Interventions/Control_1

Participants eligible for Specific Health Guidance will receive health guidance using an ICT-based lifestyle improvement support system that combines a LINE official account, a record form using the Shimane electronic application service, and e-learning materials.
After enrollment, healthcare providers will explain the participants' health examination results, identify lifestyle-related issues, and set behavioral goals in accordance with the usual process of Specific Health Guidance. Participants will then register the LINE official account and begin continuous support.
The intervention period will be approximately 3 months. During this period, participants will enter information on their lifestyle practices, body weight, and achievement of behavioral goals into the record form as needed. Based on these records, health examination results, behavioral goals, and consultations, healthcare providers will provide lifestyle-related advice, encouragement, goal review, consultation, and information on relevant e-learning materials through LINE chat. The frequency of support will be individualized according to participants' needs and will not be fixed.
