Hawkins LK, Burns L, Swancutt D, Moghadam S, Pinkney J, Tarrant M. Which components of behavioral weight management programs are essential for weight loss in people living with obesity? A rapid review of systematic reviews. Obes Rev 2024:e13798. [PMID: 38952041 DOI: 10.1111/obr.13798] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2023] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024]
Abstract
The optimal treatment and organization of care for people with obesity is one of the greatest challenges facing today's health services. While surgery and pharmacotherapy offer effective treatment options for some people with obesity, behavioral interventions are important to support long-term behavioral change. However, little is known about the most effective components of behavioral interventions, and this is especially the case for people with complex or severe obesity (i.e. body mass index [BMI] > 35 kg/m2). Accordingly, the current rapid review aimed to identify which behavior change techniques (BCTs) are effective for weight loss in adults with (severe) obesity. A secondary aim was to review the effects of BCTs on dietary behaviors and physical activity, and psychological outcomes, recognizing that behavioral interventions commonly target these. A search of Scopus, Ovid Medline, and Web of Science resulted in 1227 results, with 22 reviews eligible for inclusion. The most commonly reported BCTs were self-monitoring and goal setting, but these had variable effects on weight in adults with obesity. Combining these BCTs with other self-regulatory techniques led to increased weight loss. Further, for adults with severe obesity, so-called 'nudge' techniques and self-regulatory techniques were associated with greater weight loss. Three reviews also found that while self-monitoring increased physical activity, behavioral commitments increased changes to dietary behaviors. BCTs were not associated with psychological well-being. The review confirms that behavioral interventions have an impact in weight management, including for individuals with more complex or severe obesity, but highlights the need for further investigation of their use within clinical settings.

Abstract
Non-adherence to medication is a global health problem with far-reaching individual-level and population-level consequences but remains unappreciated and under-addressed in the clinical setting. With increasing comorbidity and polypharmacy as well as an ageing population, cardiovascular disease and medication non-adherence are likely to become increasingly prevalent. Multiple methods for detecting non-adherence exist but are imperfect, and, despite emerging technology, a gold standard remains elusive. Non-adherence to medication is dynamic and often has multiple causes, particularly in the context of cardiovascular disease, which tends to require lifelong medication to control symptoms and risk factors in order to prevent disease progression. In this Review, we identify the causes of medication non-adherence and summarize interventions that have been proven in randomized clinical trials to be effective in improving adherence. Practical solutions and areas for future research are also proposed.

The specially designed nudging tableware promotes healthy food choices: Evidence from a randomized crossover trial in normal-weight young adults. Physiol Behav 2024; 273:114412. [PMID: 37981095 DOI: 10.1016/j.physbeh.2023.114412] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/21/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of the specially designed nudging tableware, including a plate and bowl, on individual food choices in normal-weight young adults and preliminarily explore its mechanisms. We hypothesized that the toolset could increase the choice of vegetables and decrease that of rice. METHODS A randomized, single-blind, two-period crossover trial was carried out among 40 normal-weight university students in China. All subjects completed two buffets separated by an interval of one week, wearing the eye tracker. Vegetable choice, evaluated through the proportion of vegetables, was the primary outcome, and the weight of vegetables and rice were the secondary outcomes. The mechanisms of the decision-making process were preliminarily explored through eye tracking. RESULTS The usage of the nudging tableware significantly increased the proportion of vegetables and decreased the amount of rice taken (P<0.05), while insignificantly increased the weight of vegetables (P = 0.079). Eye tracking shows that the nudging plate significantly prolonged the food-choosing process and fixation duration on vegetables (P<0.05), and the latter was positively correlated to the increased quantity of vegetables while using the nudging plate (r = 0.493, P<0.01). CONCLUSION The specially designed nudging tableware might be an effective and practical tool to promote the choice of less rice and more vegetables. Mechanisms behind this change might include automatic and unconscious processes with the inconspicuously smaller capacity of the bowl and larger portion size of the vegetable segment, and increased attention triggered by the vegetable patterns and larger green underpainting.

Nutrition and Exercise for Wellness and Recovery: A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Community-Based Health Intervention. Psychiatr Serv 2022; 74:463-471.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of the Nutrition and Exercise for Wellness and Recovery (NEW-R) intervention for improving competency and behaviors related to diet, physical activity, and weight management. METHODS Participants with psychiatric disabilities were recruited from four community mental health agencies and a hospital-based psychiatric outpatient clinic and randomly assigned to the NEW-R intervention (N=55) or control condition (N=58). Outcome measures included the Perceived Competence Scale, Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP), and weight change; random-effects regression models were used. A follow-up analysis examined the interactions of group, time, and site. RESULTS Fifty of the 55 intervention participants and 57 of the 58 control participants completed the study. The two groups did not differ significantly on any measured baseline characteristic. The intervention group had statistically significant improvements, compared with the control group, in perceived competence for exercise and healthy eating, total HPLP score, and scores on two HPLP subscales (nutrition and spiritual growth). No significant difference between groups was found for weight loss. A study condition × time × site effect was observed: at the three sites where mean weight loss occurred, NEW-R participants lost significantly more weight than did control participants. CONCLUSIONS NEW-R offers promise as an intervention that can initiate the change to healthy lifestyle behaviors and boost perceived competence in a healthy lifestyle. It may also be effective for weight loss when administered in supportive settings.
