Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Group 1: STRONG Intervention
The STRONG program includes consultation with a Moffit dietician, logging intake of food daily into a food diary with a Fitbit smartphone app, and completing questionnaires.
|
Participants will have an initial consultation and then biweekly follow-up visits (in-person or virtually) with a study dietician for 12 weeks.
Participants will keep a daily diary of food intake with a Fitbit smartphone app and wearing a Fitbit for 12 weeks.
Participants will complete a questionnaire electronically at baseline and again at 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks.
|
Active Comparator: Group 2: Usual Care
Participants will be referred to dieticians based on clinical discretion.
Participants will also be asked to wear a Fitbit for 12 weeks to passively collect data on activity level.
|
Participants will have an initial consultation and then biweekly follow-up visits (in-person or virtually) with a study dietician for 12 weeks.
Participants will keep a daily diary of food intake with a Fitbit smartphone app and wearing a Fitbit for 12 weeks.
Participants will complete a questionnaire electronically at baseline and again at 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Feasibility of the STRONG Program
Time Frame: at 12 weeks
|
Feasibility of the Support through Remote Observation and Nutrition Guidance (STRONG) program will be assessed using recruitment and retention rates, along with data completion rates.
|
at 12 weeks
|
Acceptability of the STRONG Program
Time Frame: at 16 weeks
|
Acceptability of the STRONG Program measure uses 4 items to indicate participant satisfaction.
The measure uses a scale of 0-5, 0 meaning the participant completely disagrees with the statements regarding intervention satisfaction and 5 indicating complete agreement with the statements regarding intervention satisfaction.
The measure score ranges from 0-20 with 20 indicating the highest degree of satisfaction.
|
at 16 weeks
|
Participant adherence to the STRONG Program
Time Frame: Up to 90 days
|
will be defined as ≥ 60% of patients will meet with a dietician for 4/6 dietician visits and ≥ 60% of patients will track daily food intake via a Fitbit.
|
Up to 90 days
|
Malnutrition: Significant Weight Loss
Time Frame: at 16 weeks
|
Significant weight loss will be defined as a loss of >5% and >10% of body weight over the 16 week assessment period.
Weight will be measured in kg.
|
at 16 weeks
|
Malnutrition: Low BMI
Time Frame: at 16 weeks
|
Low BMI will be calculated by combining weight (kg) and height measurements (m²) and defined as <20kg/m² for adults < 70 years old and <22kg/m² for adults ≥ 70 years old over the 16 week assessment period.
|
at 16 weeks
|
Malnutrition: Low Skeletal Muscle Mass
Time Frame: at 16 weeks
|
Low skeletal muscle mass will be calculated by estimating skeletal muscle index (SMI) by dividing the cross-sectional area of muscle in a single 'slice' from an abdominal CT scan (cm2) by stature (square of height in m²).
Low SMI will be defined as ≤38.9 cm2/m2 for females and ≤55.4 for males over the 16 week assessment period.

at 16 weeks
