Weight gain prevention interventions in the Study of Novel Approaches to Weight Gain Prevention (SNAP) trial promote ideal cardiovascular health in young adults
Authors' conclusion
Two weight gain prevention interventions led to improvements in ideal CVH at 2 years. Interventions explicitly focused on a broader constellation of LS7 domains might lead to even greater changes in CVH.
Study context
- Population
- Young adults aged 18–35 years, BMI 21.0–30.9 kg/m²
- Participants
- 599 adults
- Comparison
- Self-regulation with large changes vs small changes vs self-guided control
- Primary endpoint
- Change in average number of ideal LS7 (American Heart Association's Life's Simple 7) components met
- Follow-up
- 2 years
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Pre- to post-treatment change in mean number of ideal LS7 components met
Large change

Small change

Large change vs Control: P < 0.05 · Small change vs Control: P < 0.05
Further findings
Improved by ≥1 ideal LS7 component · 2 years
Declined by ≥1 ideal LS7 component · 2 years
Individual LS7 components: ideal BMI and glucose · 2 years
- Odds of ideal BMI and glucose varied by treatment condition
