简要总结
Broad, diverse, and innovative efforts are needed to address the growing dual public health challenges of obesity and diabetes, especially for those at increased risk like minority older adults. The emerging field of health games offers an innovative opportunity to reach populations to provide healthy eating and physical activity messages. Little research has focused on the use of health games specifically tailored for older adults. This study builds upon a health game designed to provide knowledge, facilitate movement, enhance motivation, and encourage healthy eating (HE) and physical activity (PA) behaviors in youth. This study will adapt, implement, and evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, adherence, and preliminary outcomes of the game among overweight/obese African American older adults.
