    \                   <jats:p>Since unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, risk factors
    for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), and diseases themselves can independently
    influence quality of life, lifestyle intervention programs addressing all of these
    may yield benefits for quality of life. This study aimed to examine the impact
    of the Healthy Lifestyle Community Program (HLCP-2) on quality of life in adults.</jats:p>\r\n

    stem from a 24-month, non-randomized controlled lifestyle program which aimed
    to improve markers of NCD risk. Overall, 187 participants were assigned to either
    the intervention group (IG;\r\n                      <jats:italic>n</jats:italic>\r\n

    on plant-based diet, physical activity, stress management, and community support,
    followed by a 22-month alumni phase, or a control group (CG;\r\n                      <jats:italic>n</jats:italic>\r\n
    \                      = 75), without intervention. Quality of life was assessed
    by the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire at six measurement time points. Problems in five
    health dimensions (“mobility”, “self-care”, “usual activities”, “pain/discomfort,”
    and “anxiety/depression”), a visual analogue scale on self-rated health (EQ VAS),
    and the German EQ-5D index were addressed.\r\n                    </jats:p>\r\n

    \                   <jats:p>At baseline, 59.8% of the IG and 59.4% of the CG reported
    problems in ≥ 1 health dimension, with improvement in the IG at all time points.
    Compared to baseline, the EQ VAS increased significantly in the IG compared to
    CG at all time points. The mean EQ-5D index tended to improve in the IG, but changes
    did not differ significantly from changes in the CG.</jats:p>\r\n                  </jats:sec>\r\n

    \                   <jats:p>A lifestyle community program addressing lifestyle
    behaviors provides benefits for participants’ self-rated health status, with the
