“…While 62 participants attended all meetings, 9 of them missed one session. The adherence rate reported in this study was higher than that reported in other education intervention studies [22][23][24][25]. The higher adherence rate may be related to the fact that a higher ratio of participants in this group considered themselves overweight and were more careful in avoiding high cholesterol.…”

Objective The high prevalence of obesity and its association with chronic diseases is a major public health problem. This study aimed to evaluate a group-based Food and Nutrition Education Program for the treatment of excess weight in Brazilian women attending the Family Health Strategy. Methods This quasi-experimental intervention study was conducted among 172 women, including 87 women in the intervention group who participated in a nutritional education program that addressed topics in the area of nutrition. The Intervention and Control groups underwent an anthropometric evaluation at the beginning of the study and at the 6th month. Results At the end of the intervention, the intervention group showed a significant reduction in weight and Body Mass Index, while the control group showed an increase in these variables. Women who completed the intervention (n=71) showed a mean difference of -5.15 kg and a reduction of 2.04 points in the Body Mass Index. Still 50.7% of the participants in the intervention group achieved a weight loss greater than or equal to 5.0%, and 40.8% of them maintained this reduced weight for up to seven months after the end of the intervention. Conclusion This study emphasizes the importance of group-based food and nutritional education interventions to promote and maintain weight loss, and thus, prevent and treat chronic diseases.

“…This can be explained by the fact that we have directed efforts to PA and not to other behaviors that could also contribute to weight loss. For example, a study that applied an intervention that included PA along with nutritional guidelines had a statistically significant reduction of BMI 28 .…”

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of implementation intentions as an intervention strategy to promote walking in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: We conducted a controlled and randomized trial, with 12 months of follow-up, involving 65 people with T2DM recruited from primary health care units and allocated them in the control group (CG, n = 32) and intervention group (IG, n = 33). The IG received the implementation intention strategy to promote walking and the CG remained in follow-up for conventional treatment in primary health care. The researchers were blinded by anthropometric measurements and the filling of the instruments. RESULTS: After twelve months of follow up, the IG presented a statistically significant increase in the leisure time physical activity when compared with the CG (p = 0.0413) and showed a significant decrease in waist circumference (p = 0.0061). No significant difference was observed regarding body mass index and glycated hemoglobin among groups. CONCLUSIONS: Implementation intention was effective in promoting walking and improving clinical indicators in adults with T2DM.

“…The present study is a part of research concerning the efficacy of obesity treatment, in which not only weight loss, but also behavioral changes are considered intervention endpoints [19]. The behavioral dimension of obesity treatment is vital as the inclusion of new eating behaviors in the daily routine is a prerequisite for the efficacy of obesity treatment and maintenance of its effects [19][20][21]. The major goal of the study was to determine whether dietary management of simple obesity resulted in lasting behavioral changes in eating patterns (behaviors) and affected level of nutrition knowledge.…”

Funds collection zebranie funduszy Summary Background. The goal of the study was to compare self-reported eating behavior and knowledge of nutrition in cohorts of women with simple obesity, who begin nutritional intervention to treat obesity, and in women who achieved the goal of obesity treatment, i.e. reduction of initial body mass by a minimum of 10%. Material and methods. The study was conducted in a group of 38 women with simple obesity who were starting dietary treatment (aged 18-72, mean 41, SD 14.95) and 49 women with simple obesity, who, as a result of dietary treatment for obesity, achieved a body mass reduction by at least 10% (aged 18-67, mean 41, SD 13.44). The survey also included a control group of 100 women with normal body mass (aged 19-59, mean 33, SD 13.29). The study used the Questionnaire of Eating Behavior. Results. Women with simple obesity starting dietary treatment were characterized by a paradoxically higher intensity of characteristics of a pro-health diet as well as a higher intensity of unhealthy diet characteristics, compared to women with normal body mass. Women starting treatment compared to women who achieved successfully completed treatment, exhibited a significantly lower intensity of pro-health diet characteristics and higher intensity of unhealthy diet characteristics. The level of nutrition knowledge among healthy women was significantly higher compared to obese women starting treatment. The women who achieved the goal of treatment were characterized by a higher level of nutrition knowledge compared to those starting treatment. Conclusions. There are significant differences between the studied cohorts of women in terms of level of nutrition knowledge and eating behaviors associated with dietary treatment for obesity.
