An internet‐based platform with a low‐calorie dietary intervention improves cardiometabolic risk factors in overweight and obese people in China: Half‐year follow‐up results of a randomized controlled trial
Authors' conclusion
The Metawell programme of caloric restriction and remote monitoring can be adapted to overweight and obese people in China to reduce their cardiometabolic risk factors. Furthermore, there was a better improvement in blood pressure in participants who maintained the effects of weight loss.
