ABSTRACT Background Most weight lost during weight‐loss programmes is eventually regained. Interventions based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) demonstrate good evidence for long‐term loss, but are often costly difficult to scale up. Guided self‐help delivered using technology non‐specialist coaches could increase scalability, it unclear whether delivering ACT‐based interventions in this way feasible acceptable. Methods In feasibility study, 61 people who recently completed a...
Abstract Background Obesity care may benefit from precision approaches, matching patients to treatment types based on their individual characteristics, including eating behaviour traits (EBTs) like emotional eating, uncontrolled external internal disinhibition and restraint. Initial evidence suggests that Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based interventions might address dysregulated EBTs more effectively than standard behavioural treatments. However, it is unclear if ACT effective for...
Summary Adolescence is an important period of increasing independence, when adolescents experience changing influences family and friends on their diets as they transition into adulthood. We conducted a scoping review to map the literature interpersonal determinants diet quality eating behaviors among individuals aged 13–30 years. searched seven databases, following screening, 329 papers were included. Determinants grouped according sub‐categories Nutrition Eating framework: structure ( n =...
BackgroundEvidence about physical activity of young children across developmental and health states is very limited. Using data from an inclusive UK cohort, ActiveCHILD, we investigated relationships between objectively measured activity, child development, social context, health-related quality life (HRQoL).MethodsChildren (12–36 months), purposively sampled pathways, abilities, sociodemographic factors, were recruited through thirteen National Health Service organisations in England. Data...
Emotional eating is a barrier to weight management. Interventions based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) promote the acceptance of uncomfortable feelings, which can reduce urge use food as coping mechanism. We aimed explore how participants an ACT-based management intervention (WMI) experience emotional relevant content. conducted semi-structured telephone interviews with digital guided self-help WMI. Fifteen were purposefully selected represent range demographic characteristics...
Precision medicine approaches to obesity aim maximise treatment effectiveness by matching weight management interventions (WMIs) characteristics of individuals, such as eating behaviour traits (EBTs). Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)-based WMIs may address EBTs emotional uncontrolled more effectively than standard interventions, might be most effective in people with high levels these traits. However, few studies have examined this directly. We will examine (a) whether ACT-based are...
<h3>Objective</h3> Evidence about physical activity of young children across health states is very limited. Using data from an inclusive UK cohort, ActiveCHILD, we describe children's objectively measured, everyday activity, and investigate its relationship with child development, disability, social context, health-related quality life (HRQoL). <h3>Methods</h3> Children (12–36 months), purposively sampled pathways, developmental abilities sociodemographic factors, were recruited through...
<h3>Objective</h3> To find out what community clinicians can do to promote active play and physical activity in the youngest children, including those at highest risk of life-course inactivity. <h3>Methods</h3> Children (12–36 months), purposively sampled across health pathways, developmental abilities, sociodemographic factors, were recruited through thirteen NHS Trusts England. Data collected longitudinally from 2017 2021, on: everyday using accelerometer (ActiGraph 3GTX);...
