  To study the effect of applying a "Stage of Behaviors Change (SOC)" model in nutrition intervention and health education, in order to promote health awareness and action in farmers.
  
  
  METHODS
  People aged 18-65 recruited from two villages of Tianjin were classified into two groups, the intervention group and the control group. All subjects were categorized into 5 stages and a one year nutrition intervention was conducted.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The rates of planning, taking an action on and keeping balanced diet increased 15%-20%, the rates of accepting, taking an action on and keeping daily physical activity increased 10%-20%, and the awareness on nutrition knowledge increased 30% after intervention in the intervention group. BMI, blood pressure, serum total cholesterol, homocysteine, folic acid, urine potassium and sodium in the intervention group was significantly different before and after intervention and between two groups.
