How We Work With Evidence

VLMA is committed to evidence-based, clinically responsible and transparent professional communication.

Our knowledge resources draw primarily on peer-reviewed research, recognized clinical and public health guidance, professional standards and relevant authoritative sources. We aim to distinguish scientific evidence from interpretation or professional perspective, consider the relevance and limitations of evidence in the Vietnamese context, and update important resources as the evidence evolves.

Where appropriate, VLMA may seek review or input from professionals with relevant subject-matter expertise. Material conflicts of interest are disclosed when applicable, and commercial relationships do not determine the scientific conclusions of VLMA knowledge resources.

From Global Evidence to the Vietnamese Context

Lifestyle Medicine is a global and evolving field, but evidence does not exist outside context.

Healthcare systems, culture, food environments, working conditions, social determinants of health, available resources and patterns of disease can all influence how evidence is understood and implemented.

A central purpose of this Knowledge & Evidence hub is therefore to help connect international evidence and developments in Lifestyle Medicine with questions that are relevant to healthcare professionals and organizations in Viet Nam.
