Study Overview
Brief Summary
RATIONALE: A diet and physical activity program followed by a weight-loss maintenance program may help obese black women lose weight. It is not yet known whether a weight-loss program is more effective than a general health education program in helping obese black women lose weight. Weight loss may reduce a person's risk of developing cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying a weight-loss program to see how well it works in helping obese black women lose weight.
Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To estimate the effectiveness of a 24-week diet and physical activity intervention and a 1-year maintenance intervention designed to produce and maintain weight loss in obese black women.
- To estimate the effect of these interventions on changes in fasting serum insulin, glucose, and free IGF-1, IGFBP-1, and IGFBP-2 levels as well as total IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 levels.
Secondary
- To compare changes in dietary consumption of total calories, total fat, fruits, vegetables, and fiber as well as physical activity in participants undergoing a weight-loss intervention vs a control intervention.
- To compare changes in knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy, and social support related to diet, physical activity, and weight loss in participants undergoing a weight-loss intervention vs a control intervention.
- Assess the efficacy of a weight-loss intervention mechanism and the association between weight loss and weight loss maintenance with potential biologic mediators of breast cancer risk.
