The purpose of this study is to evaluate the preliminary effect of a health-information literacy promotion program for individuals with Metabolic Syndrome (including its subtypes) based on the Health Empowerment Theory. The study aims to answer the following questions:
Does the intervention improve health information literacy among study participants? Does the intervention lead to better health outcomes, including weight, waist circumference, BMI control, and metabolic health indicators (blood pressure, blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and blood lipids)?
Participants will:
Undergo the intervention program for 6 weeks (face to face and online) and will be assessed regularly to monitor changes in their health information literacy and health outcomes.

| Health Information Literacy Enhancement Group | Experimental | A 6-week intervention programme was implemented for the health information literacy enhancement group, once a week, with each intervention lasting 30-40min, to enable the study participants to actively practice healthy behaviours through intervention techniques such as health awareness awakening, social resource building, and health-related skill empowerment, in order to enhance the health information literacy of the study participants, and ultimately to enable the study participants to perceive health in a programmatic manner. |

| Health Information Literacy | Health information literacy (HIL) is essential to assist individuals in health decision-making. In this study, health information literacy will be measured using the Health Information Literacy Self-rating Scale.A 5-point Likert scale was used, with scores ranging from 1-5 for 'strongly disagree' to 'strongly agree', and a total scale score ranging from 29-145, with higher scores indicating higher levels of health information literacy. In the original study, the Cronbach's α coefficient for HILSS was 0.847, and the Cronbach's α coefficients for the dimensions. | Measurements will be taken once before the formal intervention and once after the intervention ends (at 6 weeks). |

| Health Literacy | Health literacy refers to an individual's ability to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services, and to make appropriate health decisions. Compared with health information literacy, the concept and scope of health literacy are more general and broader. In this study, the Newest Vital Sign scale will be used to assess individuals' overall health literacy levels.The measure has six questions assessing a person's reading, numeracy, and comprehension based on an ice cream nutritional label.1 point for each correct answer, 6 questions in total, total score 0-6 points, the higher the score the higher the health literacy. The internal consistency (Cronbach's α) was 0.76. |

| Measurements will be taken once before the formal intervention and once after the intervention ends (at 6 weeks). |
| Chronic Patient Self-Management Questionnaire | The Self-Management Questionnaire for Chronic Patients used to assess the self-management level of patients with chronic diseases. The scale includes five aspects: dietary habits, exercise management, medication adherence, emotional management, and family and social support, and adopts the Likert 5-point rating method. The questionnaire consists of 20 multiple choice questions with a total score of 100 points. The scoring criteria are: between 20 and 60 points is a poor level of self-management; between 60 and 80 points is a medium level of management; between 80 and 100 points is a high level of self-management. The Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale is 0.957. | Measurements will be taken once before the formal intervention and once after the intervention ends (at 6 weeks) |
| Health Problem-Solving | The Chinese version of the Health Problem-Solving Scale consists of 6 dimensions: rational/effective problem-solving, positive positive transfer problem-solving, avoidance problem-solving, impulsive/careless problem-solving, negative transfer/learning, and negative motivation/attitude. It includes 30 items. The Likert 5-point scoring method was used, with the lowest score being 0 and the highest score being 4. The higher the score, the better the health problem solving ability. The content validity index of the scale is 0.970, the content validity index of the items ranges from 0.830 to 1.000, the Cronbach's α coefficient is 0.911, and the Cronbach's α coefficients of each dimension range from 0.715 to 0.839. | Measurements will be taken once before the formal intervention and once after the intervention ends (at 6 weeks) |
| Chronic Illness Resources | The Chronic Illness Resource Survey (CIRS) consists of 19 items measuring six aspects of social resources: individuals, family and friends, healthcare team, community, media policy and community organisations. The scale is scored on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 to 5. Higher scores indicate greater access to or use of resources. The scale had good reliability in the original study, with a Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.820, and an overall Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.845 in the Chinese population. | Measurements will be taken once before the formal intervention and once after the intervention ends (at 6 weeks) |
| Health-related Quality of Life | A health-related quality of life scale, the EQ-5D-5L, developed by the EuroQol Group, will be used to measure individuals' quality of life. It comprises the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ-5D Visual Analog Scale (EQ VAS). The five dimensions assess participants' mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression, with each dimension having five levels: no difficulties, slight difficulties, moderate difficulties, severe difficulties, and extreme difficulties/unable to perform. the UI scores ranged from -0.391 to 1.The EQ VAS records a participant's self-assessed health status on a vertical visual analogue scale labelled 'Your best imagined health (100 points)' and 'Your worst imagined health (0 points)'. The EQ VAS provides a quantitative description of the respondent's perception of their overall health. Higher scores indicate higher quality of life. EQ-5D-5L has been validated by Chinese scholars with a Cronbach coefficient of 0.624. | Measurements will be taken once before the formal intervention and once after the intervention ends (at 6 weeks) |
| Nutrition Literacy | The Food and Nutrition Literacy Questionnaire, developed by the School of Public Health at Peking University, will be used for assessment. The current status of nutrition literacy includes four dimensions: knowledge and concepts related to food, selecting food, preparing food, and consuming food. The questionnaire has a score of 100 points, and the critical value of this questionnaire is 80 points, and a score of 80 points or more represents nutritional literacy, and the proportion of patients with nutritional literacy is the level of nutritional literacy. The Cronbach'sａcoefficient of the scale is 0.893, and the content validity is 0.891, which is considered to be good. | Measurements will be taken once before the formal intervention and once after the intervention ends (at 6 weeks) |
