One-third of US adults, 86 million people, have prediabetes. Two-thirds adults are overweight or obese and at risk for diabetes. Effective affordable interventions needed that can reach these million, others high risk, to reduce their progression diagnosed
While group interventions for weight management have been shown to be efficacious, adherence is often low, especially among men. This pilot study seeks test whether using web-based video conferencing (VC) technology effective loss. We adapted a 12-week curriculum based on the Diabetes Prevention Program, and delivered this intervention small of men (BMI ≥30 kg/m(2)), VC. Participants were randomized (n = 32) or delayed-intervention control 32). The lost 3.5 % (95 CI 2.1 %, 4.9 %) their...
Background: Effective lifestyle interventions targeting high-risk adults that are both practical for use in ambulatory care settings and scalable at a population management level needed. Objective: Our aim was to examine the potential effectiveness, feasibility, acceptability of delivering an evidence-based Electronic Cardio-Metabolic Program (eCMP) improving health-related quality life, health behaviors, reducing cardiometabolic risk factors adults. Methods: We conducted randomized,...
Abstract Objective: The purpose of this analysis is to examine the effect an algorithm-driven online diabetes prevention program on changes in eating habits, physical activity and wellness/productivity factors. Methods: intervention, Alive-PD, used small-step individually tailored goal setting other features promote diet activity. A 6-month randomized controlled trial was conducted among patients from a healthcare delivery system who had confirmed prediabetes ( n =339). Change weight...
In the United States, 86 million adults have pre-diabetes. Evidence-based interventions that are both cost effective and widely scalable needed to prevent diabetes.Our goal was develop a fully automated diabetes prevention program determine its effectiveness in randomized controlled trial.Subjects with verified pre-diabetes were recruited participate trial of Alive-PD, newly developed, 1-year, behavior change delivered by email Web. The involves weekly tailored goal-setting, team-based...
Although Latino men have the highest prevalence (45%) of obesity among all in United States, traditional weight loss interventions not effectively engaged this hard-to-reach and diverse group. Offering choices technology-mediated may offer advantages.
Background: Innovative, feasible and effective treatment strategies are urgently needed to address the obesity epidemic. While group interventions for weight loss have been shown be efficacious, adherence is often low due participant burden in attending in-person weekly meetings. Technology offers potential highly scalable intervention that can disseminated diverse settings, may improve access adherence. This study assessed feasibility effectiveness of using virtual small groups treatment....
