Evidence-based implementation of lifestyle medicine in healthcare practice: a research agenda.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, significant insights have been gathered into the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions in the treatment of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCD). To speed up the implementation of evidence-based lifestyle medicine, we developed a research agenda in collaboration with Dutch experts in treating NCD, using a hybrid Delphi approach. The research agenda focuses on four key themes: (1) promoting sustainable behavioural change at patient, healthcare professional and organisational levels; (2) optimising research designs, methodology and outcomes for the evaluation of effectiveness and implementation of lifestyle medicine modalities in healthcare practice; (3) elucidating biological mechanisms underlying successful lifestyle interventions and (4) advancing data infrastructure
