Dr Garry Egger (Professor; Lifestyle Medicine and Applied Health Promotion, Southern Cross University, Australia)
Motivation – the key to compliance. But how do we do it?
The whole basis of Lifestyle Medicine hinges on a knowledge of how to motivate the patient. But real tips on how to do this (with the exception of some ideas of 'motivational interviewing') are hard to come by. This session looks at a number of simple tips, based on bio-behavioural research, that can help the practitioner improve his or her chances of ensuring compliance to lifestyle change by a (sometimes recalcitrant) patient.

Professor David Colquhoun (Consultant Cardiologist; University of Queensland)
Lifestyle and heart disease
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the major chronic disease in Australia and in all advanced economies and increasingly so in the Third World. The Harvard studies have convincingly shown five lifestyle factors that explain 60-80% of incident CHD. These lifestyle factors work to a large extent via classic Framingham Risk Factors. Psychosocial factors are also very important. The Harvard and other studies demonstrate that modification of lifestyle can prevent first and recurrent CHD events.
