“…In nine studies, the control groups not receiving personalized feedback took the form of wait list or minimal face‐to‐face interventions 30, 31, 32, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40. Minimal interventions included one‐off usual care appointments where participants received standardized weight loss‐printed information.…”

SummaryBackgroundObesity levels continue to rise annually. Face‐to‐face weight loss consultations have previously identified mixed effectiveness and face high demand with limited resources. Therefore, alternative interventions, such as internet‐delivered interventions, warrant further investigation. The aim was to assess whether internet‐delivered weight loss interventions providing personalized feedback were more effective for weight loss in overweight and obese adults in comparison with control groups receiving no personalized feedback.MethodNine databases were searched, and 12 studies were identified that met all inclusion criteria.ResultsMeta‐analysis, identified participants receiving personalized feedback via internet‐delivered interventions, had 2.13 kg mean difference (SMD) greater weight loss (and BMI change, waist circumference change and 5% weight loss) in comparison with control groups providing no personalized feedback. This was also true for results at 3 and 6‐month time points but not for studies where interventions lasted ≥12 months.ConclusionThis suggests that personalized feedback may be an important behaviour change technique (BCT) to incorporate within internet‐delivered weight loss interventions. However, meta‐analysis results revealed no differences between internet‐delivered weight loss interventions with personalized feedback and control interventions ≥12 months. Further investigation into longer term internet‐delivered interventions is required to examine how weight loss could be maintained. Future research examining which BCTs are most effective for internet‐delivered weight loss interventions is suggested.

“…Four studies were excluded because the control group received an intervention with technology aspect (Carter, Burley, Nykjaer, & Cade, 2013;Laing et al, 2014;Shaw et al, 2013;Steinberg, Levine, Askew, Foley, & Bennett, 2013).

“…Research that utilizes novel and cost-effective ways of preserving efficacy while reducing burden is needed. Technology-supported interventions have been suggested as key to this endeavor [30] and emerging research in this area appears promising [31][32][33][34][35][36]. Research is needed to determine the level and type of human support needed to facilitate adequate adherence to technology-based intervention tools.…”

In the USA, the prevalence of obesity is 33.8% [1] and type 2 diabetes is 27% [2]. The landmark Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) showed that a lifestyle intervention facilitating a 7% weight loss had a significantly greater impact on diabetes risk than placebo or metformin with a risk reduction of 58% over 3 years [3]. Similar findings were reported in diabetes prevention studies in Finland and China [4,5]. The impact of lifestyle interventions appears to be long term [3,4]. In the 10-year follow-up of the DPP, the incidence of diabetes in the placebo and metformin groups (who had been offered the lifestyle intervention following the initial intervention period) fell to equal that of the lifestyle group; however, the cumulative incidence of diabetes remained lowest in the lifestyle group [6]. The China Da Qing Study revealed reduced incidence of diabetes from a lifestyle intervention at 20-year follow-up [5]. Widespread availability of lifestyle interventions could have a tremendous impact on public health.In 2003, the United States Preventive Services Task Force assigned intensive lifestyle weight loss interventions, a B grade based on a review of the literature, with fair to good evidence for modest, sustained weight loss [7]. In spite of the evidence, intensive lifestyle interventions have not become a part of standard health care practice and are not a third party reimbursable service, with only a few exceptions. A significant barrier to large-scale adoption is the feasibility of translating intensive lifestyle intervention into real world settings. The DPP lifestyle intervention cost US $2,780 per person over 3 years and required 135 visit hours [8]. Although the cost was not significantly higher than the metformin group, visit time was 3.5 times higher. The amount of visit time is high relative to most services available in the current health care environment. To impact public health, research is needed to inform the process of translation and implementation of intensive lifestyle interventions into affordable, feasible, and sustainable programs not just in healthcare settings but also in community settings such as community centers, worksites, schools, and churches. To catalyze translational research efforts, in 2006, the National Institute for Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases sponsored a funding initiative for translational research in diabetes prevention and management. Since then, translational work across myriad settings has been forthcoming. In 2009, a systematic review was performed of the seven studies testing translation into community settings of lifestyle interventions specifically based on the DPP [9]. All reported significant weight loss; however, weight loss achieved (2.6-6%) was typically less than that in the DPP (6.9%). Only three examined 1-year outcomes, but all three had significant weight loss at 1 year. I recently surveyed the authors of these seven programs and found that only two were confirmed to be ongoing, one in a hospital setting [10] and the other in the Young Men's...
