Abstract Introduction Short sleep duration and poor sleep quality have each been associated with obesity and weight gain. However, less is known regarding how sleep may impact attempted weight loss. The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations between sleep duration and sleep quality, both independently and in combination, with weight loss in a 12-month behavioral weight loss intervention. Methods Young to middle-aged adults who were overweight or obese (N=296) completed a 12-month behavioral weight loss intervention, with weight assessed at baseline, 6 and 12 months. Sleep duration and quality were derived from the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Analyses examined the change in sleep over time and the association between baseline sleep and changes in sleep with 6- and 12-month weight loss following adjustment for relevant covariates including age, gender, race, education, baseline body mass index, and baseline risk for sleep apnea. Results Participants (with an average baseline weight of 97.0±1.0 kg) lost 6.6±1.1 kg (6.8%) and 6.7±1.2 kg (6.9%) at 6 and 12 months relative to baseline, respectively. Global sleep quality significantly improved over the 12-month intervention (P=.03), but average sleep duration and the prevalence of short sleep duration (<6 h) or poor sleep quality did not change significantly (each P≥.45). Adults with short sleep duration at baseline lost 3.3±0.9% less weight than those with ≥6 h sleep duration (P<.001). Adults with poor sleep quality at baseline lost 1.6±0.8% less weight than those with good sleep quality (P=.04). When considered together, adults with both short sleep duration and poor sleep quality lost at least 5.0% less weight compared with all other sleep duration/quality group combinations (P<.001). Conclusion Our findings highlight the importance of both sleep duration and sleep quality as predictors of behavioral weight loss and suggest that screening for sleep disturbance may be useful to determine who may benefit from additional counseling and resources.

Introduction: Obesity is a primary risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and weight loss is a common recommendation for adults with OSA. However, we previously found that adults with OSA lost less weight than those without OSA during a 12-month behavioral weight loss intervention. The potential mechanisms underlying the blunted weight loss among those with OSA are currently unclear; however, one potential explanation may be lower adherence to the intervention and its prescribed behaviors. Purpose: These analyses examined whether measures of adherence to a behavioral weight loss intervention differed between adults with and without OSA. Methods: The sample was comprised of adults who were overweight or obese (N=114; 50.4±10.5 y, body mass index [BMI]: 34.0±4.6 kg/m 2 ; 90.4% female, 82.5% white) who participated in a 12-mo behavioral weight loss intervention study. Participants wore a home sleep testing device (ResMed ApneaLink Plus) for one night at baseline (BL), 6 mo (6M), and 12 mo (12M). Those with an apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 5 were categorized as having OSA. Adherence to the intervention was assessed by: 1) attendance at group intervention sessions over 12 mo; 2) frequency of meeting daily caloric intake goals over 12 mo; 3) objectively-measured changes from BL in physical activity (steps/day, sedentary time, moderate-vigorous physical activity [MVPA]). Linear mixed models estimated the impact of OSA on these measures of intervention adherence following adjustment for sex, age, race, marital status, smoking status, and baseline BMI, while considering participant to be a random effect. Results: About half (52%) of the participants had OSA at BL, while 41 % had OSA at 6M. Attendance at group sessions did not differ between those with and without OSA over 12 mo (74.5 vs. 75.7%; P=.72). However, adults with OSA met their caloric intake goal less frequently than those without OSA (25.2 vs. 34.8%; P=.006), and adults with OSA increased their steps/day (+378.3 vs. 1060.1; P=.047) and MVPA min/day (+2.1 vs. +6.4; P=.056) less than those without OSA. Reductions in sedentary behavior (min/day) did not differ between those with and without OSA (-7.1 vs. -9.1; P=.81). Conclusions: These data suggest that the blunted weight loss observed among adults with OSA may be at least partially attributable to lower levels of adherence to prescribed goals for caloric intake and physical activity. Additional strategies (e.g., OSA screening and treatment referral, supplemental sessions on diet and MVPA) may be needed to achieve improved adherence to the lifestyle behaviors that lead to weight loss among adults with OSA.

Abstract Objectives Successful weight loss interventions often require a multipronged approach. The need for interventions that incorporate both physical activity and dietary methodologies is apparent. The present study aimed to assess whether there were differential effects on dietary change within the context of a behavioral weight loss intervention that included different doses of physical activity. Methods Participants (N = 383; Age = 44.7 ± 8.2 years, BMI = 32.4 ± 3.8 kg/m2) were randomized to a reduced calorie diet (DIET, N = 127), diet plus a moderate dose of physical activity (MOD-EX, N = 129), or diet plus a high dose of physical activity (HIGH-EX, N = 127). All groups received weekly in-person intervention sessions for months 1–6, with combined in-person and telephonic sessions for months 7–12. Diet was prescribed at 1200–1800 kcal/day. MOD-EX was prescribed physical activity that progressed to 150 min/wk and HIGH-EX progressed to 250 min/wk. Physical activity, weight, and dietary intake were assessed. Dietary intake was assessed using the DHQII questionnaire. Results Retention at 12 months was 86.6% in DIET, 80.6% in MOD-EX, and 83.5% in HIGH-EX. Physical activity at 0 and 12 months was 65.4 ± 73.8 and 88.2 ± 104.3 min/wk in DIET; 68.7 ± 93.8 and 179.1 ± 125.3 min/wk in MOD-EX; and 71.5 ± 84.4 and 228.8 ± 148.3 min/wk in HIGH-EX (Group X Time P < 0.001). Weight decreased at 12 months (DIET: −9.9 ± 8.3 kg, MOD-EX: −10.8 ± 8.2 kg, HIGH-EX: −9.5 ± 7.3 kg) (P < 0.001), with no difference between groups. Energy intake decreased from baseline in all groups (6 mo: −495 ± 25.8 kcal/day, 12 mo: −502 ± 25.0 kcal/day) (P < 0.001). Percent dietary fat intake decreased (6 mo: −5.0 ± 0.4%, 12 mo: −3.8 ± 0.4%) (P < 0.001), whereas there was a non-significant increase in % carbohydrate intake (6 mo: 3.5 ± 0.4%, 12 mo: 3.0 ± 0.5%) and % protein intake (6 mo: 1.3 ± 0.2%, 12 mo: 1.0 ± 0.2%), with no difference between groups. Conclusions Weight loss was observed in all the interventions and physical activity did not enhance the weight loss that was observed. Also, the changes in diet that included reducing calories and fat intake were not impacted by the addition of physical activity. These findings have implications for interventions for weight loss in adults with obesity. Funding Sources National Institutes of Health.
