Lifestyle Intervention Program

BACKGROUND Use of a mobile health tool as a waitlist intervention combined with in-person weight management clinic visits may increase participant engagement and be an effective treatment strategy for adolescent obesity. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of and adolescent engagement with a mobile application-based lifestyle intervention program as a waitlist intervention prior to their engagement with a multidisciplinary weight management clinic METHODS This single-arm feasibility study recruited adolescents with obesity, aged 10-16 year old, to a waitlist intervention using a mobile app-based lifestyle intervention program with routine clinical care. Primary outcomes were adolescents’ engagement with the mobile application and BMI z-score at 6 months. Secondary outcomes included health behaviours, physical activity levels , quality of life and disordered eating behaviours. RESULTS We enrolled 40 adolescents with mean age of 13.8 ± 1.7 years and BMI z-score of 2.07 ± 0.30. Participants were ethnically diverse with 45% Chinese, 33% Malay, 15% Indians and 10% of other ethnicity. 83% of the participants had a household income level that was below the national median levels. 83% of the participants engaged with the mobile app-based lifestyle intervention program. There was no significant differences in the BMI z-score and disordered eating behaviours of the participants at 6 months. Participants had significant improvement in quality of life (P=0.044) and physical activity level (P=0.026) with reduction of total caloric intake (P=0.018) and fat percentage (P=0.018) at 6 months. CONCLUSIONS Use of a mobile app-based lifestyle intervention program combined with multidisciplinary clinical care is feasible strategy to provide obesity management services to a low-income and racially diverse Asian population and improves quality of life, physical activity levels and reduces fat percentage and total caloric intake.

Pendahuluan: Era modern yang terjadi menyebabkan perubahan gaya hidup seperti tingginya pola konsumsi fast food dan kurangnya aktivitas fisik menyebabkan peningkatan penyakit kronis salah satunya Diabetes Melitus (DM). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis efektivitas Community-Based Healthy Lifestyle Intervention Program (Co-HELP) Modification terhadap kualitas hidup, kadar gula darah puasa dan tekanan darah pasien DM. Metode: Rancangan quasy experiment digunakan dengan melibatkan 76 responden yang terbagi atas 51 responden kelompok intervensi dan 25 responden kelompok kontrol yang dipilih dengan teknik purposive sampling. Kualitas Hidup responden diukur menggunakan kuesioner diabetes quality of life. Analisa hasil penelitian dengan uji Wilcoxon dan uji Mann-Whitney Hasil: Mayoritas responden kategori dewasa madya, perempuan (77,6%), lama menderita DM >5 tahun (67,1%), pekerjaan ringan (82,9%). Setelah 6 minggu diberikan intervensi Co-HELP Modification didapatkan hasil menujukan ada perbedaan yang signifikan pada kualitas hidup (p=0,000), kadar gula darah puasa (p=0,000), namun hasil uji untuk tekanan sistole dan tekanan diastole tidak ada perbedaan. Hasil uji regresi logistik ordinal menunjukkan bahwa intervensi Co-HELP Modification, umur, jenis kelamin, lama menderita/sakit DM dan pekerjaan secara simultan berpengaruh terhadap kualitas hidup (p= 1,000), kadar gula darah puasa (p=0,975), tekanan sistole (p=1,000) dan tekanan diastole (p=0,315). Kesimpulan :Penelitian ini merekomendasikan perlunya menerapkan Co-HELP Modification sebagai langkah mencegah komplikasi sehingga kualitas hidup pasien meningkat.

The Impact

Background The Västerbotten intervention program (VIP), is a public health promotion program in northern Sweden with the aim of preventing cardiovascular disease. Positive effects have been reported although the evidence is not unequivocal. Since only historical controls have been used, effects from other sources than the program have largely been uncontrolled for and health related quality of life (HRQoL) has not been evaluated. Purpose By using the neighbouring county of Norrbotten (NB) as the reference population, we compare HRQoL in Västerbotten (VB) and in NB. Methods In 2014 the Northern Sweden survey, Monitoring of Trends and Determinants in Cardiovascular Disease (MONICA), examined a random sample from the two counties. HRQoL was measured with the EQ-5D-3L. In total, 1112 subjects aged 40–74 years participated, 516 in VB and 594 in NB. Differences in mean QoL between VB and NB were analysed via Student’s t-test and the Pearson chi-square test. Results Average HRQoL measured by the EQ-5D-index was 0.798 in VB and 0.811 in NB, a difference of 0.013 (p = 0.2, CI -0.009 to 0.036). For subjects aged 45–54 years, the HRQoL was lower in VB than in NB, a difference of 0.048 (p = 0.041; CI 0.002 to 0.0094). Men had higher HRQoL than women, and university educated had higher HRQoL than those without university education. EQ-VAS showed similar results. Subjects from NB and from VB did not differ regarding age, gender and level of education. In NB, HRQoL decrease with age, a pattern not seen in VB. Conclusions We found similar levels of HRQoL in VB and in NB.

Abstract Background: The Västerbotten intervention program (VIP), is a public health promotion program in northern Sweden with the aim of preventing cardiovascular disease. Positive effects on risk factors and risk of coronary heart disease have been reported although the evidence is not unequivocal. Since only historical controls have been used, effects from other sources than the program have largely been uncontrolled for and health related quality of life (QoL) has not been evaluated. Aim: By using the neighbouring county of Norrbotten (NB) as the reference population, we compare QoL in Västerbotten (VB) and in NB. Method: The Northern Sweden MONICA survey in 2014 examined a random sample from the two counties. QoL was measured with the EQ-5D-3L. In total, 1112 subjects participated aged 40-74 years, 516 in VB and 594 in NB. Results: Average QoL measured by the EQ-5D-index was 0.798 in VB and 0.811 in NB, a difference of 0.013 (p=0.2, CI -0.009 to 0.036). For subjects aged 45-54 years, the QoL was lower in VB than in NB, a difference of 0.048 (p=0.041; CI 0.002 to 0.0094). In NB, QoL decreased with age, a pattern not seen in VB. Men had higher QoL than women, and university educated had higher QoL than those without university education. EQ-VAS showed similar results. Subjects from NB and from VB did not differ regarding age, gender and level of education. Conclusion: We found similar levels of QoL in VB and in NB.
