Abstract：
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for 71% of all annual deaths, totaling 41 million people worldwide. The development and progression of these diseases are highly related to the environment and lifestyle choices, among which physical inactivity and excess malnutrition stand out. Currently, in Chile, there is no evidence at the regional and local level on the impact of physical activity and healthy nutrition plans and interventions on health promotion, prevention, and timely treatment of NCDs. The following protocol delineates the URO/FOCOS (Universidad Regional de O\'Higgins/FOrtaleciendo COmunidades Saludables- Regional University of O\'Higgins/Strengthening Healthy Communities) study, which will assess pilot community intervention strategies using a participatory action research approach by identifying barriers and facilitators on the practice of physical activity and healthy eating habits. In this project, the community from the O\'Higgins region will be involved throughout the entire research process to develop strategies that promote regular physical activity and healthy eating practices. We propose three interrelated strategies: (1) Participatory Action Research, (2) Community interventions for promoting physical activity and healthy nutrition practices, and (3) health education. The URO/FOCOS study offers a unique opportunity in the O\'Higgins region to develop participatory strategies and interventions based on the community\'s needs and motivations with regard to physical activity and healthy eating habits. We believe these strategies will help to improve the community\'s overall health through effective changes in their decision and preferences toward a more active lifestyle and healthier nutrition practices.
摘要：
非传染性疾病（NCDs）占所有年度死亡人数的71％。全世界共有4100万人。这些疾病的发展和进展与环境和生活方式的选择高度相关，其中缺乏体力活动和过度营养不良突出。目前,在智利,在区域和地方一级，没有证据表明身体活动和健康营养计划和干预措施对健康促进的影响，预防,及时治疗非传染性疾病。以下协议描述了URO/FOCOS（奥希金斯地区大学/福尔塔西多大学-奥希金斯地区大学/加强健康社区）研究，它将使用参与行动研究方法，通过确定身体活动和健康饮食习惯的障碍和促进因素，评估试点社区干预策略。在这个项目中,来自O\'Higgins地区的社区将参与整个研究过程，以制定促进定期体育锻炼和健康饮食习惯的策略。我们提出了三种相互关联的策略：(1)参与式行动研究，（2）促进身体活动和健康营养习惯的社区干预措施，（3）健康教育。URO/FOCOS研究为O'Higgins地区提供了一个独特的机会，可以根据社区在体育锻炼和健康饮食习惯方面的需求和动机制定参与性策略和干预措施。我们相信这些策略将有助于改善社区的整体健康，通过有效改变他们的决定和偏好，朝着更积极的生活方式和更健康的营养做法。
