This randomized study conducted in a rural area consisted of an educational program of 9-10 months to encourage healthy habits versus the local standard health system. Participants should try to involve their relatives to change their lifestyle. The spread of healthy habits proposal led to a significant reduction in weight, waist circumference and systolic pressure of the population. However there was no significant benefit to reducing glycosylated hemoglobin or raising HDL.
