“…(Yancey, McCarthy et al 1998;Siegel, Yancey et al 2000) A membership to this gym was offered as an incentive for all study participants, with the experimental and control groups being offered alternate days to minimize cross-condition contamination. At the study site, informed consent was obtained and screening for conditions precluding moderate exercise was performed, using American College of Sports Medicine guidelines.…”

Objectives-This study tested the efficacy of an eight-week, culturally targeted community-based nutrition and physical activity promotion intervention, Fight Cancer with Fitness! (FCF).Methods-A randomized, controlled trial was conducted in a black-owned commercial gym in a sample of 366 predominantly overweight or obese, healthy African-American women.Results-Dietary quality as indexed by fruit and vegetable intake improved significantly in the intervention group compared to the control group at 12 months follow-up, and proportion of calories consumed as fat decreased in both groups.Conclusions-This individually-targeted cancer prevention intervention produced beneficial effects on dietary quality that were sustained for at least 12 months.

“…Some cross-sectional studies have found a direct relationship between mood and obesity [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] whereas the association was not entirely confirmed or even rejected in other studies pointing to obesity as related to low levels of depression and anxiety. [37][38][39] Reasons as to why a depressed mood exerts such an apparently deleterious effect on obese subjects are not known so far.…”

Objective: To examine the contribution of depressed mood in obese subjects on the prediction of a future coronary heart disease event (CHD). Design: A prospective population-based cohort study of three independent cross-sectional surveys with 6239 subjects, 45-74 years of age and free of diagnosed CHD, stroke and cancer. During a mean follow-up of 7 years, 179 CHD events occurred among men and 50 events among women. Subjects: A total of 737 (23%) male and 773 (26%) female subjects suffering from obesity (BMI X30 kg/m 2 ). Measurements: Body weight determined by trained medical staff following a standardized protocol; standardized questionnaires to assess subsyndromal depressive mood and other psychosocial features. Results: The main effect of obesity to predict a future CHD (hazard ratio, HR ¼ 1.38, 95% CI 1.03-1.84; P ¼ 0.031) and the interaction term of obesity by depression (HR ¼ 1.73, 95% CI 0.98-3.05; P ¼ 0.060) were borderline significant, both covariate adjusted for multiple risk factors. Relative to the male subgroup with normal body weight and no depression, the male obese group with no depression was not at significantly increased risk for CHD events (HR ¼ 1.17, 95% CI 0.76-1.80; P ¼ 0.473) whereas CHD risk in males with both obesity and depressed mood was substantially increased (HR ¼ 2.32, 95% CI 1.45-3.72, P40.0001). The findings for women were similar, however, not significant probably owing to lack of power associated with low event rates. Combining obesity and depressed mood resulted in a relative risk to suffer from a future CHD event of HR 1.84 (95% CI 0.79-4.26; P ¼ 0.158). Conclusions: Depressed mood substantially amplifies the CHD risk of middle-aged obese, but otherwise apparently healthy men. The impact of depression on the obesity risk in women is less pronounced.
