简要总结
Although weight loss programs are effective in the short-term, maintaining weight loss is more challenging. Regularly tracking and logging physical activity (PA) and diet is related to greater improvements in PA and diet and to greater weight loss over time. Receiving continuous real-time feedback regarding calories burned and calories consumed could enhance weight loss maintenance. This study will examine whether a device that provides such feedback, called the SenseWear armband, enhances weight maintenance.
200 overweight adults aged 18 to 65 years will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: (1) a standard behavior change weight loss group-based program (14 group sessions over a 4 month period followed by 6 phone calls over a 5 month period), (2) a standard behavior change weight loss group-based program (15 group session over a 4 month period followed by 6 phone calls over a 5 month period) combined with the armband, (3) the armband alone (training in the use of the armband and a follow up telephone call), or (4) a self-directed weight loss control group.
Participants will be recruited through USC through listserv emails, flyers, and worksite advertisements. Interested individuals will take part in a telephone screen, an orientation, a run-in visit (which includes 2 weeks of PA and dietary logging), a baseline assessment, and a randomization visit. The intervention will then take place over a 9-month period with eligible participants. Participants will take part in follow-up assessments at month 4 and 9. Assessments at all three times will include questionnaires assessing diet, PA, psychosocial factors related to diet and PA, and quality of life related measures. They will also have their fasting blood drawn to assess lipids, glucose, and insulin, and staff will measure their blood pressure, waist circumference (size), skinfold, height, and weight.

Use of Electronic Feedback on Diet and Physical Activity to Enhance Weight Management Research Summary Steven N. Blair, PED, Principal Investigator
Primary Aim
Dr. Blair and the investigative team will evaluate the contribution of the BodyMedia metabolic monitoring system to weight loss within the context of a standard behavioral weight loss program, and also as a stand alone system. The BodyMedia system consists of a metabolic monitor (armband) and computer software that analyzes energy expenditure, duration and level of physical activity, and other metabolic processes in free-living conditions. The proposed study will test the following hypotheses:
- The standard behavioral weight loss program (Standard), BodyMedia augmented program (Armband), and the Armband Alone will produce more weight loss and reduction in waist circumference over 4 months and maintain greater weight loss and reduction in waist circumference than does a usual care self-help program (Usual Care).
- The Armband program will produce weight loss and reduction in waist circumference comparable to the Standard program over 4 months.
- The Armband Alone program will produce weight loss and reduction in waist circumference comparable to the Standard program after 9 months.
- The Armband program will produce weight loss and reduction in waist circumference greater than the Standard program after 9 months.

研究组 & 干预措施
A - GWL
Group Weight Loss Program (GWL) - Participants in this group attended a 14-session group weight loss program administered by trained facilitators plus 6 one-on-one telephone sessions with a facilitator.
干预措施: Group weight loss program (Behavioral)
B - GWL+SWA
Group weight loss program plus use of the Senseware Armband - Participants in this group attended a 14-session group weight loss program administered by trained facilitators plus 6 one-on-one telephone sessions with a facilitator and wore a SenseWear Armband. The SenseWear system includes the Armband, a real-time display device, and a personalized Weight Management Solutions web account. Participants received training in using the Armband and were asked to wear it at least 16 hours per day.
干预措施: Group weight loss program plus use of the Senseware Armband (Other)
C - SWA Alone
Use of the senseware armband alone program - The intervention for the SWA Alone group was the SenseWear system includes the Armband, a real-time display device, and a personalized Weight Management Solutions web account. Participants received training in using the Armband and were asked to wear it at least 16 hours per day.
干预措施: Use of the senseware armband alone program (Device)
D - Standard Care
Standard Care - Participants in this group received a self-directed weight loss manual that focused on cognitive and behavior change principles and learning activities based on Active Living Every Day and Healthy Eating Every Day
