Sustained weight loss one year after group telephone intervention: 3-year results from the SHINE study

Abstract

A telephone delivered translation of the DPP weight loss program, delivered by trained primary care staff over 2 years, resulted in significant weight loss for patients with metabolic syndrome. Participants in groups (conference calls) continued to lose weight a full year after the program ended, while those called individually regained.

Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00749606.
