Rationale: By the year 2050, the number of older adults in the US will more than double. Because older adults are more likely to develop chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease and arthritis, society is facing a healthcare crisis if effective ways to prevent such diseases is not found. This is especially urgent for Latinos because they are the nation's fastest growing ethnic group and they are in many cases at greater risk for chronic disease. Objectives: ln this proposed pilot project, the goal is to understand if a lifestyle intervention - iVivir Mi Vida! (iVMV!) - is feasible, acceptable, and shows preliminary promise in helping late middle-aged Latinos experience better health. The investigators will accomplish this goal by pilot testing the implementation of iVMV! in collaboration with community health service partners in Antelope Valley. Methods: ln this study, 40 patients, aged 50-65 years who are enrolled in Antelope Valley health centers will receive the iVMV! lifestyle-based health program. This program lasts four months and will be delivered by promotores (respected lay heath workers from the Latino community). Intervening promotores will be supervised by an occupational therapist and a senior promotora. Within the program, patients will participate in small group sessions at their local community healthcare facilities and will also receive numerous visits from the promotores in their homes. The program will involve weekly sessions in which the participants will be taught how to practice healthy lifestyle choices, such as exercising, eating healthy food, and reducing stress. Initially and at the end of the four-month program, the investigators will measure health outcomes such as self-rated quality of life, diet and exercise, cholesterol and glucose levels, blood pressure, and weight. The investigators will also ask participants, promotores, and other research staff about their overall experiences during the study so that the investigators can improve our program for the future. Mixed-methods procedures will be used to analyze qualitative data (e.g., interview transcripts) and quantitative data (e.g., pre-post intervention health outcomes and 12-month follow-up). Anticipated lmpact: The study will provide critical information about the feasibility and acceptability and preliminary data on the health impact of the iVMV! intervention on late middle-aged Latino adults who are at risk for disease. Information collected from this study will inform the design of a larger-scale implementation study.

Time frame: 4 months
Comprised of an overall profile score and four symptom/well-being subscales. Individuals identified one to two currently bothersome symptoms. They rated each symptom's severity and how much it interfered with daily activities. They also rated their overall well-being.
MYMOP Profile Scores can be calculated as a mean of the ratings. These have values between 0 and 6; the higher the score, the worse the outcome. A decrease in scores is considered improvement.

Global sleep quality, sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbance, use of sleeping medications, and daytime dysfunction.
The 19 self-rated items are combined to form seven component scores, each of which has a range of 0-3 points. In all cases, a score of 0 indicates no difficulty, whereas a score of 3 indicates severe difficulty. The seven component scores are then added to yield one global score, with a range of 0-21 points, 0 indicating no difficulty and 21 indicating severe difficulties in all areas.

Vigorous activity, moderate activity, walking, and time spent sitting.
There are two forms of output from scoring the IPAQ. Results can be reported in categories (low activity levels, moderate activity levels or high activity levels) or as a continuous variable (MET minutes a week). MET minutes represent the amount of energy expended carrying out physical activity. Higher activity levels or more MET minutes per week equates to more physical activity.

Comorbidity status calculated from from electronic medical record diagnoses. 19 possible conditions as identified in Charlson 1987.
A weighted index of scores takes into account the presence vs absence of a disease and the seriousness of such disease. Conditions Scores range from 0-37 and depend on how many of the 19 possible conditions the person has and the seriousness of those conditions. Lower scores represent fewer or no comorbidities.

Pain is comprised of a severity and interference subscore. The severity subscale measures amount of pain a person has experienced at its "worst," "least," and "average" levels, as well as present pain. The interference subscale assesses how much a person's pain interferes with everyday life.

Measure of heart healthy behaviors within 3 subscales: salt intake, fat and cholesterol consumption, and weight control behaviors. A 4-point Likert scale (1=never, 4=always) is used to answer "How often have you done the following over the past month?" Responses are summed and averaged for each subscale; higher scores represent healthier habits.
