Physical activity and weight loss in a pragmatic weight loss trial
Authors' conclusion
In conclusion, this multi-component intervention resulted in clinically significant weight loss, and greater increases in physical activity over the intervention period were associated with greater percent reductions in body weight.
Study context
- Population
- Underserved population in Louisiana; intervention group of a 24-month multi-component weight loss program delivered by health coaches in primary care clinics
- Participants
- 402 participants
- Comparison
- Tertiles of change in physical activity, baseline to 24 months
- Interventionn = 402
- Primary endpoint
- Percent weight change from baseline by change in physical activity
- Follow-up
- 24 months
Methodological detailspragmatic, cluster-randomized, intervention group only
- Pragmatic
- Cluster-randomized
- Intervention group only
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
% weight change from baseline across increasing tertiles of change in walking · baseline to 24 months
- % weight change (mean ± SE) across increasing tertiles of change in walking
- −3.2 ± 1.0%, −5.5 ± 0.9%, and −7.3 ± 0.9%
- P across tertiles
- p = 0.001
Further findings
% weight change from baseline across increasing tertiles of change in moderate-to-vigorous-intensity activity · baseline to 24 months
- % weight change (mean ± SE) across increasing tertiles of change in moderate-to-vigorous-intensity activity
- −4.3 ± 1.0%, −5.0 ± 0.9%, and −7.0 ± 0.9%
- P across tertiles
- P = 0.04
