American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine Articles

Member Benefit

ACLM and the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine (AJLM) are pleased to offer CME/CE for one (1) journal article in each of the six (6) bi-monthly AJLM issues starting in 2022. Articles will also offer ABLM MOC for those certified in lifestyle medicine. ACLM members can earn FREE CME/CE credit by reading the CME/CE article and successfully completing the online CME/CE activity. Available to non-members for $40 per article, this is a great way to access lifestyle medicine learning.

PLEASE NOTE: While these opportunities provide CME/CE and MOC to fulfill the 5 year maintenance of certification 30 hour MOC requirement for the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine, this offering is separate from and does not replace the required 3 annual articles and assessments on the LMMOC platform.

Making Continuing Education Accessible

Clinicians seek learning opportunities that are effortless, informative, and based in current, relevant research. ACLM continues to strive for excellence in providing articles as a way to meet clinicians where they are.

October  | The Significance of Physical Activity Education: A Survey of Medical Students

  • Less than 20% of US adults meet physical activity (PA) recommendations, yet few physicians provide consistent PA counseling. There is limited research on the state of education of PA counseling in medical school curricula. The purpose of this study was to analyze medical students’ perspectives on the current state and perceived quality of PA education in medical school.  MORE DETAILS

September  |  Impact of Lifestyle Medicine Interventions on the Management of Systemic Hypertension in Primary Care: A Canadian Randomized Controlled Trial

  • The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of implementing lifestyle interventions in primary care settings with hypertensive patients and their effect on blood pressure, body composition, cardiometabolic markers, and antihypertensive drug use. Sixty participants diagnosed with stage 1 hypertension were randomly assigned to 4 groups: (1) Standard medical care (control), (2) Physical activity protocol, (3) Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, and (4) Combination of physical activity protocol and DASH diet. Participants received counseling from family physicians, nurses, kinesiologists, and registered dietitians. Various assessments were conducted before (T0) and after (T6) the interventions, including 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, blood and urine tests, anthropometric measurements, computed tomography to measure adipose tissue, submaximal exercise test to estimate maximal oxygen consumption and health questionnaires. Fifty-one (51) participants (51/57, 89%) completed the program. All interventions reduced blood pressure indices between T0 and T6, except the combined interventions group. Body composition and cardiometabolic parameters were improved in all groups, except for the control group. In total, 28% of participants (7/23) reduced or stopped their antihypertensive medications at T6. The results suggest that structured lifestyle interventions are feasible in primary care and improve blood pressure and cardiometabolic parameters in patients with stage 1 hypertension. MORE DETAILS
