Effects of isomaltulose and high amounts of PUFAs together with elevated physical activity on subjects with a moderate metabolic risk profile before and after a 6-weeks randomized lifestyle intervention trial

Purpose. To investigate whether changes in physical activity (PA) have an impact on sedentary behavior (SB) during a lifestyle intervention. Design. Study design was a randomized trial. Setting/Subjects. Participants (n = 204) were individuals with low PA and high sedentary leisure screen time from the Chicago area. Intervention. Participants were randomized to either increase PA (iPA) or decrease sedentary leisure (dSED). The intervention consisted of decision support, coaching, and financial incentives. For iPA participants, the goal was at least 60 min/d of self-reported moderate-tovigorous-intensity PA (MVPA). For dSED participants the goal was less than 90 min/d of sedentary leisure screen time. Measures. Daily accelerometer-based measures of SB and bout-corrected MVPA were obtained. Analysis. Linear mixed-effects models were fit to estimate the effect of the intervention on MVPA and total SB and to estimate the effect of daily changes in MVPA on daily SB. Results. The iPA participants increased their bout-corrected MVPA by 14 min/d (p < .001) and decreased their total SB by 18 min/d (p < .001). The dSED participants did not significantly change their PA or their total SB. On days when participants exercised, each 10-minute bout of MVPA was associated with a 6-minute decrease in SB on the same day (p < .001). Conclusion. In an intervention study designed to increase MVPA, participants who increase their time spent exercising will obtain much of this time by reducing their SB.

Introduction: Childhood obesity is a multifactorial pathology that increases the risk of diabetes, hypertension and coronary artery disease in adolescent period. Initiation of lifestyle modification at younger age plays a major role in preventing morbidity and mortality at a younger age. Aim: To examine the effect of a multidisciplinary lifestyle intervention program executed with the support of parents and teachers to treat overweight/obese in school going adolescents. Materials and Methods: A longitudinal study was carried out for a period of 12 months on a population of 193 children of age group between 10-17 years. Initially adolescents were classified into overweight/obese based on Body Mass Index (BMI). Individual adolescents were counseled regarding diet, lifestyle changes, physical activity and school based activity; while they were suggested to maintain a diary. Once in two months, they were assessed by reviewing their diaries. Once in four months parents along with students was assessed regarding diet, life style changes, physical activity and school based activity. BMI of the adolescents was measured before and after intervention. Paired t-test was used to analyse the significance of the outcome based on BMI of the children measured before and after the intervention. Results: Mean age of the population was 13.7±4.3 years. Males were predominant 109 (56.5%) compared to females 84 (43.5%). In females, BMI reduced from 26.104 to 25.235 (p=0.0001) while in males BMI reduced from 25.677 to 24.904 (p=0.0002). BMI in the whole population marginally reduced from 25.863±3.644 to 25.048±3.50 after intervention. The overall reduction of BMI in males (0.77) and females (0.87) was statistically significant (p=0.0004) with greater difference in females. Conclusion: Multidisciplinary intervention approach with family members and school teachers is effective to manage weight reduction by maintaining a healthy nutritional status with beneficial physical activity in obese and overweight school going adolescents.

Motivation For Change

Objective.Lifestyle modification programs are different but typically include both nutritional aspects and physical activity as main domains with different behavioral and/or psychological strategies designed to affect change. A fundamental role in modifying unhealthy habits is played by personal motivation for change. The present study sought to investigate, in a group of 100 overweight/obese outpatients with and/or without TMD2, treatment seeking, the effect of an intensive lifestyle program on medical measures and motivational profile for physical activity (PA) and healthy nutrition (NUTR).Method.Subjects participated in an intensive multidisciplinary lifestyle intervention at C.U.R.I.A.MO. Before and after the intervention, patients received a comprehensive evaluation of their clinical, anthropometric, and metabolic states and motivation to lifestyle changes.Results.Data showed differences before and after intervention in both medical and motivational measures. Before the intervention patients reported to be ready, open, and determined to change and gave importance to healthy habits. After the intervention patients continued to be determined but increased the actions toward the change showing a higher degree of maintenance and of acquisition of habits especially in the physical domain of the new lifestyle.Conclusion.Data support the notion that the motivation should be followed during all the lifestyle interventions to support the change on both domains of the lifestyle program.
