Supporting women of childbearing age in the prevention and treatment of overweight and obesity: a scoping review of randomized control trials of behavioral interventions

Intervening to change clients’ habits in the course of their everyday occupations could improve health. Habit formation interventions are an emerging area of science, however, and there is a need to better understand the current state of habit intervention research. The objective of this study is to examine the evidence related to habit formation interventions to modify health habits among adults. We performed a scoping review of peer-review articles published since January 1, 2008. The majority of the 18 studies included in the review were randomized control trials using one of two measures to assess habit change. Studies targeted a range of habits. Trial results were mixed but supportive of habit formation approaches. Through habit formation interventions, a range of everyday behaviors can become a habit. Occupational therapy professionals can use data and results generated from this review to inform the development of occupation-based habit formation treatments.

AbstractObjective:To determine the prevalence of obesity and body fat distribution of Moroccan women of childbearing age, using a panel of anthropometric measurements.Design and setting:A cross-sectional survey conducted in 1995 in an agricultural community, El Jadida province of Morocco. Weight, height, waist and hip circumferences and triceps, biceps, subscapular and supra-iliac skinfold thicknesses were measured. Body mass index (BMI), waist/hip ratio (WHR), sum of all and sum of trunk skinfold thicknesses were determined.Subjects:In total, 1269 women aged 15–49 years from urban and rural areas were surveyed.Results:The means of all anthropometric measurements including body fat were higher in urban than in rural women and increased with age. Trunk fat contributed 50% of total fat. Globally, 4.7% of women were underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg m−2), 35.2% were overweight or obese (BMI ≥ 25 kg m−2), 10.1% were obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg m−2) and 16.8% had central obesity (WHR > 0.85). The prevalence of overweight and obesity was higher in the urban than in the rural area. Underweight prevalence decreased with age, whereas that of overweight and obesity increased. All anthropometric parameters adjusted for age increased with the increase of BMI and WHR.Conclusions:Although undernutrition is still prevalent, there is an alarming prevalence of overweight and obesity in Moroccan women of childbearing age. The results indicate a shift in this country from the problem of dietary deficiency to the problem of dietary excess, and alert one to the necessity of establishing an intervention to prevent obesity-related diseases. It is necessary to address which of the anthropometric variables studied here is the best predictor of obesity-related diseases in this population.

BACKGROUND Heart failure is one of the world’s most frequently diagnosed cardiovascular diseases. An important element of heart failure management is cardiac rehabilitation, which aims to improve patients’ recovery, functional capacity, psychosocial well-being, and health-related quality of life. Patients in cardiac rehabilitation may lack sufficient motivation or feel that the rehabilitation process does not meet their individual needs. One solution to these challenges is the use of telerehabilitation. Although telerehabilitation has been available for several years, it is only in recent years that it has been utilized in heart failure studies. Especially within the past five years, we now have several studies focusing on the effectiveness of telerehabilitation for heart failure management, and the studies show varying results. Based on these studies, this paper provides a review and assessment of the general effectiveness of telerehabilitation as applied to heart failure management. OBJECTIVE The aim of this scoping review is to assess the effects of telerehabilitation in the management of heart failure by systematically reviewing the available scientific literature within the period from January 1st 2015 to December 31st 2020. METHODS The literature search was performed using PubMed and EMBASE. After duplicates were removed, 77 articles were screened and reviewed, of which 12 articles were included in this review. As measures of the effectiveness of telerehabilitation, the following outcomes were used: patient’s quality of life, physical capacity, depression/anxiety, and adherence to the intervention. RESULTS In reviewing the effects of telerehabilitation for heart failure patients, it was found that, 4 out of 6 randomized control trials, the single prospective study, and 4 out of 5 reviews reported increased quality of life for patients. For physical capacity, 4 randomized control trials and 3 systematic reviews revealed increased physical capacity. Depression or depressive symptoms was reported as reduced in 1 of the 6 randomized control trials and in 2 of the 5 reviews. Anxiety or anxiety-related symptoms was only reported as reduced in only 1 review. High adherence to the telerehabilitation program was reported in 4 randomized control trials and 4 reviews. It should be mentioned that some of the reviewed articles described the same studies although they used different outcome measures. CONCLUSIONS Telerehabilitation is still a relatively new approach to heart failure patients. It was found that there is a tendency toward improvement in patients’ quality of life and physical capacity. The outcome measures of depression, anxiety and adherence to the intervention were found to be positive. More research is needed to determine more precise and robust effects on the respective outcomes in telerehabilitation.

The rapid growth in the incidence of overweight and obesity among women of childbearing age is posing specific issues related to their pregnancy, thereupon choosing adequate and effective tactics for the prevention of preeclampsia in women with concomitant obesity who are at high risk group for this complication is of undoubted relevance. The aim of this study is to assess the occurrence and characteristic of obstetric and prenatal complications in women with concomitant obesity, who receive therapeutic and prophylactic complex designed to prevent the development of preeclampsia. We studied the course of pregnancy of 255 women, who were divided into 3 groups according to the class of obesity, and then, in turn, were subdivided into subgroups taking into account the presence of preeclampsia and the therapeutic and prophylactic complex course. The high efficiency of the therapeutic and prophylactic complex including L-arginine and diosmin for obese women enables to reduce the manifestations of endothelial dysfunction, the occurrence of preeclampsia and its severe forms; to lower down the occurrence of other complications during the pregnancy (risks of premature birth, placental insufficiency, distress and foetal growth retardation); to avoid perinatal mortality and improve the condition of the foetus. Applying this pathogenetically grounded therapeutic and prophylactic complex we elaborated (acetylsalicylic acid, L-arginine, calcium supplements and semisynthetic diosmin) to prevent the occurrence of preeclampsia in pregnant women with concomitant obesity, who are at high-risk group, promotes the reduction of occurrence and intensity of obstetric and prenatal complications resulted from endothelial dysfunction. We can suggest the therapeutic and prophylactic complex for pregnant women with concomitant obesity as effective therapy because no cases of severe and early preeclampsia have been registered.
