The wellness group showed significant improvements in waist circumference compared to the control group (P < .001).

Wellness groups can effectively reduce waist circumference in community settings.

The educational intervention resulted in large improvements in diet and exercise among obese peri- and post-menopausal African-American women.

Practitioners can implement educational programs to enhance diet and exercise in this demographic.

A community setting is effective for promoting and improving health behaviors.

Community-based programs can be leveraged to improve health behaviors effectively.

The dissertation evaluates the effectiveness of physical activity promotion in the clinical setting.

Clinicians should assess the effectiveness of their physical activity promotion strategies.

Integrating physical activity as a standard of care can improve patient outcomes.

Healthcare systems should adopt physical activity promotion as a routine part of patient care.

Das BASEL-Programm führte zu einer mittleren Gewichtsreduktion von 4,9 % bei Programmende und 7 % beim Nachtreffen.

Regelmäßige Teilnahme am Programm ist entscheidend für den Therapieerfolg.

Über 44,3 % der Teilnehmenden erreichten eine Gewichtsreduktion von ≥ 5 %.

Ein signifikanter Anteil der Teilnehmenden kann durch das Programm erfolgreich abnehmen.

Participants experienced a median weight change of −4.9 kg over the entire intervention period.

Dietitians can effectively support weight loss in overweight and obese adults using mobile app counseling.

Significant changes in BMI, waist circumference, body fat, and blood pressure were observed.

Monitoring BMI and other health metrics is crucial for assessing the effectiveness of weight loss interventions.

Participants demonstrated significant changes in eating habits, including increased vegetable and fruit consumption.

Encouraging healthier eating habits is essential for successful weight management.

Significant improvements were observed in the body weight of the participating women by the 3rd month (-1.15 ± 2.51 kg) and 6th month (-1.13 ± 4.15 kg) of the intervention (p <0.05).

Practitioners can consider peer support interventions as effective strategies for weight loss in rural women.

Community-based obesity interventions are more promising than those based at a facility.

Practitioners should consider implementing community-based interventions for obesity management.

The HAPPY trial aims to evaluate the effect of a 12-week, mobile health (mHealth), app-based intervention promoting healthy eating habits among patients with type 2 diabetes.

This trial may provide insights into effective digital interventions for dietary management in diabetes.

The intervention includes weekly topics and activities related to healthy eating, such as increasing vegetable intake.

Practitioners can utilize structured weekly topics to guide dietary interventions.

The study tests a health intervention aimed at improving knowledge and awareness of appropriate gestational weight gain (GWG) and providing patient-centered nutritional counseling.

Practitioners can implement similar interventions to educate and counsel pregnant women on appropriate weight gain.

The primary objective of the study is to increase the proportion of women managing their GWG as recommended by the IOM.

Practitioners should aim to align their counseling with IOM recommendations for GWG.

The intervention may reduce adverse pregnancy outcomes, including gestational diabetes, due to healthier rates of GWG.

Practitioners should consider the broader health implications of managing GWG in their patients.

Low carbohydrate diets may contribute to weight reduction, improved glycemic control, and reduced insulin requirements in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Practitioners may consider recommending low carbohydrate diets for weight and glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients.

Das BASEL ist ein effektives Adipositas-Behandlungsprogramm mit einer mittleren Gewichtsreduktion von 4,9% bei Programmende und 7% beim Nachtreffen.

Das Programm zeigt, dass regelmäßige Teilnahme zu signifikanten Gewichtsverlusten führt.

Personen, die ≥75% der Lektionen und das Nachtreffen besuchten, hatten eine 3,8-mal höhere Chance auf eine Gewichtsreduktion von ≥5%.

Höhere Teilnahmequoten sind entscheidend für den Therapieerfolg.

High sugar consumption can lead to toxic properties and health risks.

Practitioners should monitor and advise against excessive sugar consumption.

Participants content with intervention delivery via the EHR had significantly less weight regain (p = 0.013).

Practitioners should ensure patient satisfaction with EHR coaching to minimize weight regain.

Participants who felt a strong connection to their coach had significantly less weight regain (p < 0.01).

Building a strong rapport between patients and coaches may reduce weight regain.

Participants with unmet needs by the intervention regained more weight (p < 0.01).

Addressing unmet needs is crucial for effective weight management interventions.
