Overview
Brief Summary
The overall purpose of this project is to study the acute, short- (≤ 1 year) and long- (> 1 year) term effects on body composition and psychological health after a 10 to 14-weeks comprehensive lifestyle modification program for the treatment of severe obesity.
The aims of the PhD project are to investigate whether an intensive lifestyle intervention leads to acute and short term (< 1 year) changes in:
- The BMI/Weight
- Body composition (waist circumference, fat mass, fat free mass, skeletal muscle mass and visceral fat area)
- Psychosocial factors such as eating behavior, anxiety and depression symptoms and health-related quality of life
Detailed Description
The study is based on data collected from patients at The Hjelp24 NIMI Ringerike Obesity Clinic, which is an inpatient program to address morbid obesity in adults. The study is a non-randomized clinical trial comparing the acute and long-term effects on physical and psychological health of the 10-14-weeks inpatient comprehensive lifestyle modification program for the treatment of morbidly obese patients. In between the inpatient stay, the patients are followed up either by telephone, occasional mail and/or structured / weekly email. In this project we prospectively follow two groups of patient included in the treatment programme in September 2010 and January 2011, respectively. In addition a control group with waiting-list patients is also included in the study, and they were recruited in October-November 2011
