Summary

This study tests a community program called CAN-DO that helps older adults reduce their risk of heart disease. Participants, aged 60 and older, attend weekly group sessions on nutrition and managing chronic conditions. The goal is to see if the program is practical and liked by seniors, and whether it improves diet, blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.
