Efficacy of a Web-based Weight Loss Program
5. juli 2012 oppdatert av: Luzia Valentini, Charite University, Berlin, Germany
Is the Support of a Web-based Weight Loss Program Effective in Supporting Self-initiated Weight Loss and Lifestyle Changes?
Since overweight and obesity, a risk factor for various diseases, is a prevalent problem in the modern society, it is important to search for new strategies to counteract this.
In contrast to in person support, the internet provides a low cost opportunity, which is able to reach a large part of the population.
Therefore a web-based weight loss program may be an adequate mean for many people.
Now it is hypothesised that a web-based weight loss program is able to support a reduction of body weight and weight-related cardiovascular risk factors effectively and to promote a healthier lifestyle.
It is expected that program use, compared to a control group, results in greater reductions in body weight and cardiovascular risk.

Våpen og intervensjoner
Deltakergruppe / Arm |
Intervensjon / Behandling |
|---|---|
|
Eksperimentell: KiloCoach
Study subjects use the KiloCoach program on at least 4 days per week within the first half of the 6 months intervention period.
In the second half, program usage is ad libitum.
|
Study participants in this arm will use the program to record nutrition and physical activity on at least 4 days per week within the first and ad libitum within the second 3 months of the intervention period. Study visits will be conducted at baseline as well as after 1, 3 and 6 months. After 12 months a follow up visit will be conducted. |
|
Ingen inngripen: Control
Study subjects try to reduce body weight on their own, without participating in an organized weight loss program, over a period of 6 months.
|
Study subjects try to reduce their body weight on their own. They are free to exercise and/or change nutritional habits. Not allowed is taking part in any structured weight loss program. Study visits will be conducted at baseline as well as after 1,3 and 6 months. A follow up visit will be conducted after 12 months. |
