Lifestyle makeover: can diet and exercise curb cancer risk?
NCT ID NCT02513407
First seen Aug 19, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether the Eat, Move, Live (EML) program can help Latina mothers of elementary school children adopt healthier habits, such as eating more fruits and vegetables and increasing physical activity. The goal is to see if these changes can reduce markers of chronic disease risk, like blood sugar and weight. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive the EML program or standard information, and their progress will be tracked over time.
