美国国立卫生研究院380万美元资助园艺心脏健康试验：五年期招募264人，宾夕法尼亚州立大学牵头
宾夕法尼亚州赫什市消息，宾夕法尼亚州立大学一个多学科研究团队获美国国立卫生研究院下属国家护理研究所五年期 380 万美元资助，评估一个远程生活方式干预项目对心血管疾病风险的作用。
项目名为 Growing Healthy Hearts，研究居家园艺、动手烹饪教育与结构化社会支持的组合，能否在有慢性心脏代谢疾病风险的成年人中促成持久的行为改变。
团队将招募 264 名至少带有一项公认心血管疾病风险因素的成年参加者，招募条件还包括蔬果摄入与日常活动量偏低、家中有孩子且有意学习园艺。前期试点中，参加者此前均无园艺经验。
该资助编号为 1R01NR022295-01，由家庭与社区医学及公共卫生科学副教授 Susan Veldheer 与 Amy Moore 共同牵头，连接临床医学、膳食科学、行为心理学与州推广服务。
NIH Awards 3.8 Million Dollars to Evaluate Gardening Program for Heart Health: Five-Year Trial to Recruit 264 Adults, Led by Penn State Team
Hershey, Pennsylvania — A multidisciplinary team of researchers from Penn State has secured a five-year, 3.8 million dollar grant from the National Institute of Nursing Research of the National Institutes of Health to evaluate a remote lifestyle intervention designed to mitigate cardiovascular disease risk.
The project, named Growing Healthy Hearts, investigates whether home-based gardening, hands-on cooking education, and structured social support can foster sustained behavioral modifications among adults vulnerable to chronic cardiometabolic conditions.
The team will recruit 264 adult participants who exhibit at least one recognized risk factor for cardiovascular disease; eligibility also includes low fruit and vegetable intake, low physical activity, having a child at home, and an interest in learning to garden. In the initial pilot of the program, enrolled participants had no prior gardening experience.
Supported under National Institute of Nursing Research award number 1R01NR022295-01, the project connects clinical medicine, dietary science, behavioral psychology, and statewide extension services, led by Susan Veldheer, associate professor of family and community medicine and of public health sciences at Penn State College of Medicine, together with co-leader Amy Moore.
