A Novel Approach to Reducing Adiposity Among Young Men
2021年7月19日 更新者：Virginia Commonwealth University
The purpose of this research study is to find out whether a primarily self-guided program can produce changes in weight, body fat and cardiovascular risk among young men.
研究概览
详细说明
This self-guided lifestyle intervention may help men to reduce weight and improve heart health because it has been adapted to meet the possible weight loss needs of young men. Young men may experience reductions in body weight after enrollment in the intervention, but this is unknown.
Study participation lasts approximately 3 months. Participants will be assessed by the study staff and fill out questionnaires about current lifestyle practices (diet, physical activity, sleep habits, risk behaviors). Weight, medical events, and medication use within the last 3 months will be assessed. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned (like the flip of a coin) to the control group or self-guided group.

无干预：Delayed Treatment Control group

The intervention will consist of one 60-minute group based online session, adapted specifically for young men based previous work with young adults, followed by a self-guided program for 12-weeks.
Participants will receive a tool kit that includes evidence-based resources (scale for self-weighing, handouts that will include free self-monitoring apps and strategies for no-cost exercise, sample meal plans and meal planning tips, and tips for healthy living that emphasize risk areas) to assist them during the self-guided phase, as well as weekly health risk text messages.
