AB  - OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the community-based 
      cardiac rehabilitation (CBCR) program that we had developed. METHODS: Individuals 
      aged >40 years with cardiovascular disease or its risk factors who were residing 
      in a rural area were recruited as study subjects. The CBCR program, which 
      consisted of 10 education sessions and 20 weeks of customized exercises (twice a 
      week), was conducted in a public health center for 22 weeks. Comprehensive 
      outcomes including body weight, blood glucose level, and 6-minute walk distance 
      (6MWD) were measured at baseline, 11th week, and completion. Furthermore, the 
      outcomes of young-old (65-74 years) and old-old (>/=75 years) female subjects were 
      compared. RESULTS: Of 31 subjects, 21 completed the program (completion rate, 
      67.7%). No adverse events were observed, and none of the subjects discontinued 
      the exercise program because of chest pain, dyspnea, and increased blood 
      pressure. Body weight and blood glucose level were significantly decreased, and 
      6MWD was significantly increased following program implementation (p<0.05). Both 
      young-old and old-old women exhibited an improvement in blood glucose level and 
      6MWD test (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: We reported the results of the first attempted 
      CBCR in South Korea that was implemented without adverse events during the entire 
      program. Improved aerobic exercise ability and reduced risk factors in all 
      participants were observed. These improvements were also achieved by older adults 
      aged >/=75 years.
