> 20-29, etc,) then put them through a health promotion exercise,  remeasure
> their vitals and lifestyle, time period 3 months. Changes are not confined
> to loosing weight or the ability to run the marathon, but eat veggies
> more, actually walk etc etc.  I have the SF 36 and 12, but really I'm

> exercising, playing, resting, etc.  This is not for a statistical
> analysis, just an instrument that enables the health/lifestyle of people
> to be measured then remeasured so the nurse can gain some insights into
> interventions that can be implemented at a community level to improve
> health and health related lifestyle.

> Got any instruments or places where I can start looking?
