‘Red Ruby’: an interactive web-based intervention for lifestyle modification on metabolic syndrome: a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

et al. 2014

BackgroundAlthough effectiveness of web-based interventions on lifestyle changes are recognized, the potential of such programs on metabolic syndrome has not been explored. We describe the protocol of a randomized controlled trial that aims to determine the feasibility, acceptability, usability, and effectiveness of interactive technology on lifestyle intervention in a population with metabolic syndrome.Methods/designThis is a two-arm randomized controlled trial. The study includes 160 participants (n = 80 per arm) who will be recruited via online registration on the study website. The inclusion criteria are that they should have metabolic syndrome and have access to the Internet. All participants will receive information on dietary intake and physical activity through the study website. The intervention group will receive additional resources via the study website including interactive Healthy Heart Profile and calorie restricted diet tailored to the participants. The primary outcomes are feasibility, acceptability, usability, and the change in metabolic syndrome components. The secondary outcomes are comparing quality of life, physical activity and food intake among the study arms. The participants will be followed up to 6 months with data collection scheduled at baseline, 3 and 6 months.DiscussionThere is a need for developing and evaluating web-based interventions that target people with high risk for cardiovascular diseases. This study will therefore make an important contribution to this novel field of research and practice.Trial registrationIRCT201111198132N1

Motivational Interviewing With Parents for Obesity: An RCT

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Motivational interviewing (MI) has been shown to be an effective strategy for targeting obesity in adolescents, and parental involvement is associated with increased effectiveness. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the role of parental involvement in MI interventions for obese adolescents.METHODS: A total of 357 Iranian adolescents (aged 14-18 years) were randomized to receive an MI intervention or an MI intervention with parental involvement (MI + PI) or assessments only (passive control). Data regarding anthropometric, biochemical, psychosocial, and behavioral measures were collected at baseline and 12 months later. A series of intention-totreat, 2-way repeated-measures analysis of covariance were performed to examine group differences in change in outcomes measures over the 12-month follow-up period.RESULTS: Results revealed significant effects on most of the outcome parameters for MI + PI (eg, mean 6 SD BMI z score: 2.58 6 0.61) compared with the passive control group (2.76 6 0.70; post hoc test, P = .02), as well as an additional superiority of MI + PI compared with MI only (2.81 6 0.76; post hoc test, P = .05). This pattern was also shown for most of the anthropometric, biochemical, psychometric, and behavioral outcome variables.CONCLUSIONS: MI with parental involvement is an effective strategy in changing obesity-related outcomes and has additional effects beyond MI with adolescents only. These findings might be important when administering MI interventions in school settings. WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT:Motivational interviewing (MI) has been found to increase the effectiveness of weight loss programs in obese children and adolescents. Although parental involvement seems to be linked to its effectiveness, strong conclusions cannot be drawn. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:The present study found that MI with parental involvement is an effective strategy in changing obesity-related outcomes and has additional effects beyond MI with adolescents only. These findings are important when administering MI interventions in school settings.

Background: Physical inactivity is a modifiable risk factor for obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and certain types of cancer. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the patterns and demographic correlates with physical activity among an urban population in Shiraz, Iran. Materials and Methods: This study was a population-based cross-sectional study with a multiple-stage sampling method of 700 subjects, all over 18 years old. Physical activity was assessed through the long version of the international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ), using face-to-face interviews with last-week recall. Participants were categorized into inactive, moderate, and intense activity categories. For data analysis, SPSS version 19 was used. Student's t-test and one-way ANOVA were also performed. Results: Based on the three activity categories established by the IPAQ, 14.3% of Shiraz adults were inactive, 44.5% were active, and 41.2% had a high level of activity, but > 67.6% of the sample did not engage in any type of vigorous-intensity physical activity lasting for at least 10 minutes. Males and young people participated in more vigorous activity compared to females and older people. Married and highly educated people were more likely to demonstrate higher levels of physical activity during leisure time. Conclusions: According to the results of this study, there is a need to promote various forms of physical activity, with special attention to leisure-time activities and vigorous-intensity physical activity, across both genders and all age groups, especially in jobless and poorly educated individuals.
