化情况。
组内和组间FRS均未改变。与FB组和C组相比，FB+HP组的超重情况（-7.4%对-5.6%，P = 0.005）和糖尿病风险（-10.7%对0.2%，P = 0.011）分别显著降低。与C组相比，FB组的水果/蔬菜摄入不足情况（-9.4%对3.6%，P = 0.011）和吸烟情况（-0.7%对14.9%）显著降低。各组间的身体活动、中心性肥胖、高血压和高胆固醇血症无显著变化。
基于科学的社交网络生活方式干预项目可纳入职场健康促进项目，以改善某些非传染性疾病风险因素。
