Adult obesity treatment and prevention: A trans-agency commentary on the research landscape, gaps, and future opportunities. Obes Rev 2024:e13769. [PMID: 38830619 DOI: 10.1111/obr.13769] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2023] [Revised: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 04/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024]
Abstract
Given the high and growing prevalence of obesity among adults in the United States, obesity treatment and prevention are important topics in biomedical and public health research. Although researchers recognize the significance of this problem, much remains unknown about safe and effective prevention and treatment of obesity in adults. In response to the worsening obesity epidemic and the many unknowns regarding the disease, a group of key scientific and program staff members of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other federal and non-government agencies gathered virtually in September 2021 to discuss the current state of obesity research, research gaps, and opportunities for future research in adult obesity prevention and treatment. The current article synthesizes presentations given by attendees and shares their organizations' current initiatives and identified gaps and opportunities. By integrating the information discussed in the meeting and current initiatives, we identify potential targets and overlapping priorities for future research, including health equity and disparities in obesity, the heterogeneity of obesity, and the use of technological and innovative approaches in interventions.

A Scoping Review to Explore the Potential Benefits of Nutrition Interventions for Latino/a Adult Cancer Survivors in the US. Nutrients 2023; 15:4963. [PMID: 38068821 PMCID: PMC10708293 DOI: 10.3390/nu15234963] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2023] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/18/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Despite evidence for the role of healthy diets in preventing cancer, little is known about how nutrition can support positive health outcomes after a cancer diagnosis for Latino/a cancer survivors in the United States (U.S.). The purpose of this scoping review is to understand the potential benefits of nutrition interventions in supporting healthy survivorship among Latino/a cancer survivors in the U.S. A team compiled, evaluated, and summarized the available evidence. Potentially relevant studies were identified from a comprehensive search of peer-reviewed databases and the gray literature. Eligible studies included Latino/a adult cancer survivors with a nutrition education, dietary change, or behavioral intervention; and a nutrition-related health outcome. Data were extracted and summarized using tables. The review included 10 randomized controlled trials, with samples or subsamples of Latino/a cancer survivors. Interventions mostly focused on breast cancer survivors. The results showed some evidence that dietary behaviors, like fruit and vegetable intake, were related to positive outcomes, like a decreased risk of cancer (through changes in DNA methylation), decreased risk breast cancer recurrence (through changes in inflammatory biomarkers), or improved perception of health status. The findings highlight a need for community-engaged and culturally relevant nutrition interventions for Latino/a adults, especially for rural communities; and innovative intervention approaches, including m/ehealth approaches with long-term follow-up.

Feasibility and Acceptability of a Text Message Intervention to Promote Adherence to Nutrition and Physical Activity Guidelines in a Predominantly Hispanic Sample of Cancer Survivors and Their Informal Caregivers: Results from a Pilot Intervention Trial. Nutrients 2023; 15:4799. [PMID: 38004192 PMCID: PMC10675593 DOI: 10.3390/nu15224799] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Revised: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/10/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Hispanic cancer survivors face unique barriers to meeting American Cancer Society (ACS) nutrition and physical activity guidelines, which reduce the risk of cancer recurrence and mortality and improve quality of life. This pilot intervention trial evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of a two-week ACS guideline-based nutrition and physical activity text message intervention in a predominantly Hispanic sample of cancer survivors and their informal caregivers. A mixed methods approach was used to assess feasibility and acceptability of the intervention. Feasibility and acceptability were measured by meeting a-priori cut-offs of >80% for recruitment, retention, and text message response rate. Participants also completed a semi-structured exit interview by telephone that assessed intervention components. Thirteen cancer survivors and six caregivers (n = 19) participated in this pilot study; 78% self-identified as Hispanic. Mean time since treatment completion for survivors was 11.9 years (SD 8.4), and 67% had breast cancer. Cancer survivors had a higher acceptability rate for physical activity (94%) compared to nutrition messages (86%), whereas equal acceptability rates were observed for both types of messages among caregivers (91%). Texting interventions are a feasible, acceptable, and a cost-effective strategy that have the potential to promote lifestyle behavior change among Hispanic cancer survivors and caregivers.

The Hans Kai trial: study protocol of a mixed methods randomized controlled trial evaluating a peer-led health promotion program for adults with or without noncommunicable diseases. Trials 2023; 24:689. [PMID: 37875962 PMCID: PMC10598963 DOI: 10.1186/s13063-023-07708-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/06/2023] [Indexed: 10/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND A significant proportion of Canadian adults is impacted by chronic noncommunicable diseases. These conditions may be improved by peer-led health promotion interventions that target modifiable risk factors; however, to date, there is mixed evidence on the effectiveness of these interventions. Unlike other health promotion programs, Hans Kai is grounded in a holistic model of health that simultaneously addresses multiple determinants of health at different levels of human ecology. In Hans Kai, a set of informational sessions that are delivered in a group setting by healthcare professionals are followed by regular peer-led group meetings in a self-governed support group setting that is designed to promote implementation of newly learned health competences. The Hans Kai trial described here aims to evaluate the efficacy of the Hans Kai program in promoting the health and wellbeing of its participants and investigate the experiences of the Hans Kai participants and facilitators. METHODS This research will involve a mixed methods trial combining an experimental component with a qualitative component. The experimental component will involve a 6-month 2-group parallel superiority randomized controlled trial (RCT) in which 105 participants will be randomly assigned to two conditions, an intervention group (n = 70) that will participate in the Hans Kai program and a control group (n = 35) that will have access to standard care using a computer-generated random sequence; blinding will not occur. The RCT will test the impact of the program on several health outcomes and will be followed by a 12-18-month observational follow-up study that will provide data on the long-term durability of the 6-month RCT health outcomes. The qualitative component will investigate the experiences of program participants (n = 30) and facilitators (n = 15) to identify the main strengths and limitations of Hans Kai, uncover potential implementation issues, and elucidate the mechanisms through which the program works. The population of interest will include adults aged 18 + with or without chronic health conditions who self-report an interest in taking control of their own health and improving their lifestyle. In the RCT, all outcomes of interest will be measured using a multi-method approach, involving self-report questionnaires and objective indicators, and within-subject mean changes in outcomes over time between the two groups will be compared to address the RCT aims. Similarly, in the qualitative component, a multi-method approach, involving in-depth individual interviews, photovoice, and online surveys, will be used to reach a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the program strengths, how the program works, and for which people it is more effective. Adaptable components of the program will also be investigated and modified according to the feedback provided by the RCT participants. In the mixed methods integration of evidence, the qualitative findings will be used to explain the quantitative RCT results. DISCUSSION The RCT findings will help support the further development and use of Hans Kai as well as other peer-led health promotion interventions.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to conduct validity and reliability testing of a new instrument, the Preferences and Self-Efficacy of Diet and Physical Activity Behaviors Questionnaire for Latina Women (PSEDPALW), which is for women who identify as Latina and are breast cancer survivors. PSEDPALW measures preferences and self-efficacy for four behaviors: physical activity (PA), fruit and vegetable (FV) intake, dietary fat (DF) intake, and added sugar (AS) intake (eight scales in total). Validity testing was conducted through an expert panel review and a cognitive interviewing focus group (n = 4). Reliability was tested via internal consistency reliability (n = 118) and test-retest reliability (n = 30). Validity testing was used to refine PSEDPALW. Reliability testing was conducted on three versions with 104, 47, and 41 items. PA scales had acceptable Cronbach's α (>0.70) but low ICC (NS). FV and DF scales had acceptable Cronbach's α (>0.70), with preferences for the shorter (47- and 41-item) versions (Cronbach's α < 0.70), and all scales had moderate ICC (p < 0.05, except the FV scale on the 104-item version (p = 0.07)). The AS preferences scale had Cronbach's α < 0.70, with self-efficacy > 0.70 for all versions and ICC moderate for all versions (p ≤ 0.01). PSEDPALW may be useful to assess diet and physical activity preferences and self-efficacy in theory-based diet and physical activity interventions in women who identify as Latina and are breast cancer survivors.

Abstract
BackgroundA growing number of lifestyle interventions are being developed to promote weight loss and adoption of a healthful lifestyles among breast cancer survivors; yet Black and Latina women remain underrepresented.PurposeWe performed a scoping review of the available peer-reviewed literature to describe and compare the content, design, methods, and primary outcomes of current diet and/or physical activity (PA) interventions after a breast cancer diagnosis among Black and Latina women.MethodsWe queried PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, MEDLINE, and Clinicaltrials.gov up to October 1, 2022, to identify all randomized controlled trials of diet and/or PA after diagnosis of breast cancer with a majority (>50%) of Black or Latina participants.ResultsTwenty-two randomized controlled trials were included in this review (five efficacy, twelve pilot, five on-going). Nine trials were among Latinas (two diet, four PA, and three diet/PA), six among Blacks (one PA and five diet/PA) and seven included both populations (five PA and two diet/PA), all of which examined different endpoints. Two of the five efficacy studies achieved their a priori outcome (one diet trial improved short term dietary intake; one PA trial achieved clinically significant improvements in metabolic syndrome score), both in Latinas. Eight pilot trials intervened on both diet and PA and three of them found favorable behavioral changes. Three (two for Latinas and one for Blacks) out of the nine diet and PA trials and three (all for Latinas) efficacy trials incorporated a culturally focused approach (i.e., traditional foods, music, Spanish content, bicultural health coaches, spirituality). Overall, four trials, including one efficacy trial, had one-year follow-up data, with three finding sustained behavior change. Electronic/mobile components were incorporated in five trials and one involved informal care givers. Most of the trials were geographically limited to the Northeast USA (n=8, NY, NC, DC, NJ) and Texas (n=4).ConclusionsMost of the trials we identified were pilot or feasibility studies and of short duration, demonstrating the need for large randomized controlled efficacy lifestyle interventions among Black and Latina breast cancer survivors. Culturally tailored programing was limited but is an important component to incorporate in future trials in these populations.

A digital health intervention to improve nutrition and physical activity in breast cancer survivors: Rationale and design of the Cook and Move for Your Life pilot and feasibility randomized controlled trial. Contemp Clin Trials 2022; 123:106993. [PMID: 36336249 DOI: 10.1016/j.cct.2022.106993] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2022] [Revised: 10/24/2022] [Accepted: 10/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The design of a randomized pilot trial evaluating the feasibility of two doses of a digital health intervention promoting changes in nutrition and physical activity in breast cancer (BC) survivors is described. METHODS Eligible women were adults with history of early-stage breast cancer and > 60 days post-treatment, consumed <5 servings/day of fruits/vegetables and/or engaged in <150 min/week of aerobic moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, and had internet access. Participants were randomized to 6 months of either a "low" (1 session) or "high" (12 sessions) dose digital health intervention. Zoom-delivered sessions focused on improving diet and physical activity through didactic and experiential classes delivered by a registered dietitian, chef, exercise physiologist, and culinary educator. All study participants received weekly motivational texts, a Fitbit, and study website access. Diet, accelerometry, anthropometric, psychosocial, and biospecimen data were collected remotely at baseline and six months. Primary outcome was feasibility measured via accrual rate, adherence, retention, and acceptability. RESULTS Recruitment began in December 2019, was suspended in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resumed September 2020, and concluded in January 2021. Women were identified from the local BC registry and flyers posted in the oncology clinic. Of 929 women recruited, 321 completed the screening assessment, and of these, 138 were eligible. A total of 74 women were enrolled and randomized to the study. CONCLUSION BC survivors were successfully enrolled in a digital health nutrition and physical activity intervention. If feasible, this intervention will be tested in larger and more diverse populations of cancer survivors. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.govNCT04200482.

Abstract
Objectives There is limited guidance on how to effectively educate cancer survivors to adopt and maintain specific diet and physical activity recommendations, especially among underserved and under-resourced populations. Here, the objective is to present the development of a behavioral and theoretically-based multi-modal diet and physical activity intervention program for Hispanic/Latina breast cancer survivors, Mi Vida Saludable (My Healthy Life). Methods The development process was based on the 6 steps of the Nutrition Education DESIGN Procedure: (1). Decide behaviors; (2). Explore determinants; (3). Select theory-based model; (4). Indicate objectives; (5). Generate plans; and (6). Nail down evaluation. The theoretical framework for the intervention is Social Cognitive Theory. Results The resulting behavioral intervention consists of 2 components. The first component is in-person group education consisting of 4 lessons over 1 month. Each 4-hour group lesson includes a hands-on cooking component, a physical activity component, and facilitator-led nutrition education and discussion, with 2 field trips to a local grocery store and farmers’ market. The second component is an e-Health program that includes weekly text messages, biweekly emailed newsletters, and ongoing website access. Conclusion The systematic DESIGN Procedure provided practical guidance for developing a behaviorally-focused, theory-based, and culturally sensitive program that addresses both dietary and physical activity behaviors for delivery both in-person education and through eHealth. The Procedure may be useful for developing other behaviorally focused and theory-based interventions.

Associations Between Acculturation and Weight, Diet Quality, and Physical Activity Among Latina Breast Cancer Survivors: The ¡Mi Vida Saludable! Study. J Acad Nutr Diet 2022; 122:1703-1716. [PMID: 35398558 PMCID: PMC10030055 DOI: 10.1016/j.jand.2022.04.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2021] [Revised: 03/30/2022] [Accepted: 04/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Among Latinos, greater acculturation to the United States (US) is associated with risk of obesity and obesity-related comorbidities. Less is known about the associations between acculturation and obesity-related modifiable risk factors, such as diet quality and physical activity (PA) among Latina breast cancer survivors. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore associations between acculturation and weight status, diet quality, and PA among Latina breast cancer survivors. DESIGN This is a cross-sectional secondary analysis of baseline data on demographic and clinical characteristics, acculturation, anthropometric measures, diet quality, and PA collected from Latina breast cancer survivors enrolled in the ¡Mi Vida Saludable! (My Healthy Life) behavioral diet and PA intervention trial. PARTICIPANTS/SETTING Participants were Latina women (n = 167) residing in New York City, with a medical history of stage 0 to III breast cancer, no evidence of recurrent or metastatic disease, and at least 90 days post cancer treatment who participated in the ¡Mi Vida Saludable! randomized controlled trial between July 2016 and October 2018. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Acculturation status was measured by the Short Acculturation Scale for Hispanics score, language preference, place of birth, and duration of US residence. Weight, height, and waist and hip circumferences were measured at an in-person clinic visit. Diet information was collected via 3 telephone-based 24-hour dietary recalls and PA information was collected via staff administered 7-day recalls. STATISTICAL ANALYSES PERFORMED Linear regression models examined associations between acculturation and weight status, diet quality, and PA. RESULTS Based on the Short Acculturation Scale for Hispanics acculturation score, more acculturated compared with less acculturated Latinas were younger in age, more educated, and had higher annual household incomes (all, P < .05). Compared with Spanish-speaking Latinas, English-speaking Latinas had larger waist circumference (103 vs 96.1 cm; P = .01) and poorer-quality diets (Healthy Eating Index 2015 scores, 57.3 vs 71.5; P < .001). Greater levels of acculturation were also associated with higher levels of leisure walking at a moderate-to-vigorous intensity (265.8 vs 179.0 min/wk; P =.04). CONCLUSIONS Greater levels of acculturation were associated with higher central obesity and poorer-quality diets. Future lifestyle modification trials tailored to the unique role of acculturation on adopting behavior change recommendations is a promising next step in this line of research.

Accessing online cancer and nutrition information: A descriptive study of Cook for Your Life website user characteristics (Preprint). JMIR Cancer 2022; 8:e37212. [PMID: 35788100 PMCID: PMC9496813 DOI: 10.2196/37212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2022] [Revised: 05/20/2022] [Accepted: 06/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Accessible nutrition resources tailored to patients with cancer, caregivers of cancer survivors, and people interested in cancer prevention are limited. Cook for Your Life is a bilingual (ie, English and Spanish) website providing science-based, nutrition information for people affected by cancer. Objective The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of Cook for Your Life website users. Methods In December 2020, Cook for Your Life website visitors at least 18 years old were invited to participate in an online English-language survey. A Spanish version was offered in April 2021. Demographic, health, and cooking characteristics were collected. Persons with a cancer history were asked about treatment and side effects. Data were analyzed through December 2021 on those completing over half of the survey. Three groups were compared: people with a history of cancer diagnosis, caregivers of cancer survivors, and the general public (ie, people without a cancer history). Website use data were also compared. Results Among English-language respondents, 3346 initiated the survey and 2665 (79.65%) completed over half of the questions. Of these, 54.82% (n=1461) had a cancer diagnosis, 8.26% (n=220) were caregivers, and 36.92% (n=984) were from the general public. English-language respondents were US residents (n=2054, 77.07%), with some from Europe (n=285, 10.69%) and Canada (n=170, 6.38%). Cancer survivors were most likely 55 years of age or older, female, non-Hispanic White, with incomes over US $100,000, and college educated. Caregivers and the general public were younger and more racially and geographically diverse. The most common cancer malignancies among English-language cancer survivors were breast (629/1394, 45.12%) and gastrointestinal (209/1394, 14.99%). For Spanish-language respondents, 942 initiated the survey; of these, 681 (72.3%) were analyzed. Of the 681 analyzed, 13.5% (n=92) were cancer survivors, 6.8% (n=46) were caregivers, and 79.7% (n=543) were from the general public. Spanish-language respondents were also more likely to be female and highly educated, but were younger, were from South or Latin America, and had incomes less than US $30,000. Among Spanish-language cancer survivors, breast cancer (27/81, 33%) and gastrointestinal cancer (15/81, 19%) were the most common diagnoses. Website use data on over 2.2 million users from December 2020 to December 2021 showed that 52.29% of traffic was in English and 43.44% was in Spanish. Compared to survey respondents, a higher proportion of website users were male, younger, and from South or Central America and Europe. Conclusions Cook for Your Life website users were demographically, socioeconomically, and geographically diverse, especially English-language respondents without a cancer history and all Spanish-language respondents. Improvements on website user diversity and reach for all patients with cancer and research on effective strategies for using this digital platform to support cancer prevention, treatment, and survivorship will continue.

Abstract
We examined the effect of waist-to-hip ratio, body mass index (BMI), diet, and physical activity on cognitive functioning among Hispanic/Latina breast cancer survivors in a cross-sectional design study. Participants were 54 Hispanic/Latina breast cancer survivors and completed the NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery. Linear Regression Models tested if statistically significant correlations held with covariates. After controlling for covariates, moderate and hard physical activity were not associated with cognition. However, very hard physical activity was positively associated with faster processing speed (β = 0.56, p < 0.001) and composite cognition score (β = 0.36, p < 0.05). Total time (minutes) of moderate to very hard physical activity was positively associated with cognitive flexibility (β = 0.52, p < 0.001). Total caloric intake was positively associated with episodic memory (β = 0.35 p < 0.05). BMI and WHR were not associated with cognition. These findings showed positive association with engagement in more MVPA and harder intensity physical activity to better cognitive functioning among Hispanic/Latina breast cancer survivors.ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02780271.

Cruciferous Vegetable Intervention to Prevent Cancer Recurrence in Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Survivors: Development using a Systematic Process (Preprint). JMIR Cancer 2021; 8:e32291. [PMID: 35166681 PMCID: PMC8889476 DOI: 10.2196/32291] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2021] [Revised: 11/30/2021] [Accepted: 01/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Bladder cancer is one of the top 10 most common cancers in the United States. Most bladder cancers (70%-80%) are diagnosed at early stages as non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), which can be removed surgically. However, 50% to 80% of NMIBC cases recur within 5 years, and 15% to 30% progress with poor survival. Current treatments are limited and expensive. A wealth of preclinical and epidemiological evidence suggests that dietary isothiocyanates in cruciferous vegetables (Cruciferae) could be a novel, noninvasive, and cost-effective strategy to control NMIBC recurrence and progression. Objective The aim of this study is to develop a scalable dietary intervention that increases isothiocyanate exposure through Cruciferae intake in NMIBC survivors. Methods We worked with a community advisory board (N=8) to identify relevant factors, evidence-based behavior change techniques, and behavioral theory constructs used to increase Cruciferae intake in NMIBC survivors; use the PEN-3 Model focused on incorporating cultural factors salient to the group’s shared experiences to review the intervention components (eg, the saliency of behavioral messages); administer the revised intervention to community partners for their feedback; and refine the intervention. Results We developed a multicomponent intervention for NMIBC survivors consisting of a magazine, tracking book, live telephone call script, and interactive voice messages. Entitled POW-R Health: Power to Redefine Your Health, the intervention incorporated findings from our adaptation process to ensure saliency to NMIBC survivors. Conclusions This is the first evidence-based, theoretically grounded dietary intervention developed to reduce bladder cancer recurrence in NMIBC survivors using a systematic process for community adaptation. This study provides a model for others who aim to develop behavioral, community-relevant interventions for cancer prevention and control with the overall goal of wide-scale implementation and dissemination.
