The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a community‐based health promotion program targeting people with hypertension and high cholesterol.

The questionnaires used for data collection consisted of an assessment of self‐efficacy, self‐care activities, health outcomes, and physical fitness. Several teaching resources were used, including a DVD, a self‐care booklet, group support (exercise and counseling sessions), and telephone follow up. A significant decrease in waist circumference (t = 2.20, P = 0.03) and high density lipoprotein‐cholesterol level (t = 4.71, P
