The document discusses a study examining the physiological and behavioral correlates of baseline stages of change in a health program called the Health Plus Challenge for employees of the Polk County School District. The study found that stage of change for weight management was weakly correlated with exercise frequency and total health risk appraisal score. Stage of change for weight management was moderately correlated with other stages of change for diet, exercise, and stress. Biometric measures like BMI and body fat, as well as health risk appraisal scores, were poor predictors of stage of change for weight management.

![Physiological and Behavioral Correlates of Baseline Stages of Change in the Health Plus Challenge Program. Robert C. Lowe, MA Polk County School Board, Winter Haven, Florida The prevalence of both diabetes and cardiovascular disease in our Polk County School District (PCSD) population is higher than the national averages. The health care costs for these employees, retirees, and dependents are substantially higher than for the balance of the insured. The Health Plus Challenge program (HPC) was developed in response to double-digit inflation in health care costs for the (PCSD) employees. A two-year pilot project demonstrated a reduction in the health care costs related to diabetes and cardiovascular disease (Lowe, 2005). Increased body mass index (BMI) may lead to increased risk for both diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Therefore, a primary goal of the HPC program was to decrease the risk for these diseases through reduction in BMI through screenings, counseling, and education. We hypothesized that BMI would be correlated to Stages of Change for Weight Management as well as other physiological and behavioral factors at baseline. Introduction Purpose Methods Biometric and Health Risk Appraisal (HRA) data was collected on 1532 HPC participants (mean age 47 ±12 years and mean BMI of 32 ±6 ). Pearson correlation coefficients were generated for each variable. Multiple regression was utilized to develop the best subset of variables related to the prediction of Stages of Change for Weight Management. Significance was set at the p < 0.05 level. Conclusions These results suggest that no meaningful relationship between BMI and Stage of Change for Weight Management is present in our obese population of PCSB employees. Stage of Change for Weight Management is weakly related to exercise frequency and HRA total score. Stage of Change for Weight Management is, however, moderately related to other Stages of Change for Diet and Nutrition, Exercise, and Stress. Biometric and HRA scores were poor predictors of Stages of Change for Weight Management. Taken together these results suggest that other measures such as one-on-one counseling, risk factor modification education, print and electronic mailings, and PCSB district-wide programs may play an important role in determining body composition. - For further information please contact: Robert Lowe, M.A., FAACVPR [email_address] Results ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],ABCs of Health 1348 1348 1348 1171 1307 1304 1348 N 0.00 0.05 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 p (2-tailed) -0.17 -0.05 0.19 0.55 0.69 0.76 0.24 Pearson Correlation Stage of Change - Weight Management Body Fat BMI HRA total score Stage of Change - Stress Stage of Change - Exercise Stage of Change - Diet & Nutrition Exercise Frequency per week Table 1](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/naaso-october-2006-1227742302138566-9/85/NAASO-October-2006-1-320.jpg)

NAASO 2006 Abstract
This document summarizes a study examining the physiological and behavioral correlates of baseline stages of change in the Health Plus Challenge program. The study found that among 1532 program participants with a mean age of 47 and BMI of 32, stage of change for weight management had only a moderate correlation with exercise levels. All other factors, including BMI, failed to reach a reasonable level of correlation with stage of change. This suggests that factors other than stage of change need to be considered to explain the observed reduction in body mass in this population.

The document summarizes a study that examined fatigue as a mediator between exercise and quality of life for breast cancer survivors. The study found that fatigue partially mediated the relationship between exercise and physical quality of life, but not mental quality of life. This suggests that regular exercise may improve physical quality of life for breast cancer patients by decreasing fatigue.

This study examined the relationship between the number of years since completing a cardiac rehabilitation program and the frequency of vigorous aerobic exercise in 731 former patients. The results showed that a greater number of years since completing the program significantly predicted a higher frequency of weekly exercise. Specifically, patients who had completed the program 8 years ago exercised significantly more frequently per week than those who had completed it 1 year ago. However, the average amount and intensity of exercise was still below recommended levels to reverse coronary artery disease. More research is needed to develop interventions to further increase physical activity after cardiac rehabilitation.
A Modified Healthy Eatiing Index 11.17.08
The study examined the relationship between HEI-2005 scores and weight status in 856 children ages 6-21. Three 24-hour dietary recalls, anthropometric data, and physical activity levels were collected. No relationship was found between overall HEI-2005 scores and BMI z-scores. However, higher scores on the whole grain component and lower scores on the meat/beans component were significantly correlated with lower BMI z-scores. There was also a marginally significant interaction between race and the meat/beans component score on BMI z-scores.
Obesity
This document discusses obesity, including its definitions, classifications, prevalence, physiology, and management. It provides guidelines for clinicians on their role in weight loss, including counseling strategies to promote behavior change. New guidelines for obesity management are presented, along with selecting appropriate medications based on a patient's comorbidities. Surgical and non-surgical procedures for obesity are outlined, along with expected weight loss and vitamin deficiencies. The role of nutrition, physical activity, behavior therapy, and medical therapy in obesity treatment is also examined.
Exercise or exercise and diet for preventing type 2 dm
This Cochrane review summarizes evidence from eight randomized controlled trials that examined the effects of exercise alone or exercise combined with diet interventions on preventing type 2 diabetes in high-risk groups. The trials involved over 4,000 participants and lasted from one to six years. The review found that interventions combining exercise and diet reduced the relative risk of developing diabetes by 37% compared to standard recommendations. These interventions also had beneficial effects on weight, waist circumference, and blood pressure. However, more evidence is needed on the effects of exercise alone and on outcomes like diabetes-related morbidity, mortality, and quality of life.

This study examined the relationship between taster status, food environment, and BMI. The researchers hypothesized that supertasters would have lower BMIs than non-tasters, and that food environment is another factor influencing BMI. Forty-one participants completed surveys on taster status, food environment, and had their BMI measured. A 2x3 ANOVA found no significant effects of taster status, environment, or their interaction on BMI. The researchers concluded that taster status and environment did not significantly impact BMI in this study. They suggested improvements such as using different measurement tools.

1) The document explores the relationship between energy balance and weight status in adolescents using data from the CDC's Youth Risk Behavior Survey.
2) An energy balance composite score was created from survey items related to energy intake (food and drink) and energy expenditure (physical activity and sedentary behavior).
3) Results found the energy balance composite and energy expenditure scores varied significantly based on weight category, with healthier weight adolescents having lower energy intake, higher energy expenditure, and lower composite scores.
4) Racial/ethnic differences were also observed in energy balance scores, with weight category more strongly associated with scores across ethnic groups.

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is still rising and has reached epidemic proportions in most countries.
The importance of medical nutrition therapy (MNT) is recognized as one of the cornerstones in the treatment of T2DM.
Most guidelines recommend eating a diet with a high intake of fiber-rich food including fruit as it has many positive effects on human health.

The document discusses the emerging role of diet coaching in obesity treatment and weight management. It notes that while dietitians receive training in nutrition science, they often lack skills in behavior change and coaching needed to help clients maintain long-term weight loss and lifestyle changes. The document argues that dietitians should receive additional training in techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy, neuro-linguistic programming, and health coaching in order to more effectively promote sustainable behavior change and wellness among clients.

This study aimed to determine if pre-class ingestion of an energy bar with moderate glycemic index (MGI) impacted blood glucose levels and affect in dancers compared to fasting. 11 dancers completed a crossover trial where they consumed either the MGI bar or fasted before class. Blood glucose and feelings of pleasure were measured at baseline and 30 and 60 minutes into class. Results showed that fasting led to a larger rise and fall in blood glucose during class compared to consuming the MGI bar. Feelings of pleasure were higher when fasting compared to the MGI bar. The study highlights the importance of assessing both physiological and psychological parameters in dancers.

This study investigated the relationship between subjective and objective exertion in minority obese youth. The results showed that 55% of adolescents stopped the fitness test due to their perceived exertion, while 17% stopped due to reaching their maximum heart rate. There was a weak relationship found between perceived and actual exertion. Higher body fat percentage was found to affect this relationship, with higher-fat adolescents more accurately perceiving exertion levels based on heart rate. The study concluded that adolescents need better training to accurately identify exercise intensity in order to meet physical activity guidelines.

- Exercise is associated with improved physical and mental health, academic attainment, and cognitive performance in children.
- Fitness, in particular aerobic fitness, is correlated with higher scores on math and reading tests.
- Mechanisms for this relationship include biological and psychological benefits of exercise like improved self-esteem and self-efficacy.
- Increasing PE curriculum time to 75 minutes per day does not negatively impact academic achievement and may help children learn better by making them fitter.

1. The study analyzed weight gain data from ages 18 to 22 for young adults in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997.
2. College graduates gained an average of 1.6 kg/m2 (11 lbs) while non-college graduates gained 1.9 kg/m2 (13 lbs) on average.
3. College graduation was associated with 0.34 kg/m2 less weight gain (2 lbs less) compared to non-college graduates.Dr Julie Broderick , Department of Physiotherapy Trinity College Dublin
The document discusses exercise in cancer survivorship. It summarizes evidence that physical activity levels influence recurrence and survival rates, with the most active cancer survivors having a 30-40% reduced risk of recurrence compared to the least active. For benefits, at least 3 hours per week of moderate or vigorous physical activity is recommended. An exercise group study found 82.7% 8-year disease-free survival compared to 75.6% for a control group. Physical activity may also influence cancer treatment decisions and completion rates by affecting a person's overall health and physical condition. The optimal physical activity prescription for cancer survivors is to avoid inactivity, return to normal activities as soon as possible, follow guidelines for 150 minutes of moderate or vigorous exercise per

Regular exercise is associated with a reduced risk of dementia. A 30-year study found those participating in moderate exercise 2-4 times per week had a 60% lower risk of dementia. While observational studies link exercise to lower dementia rates, intervention trials results have been mixed as to whether exercise can directly reduce cognitive decline. More research is still needed to determine the optimal intensity and duration of exercise for maintaining cognitive health in older adults. Public awareness of exercise's role in reducing dementia risk is currently poor.
Orientation Toward Food Planning Matters KB SDT
This study investigated the role of approach and avoidance food planning as mediators between motivational orientations (self-determined motivation and non-self-determined motivation) and healthy and unhealthy eating behaviors. 290 female undergraduate students completed questionnaires assessing their motivations, food planning approaches, and diet. Structural equation modeling found that approach food planning mediated the relationship between self-determined motivation and healthy eating, while avoidance food planning mediated the relationship between non-self-determined motivation and unhealthy eating. The results supported the hypotheses and past research, providing further evidence that different food planning orientations link motivational styles to eating behaviors.
Nutritional Assessment Project
1) The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) is a screening tool developed to identify malnutrition in elderly aged 65+. It consists of 18 questions that assess anthropometric, dietary, and health factors.
2) Validation studies in the 1990s involving over 600 subjects found the MNA to have 96% sensitivity and 98% specificity in detecting malnutrition. It could classify nutritional status without invasive tests.
3) More recent studies have also found the MNA to be effective at predicting health outcomes like mortality and infection risk. However, some studies found other tools may better predict certain outcomes.

This study examined the association between physical activity, physical function, and risk of falls over six years among older Mexican Americans. The researchers found that those with high physical activity but low physical function had a lower risk of falls, but the risk increased over time. Those with high levels of both physical activity and function also had a lower initial risk, but it increased over time as well. The study concludes that interventions for older adults should focus on improving physical function rather than just overall activity to help prevent falls.

This study investigated the determinants of physical activity in ovarian cancer survivors through a survey of 359 survivors in Alberta, Canada. 31.1% of survivors met physical activity guidelines. Younger age, higher education/income, employment, lower BMI, longer time since diagnosis, earlier disease stage and being disease-free were associated with meeting guidelines. Intention was the strongest correlate of physical activity and was influenced by attitude and perceived behavioral control. Improving health and weight control were key motivators for activity, while lack of time and motivation were barriers.

This document summarizes research on promoting physical activity. It finds that:
1) Simply communicating health risks is not effective at changing behavior, but combining risk information with strategies to improve self-efficacy and response efficacy can have larger effects.
2) Brief interventions that focus on goal setting, action planning, and overcoming barriers can successfully increase walking levels.
3) Techniques shown to improve both self-efficacy and physical activity include action planning, reinforcing progress, instruction, and graded tasks.
4) Older adults want physical activity experiences that are enjoyable, social, and allow improvements in function at their own pace without pressure. Satisfaction and self-efficacy predict long-term

This document discusses myths, presumptions, and facts about obesity. It begins with an introduction explaining how unsupported beliefs can lead to ineffective policies. It then outlines several myths about obesity that have been refuted by evidence, such as the myth that small sustained lifestyle changes lead to large long-term weight loss. It also discusses some presumptions about obesity for which the evidence is unclear or inconclusive, such as the presumption that regularly eating breakfast is protective against obesity. Finally, it outlines several facts about obesity that are supported by sufficient evidence.
Diet and Exercise Research Paper 2 PC corrected
This meta-analysis reviewed 7 randomized controlled trials examining the effects of diet, exercise, and mixed interventions on obesity measures in children. The studies included a total of 1,530 children who were approximately 55% overweight or obese at baseline. The analysis found no statistically significant effects of any intervention type on BMI, BMI z-score, or weight compared to controls. There was significant heterogeneity between the studies. While the results did not support the efficacy of these interventions, dietary interventions favored weight gain while exercise and mixed interventions favored weight loss, though insignificantly. Additional high-quality research is still needed to determine effective obesity interventions for children.
Physical activity recognition using a wearbale accelerometer
This document discusses the health benefits of physical activity and methods for measuring physical activity using wearable accelerometers. It finds that a physically active lifestyle reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes by increasing energy expenditure. Wearable accelerometers can accurately measure physical activity, recognize different activity types, and estimate energy expenditure. Studies show replacing sitting time with cycling or active standing can improve health outcomes like heart rate variability and insulin levels.

Deconstruction of Opening Scequence of Devil
The trailer for the film Devil begins with the words "ON AN ORDINARY DAY" displayed upside down, creating a sense of disorientation. It then introduces the first character, a woman walking into a building who appears to work in an office based on her appearance and signing in with security, suggesting she is middle class. When she touches the security guard's arm, it implies she knows him well enough to have physical contact.
Costumes
The costume for the character Jacob in the music video was designed to look like modern, high-street clothes typical of a middle-class student. It consists primarily of blue items like jeans and a jumper to match the water and rain themes in the video, despite the song being called "Summer Song". The grey jumper breaks up the blue colors and fits current fashion trends. Jeans were also included because they are universally recognizable as common high-street clothing.

The role of exercise and physical activity in weight loss and mainting
This document discusses the role of exercise and physical activity in weight loss and maintenance. It finds that:
1) Unless overall exercise volume is very high, clinically significant weight loss is unlikely from exercise alone and will be highly variable between individuals.
2) Exercise has an important role in preventing weight regain after initial weight loss. Aerobic exercise consistent with public health guidelines may result in modest average weight loss of around 2 kg.
3) Clinicians should educate patients on reasonable weight loss expectations based on their physical activity program and emphasize the many health benefits of exercise regardless of weight loss.
NAASO 2007 Abstract 2
The document describes a study that compared the effectiveness of a novel in-house intensive weight loss program (LOSE PLUS) to a commercial weight loss program (LOSE Too) for class III obese school employees. Eighty participants were randomly assigned to one of the two programs. Both programs included goal setting and weekly sessions for 6 months, with the option of weight loss medications after 16 weeks. While the dropout rate was higher for LOSE Too, both programs produced similar weight loss outcomes at 6 months. However, both programs were effective at reducing risks for diabetes and heart disease. The results suggest that behavioral intervention programs can effectively produce short-term weight loss for those who are severely obese. Further long-term study is recommended.
Welch Final Poster
This study examined how weight loss affects resting metabolic rate and its relationship to lean muscle mass and fitness levels in obese adults. Obese men and women were placed on a very low calorie diet and exercise program to lose 15% of their body weight over 3 months. Their resting metabolic rate, body composition via DXA scan, and fitness via VO2 max test were measured at baseline and after weight loss. The results found that resting metabolic rate, lean mass, and fitness all decreased with weight loss. While resting metabolic rate was positively correlated with lean mass at both timepoints, the changes in each were not correlated, suggesting other factors also influence changes in resting metabolic rate with weight loss.
Relationship of body mass index, fat and visceral fat among adolescents
In the present study the researcher studied out the correlation of Body mass index, Fat and visceral fat
among adolescents. Data was statically analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson Product Multi
Correlation Coefficient was used (PPMCC). It was find out that body mass index was significantly
correlated with fat and visceral fat and on the other hand fat was also significantly correlated with
visceral fat among adolescents.
Menezes, 2012 - An Optimal Method for Measuring Body Fat in Overweight Indivi...
This study compared two methods for measuring body fat percentage in overweight individuals - skinfold thickness (SF) and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). 85 overweight or obese adults and elderly patients were evaluated. The percentage of body fat estimated by SF was significantly higher than BIA, but a moderate correlation and strong concordance was observed between the two methods. Both SF and BIA showed significant correlations with BMI and waist circumference, but BIA had stronger correlations. The study concluded that while the methods produced different estimates, they provided similar classifications of individuals. BIA also had better correlation with anthropometric indicators, suggesting it may be a preferable method for measuring body fat in clinical practice.
Lipid_Profile_Changes_in_the_Severly_Obese_After_Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
This study examined changes in lipid profiles in severely obese patients up to 5 years after undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). The study found that while average lipid levels were within normal ranges before surgery, 77% of patients had at least one abnormal lipid level. At 1 year post-surgery, triglycerides decreased and HDL increased significantly. At 3 years, HDL levels remained significantly higher than baseline levels. Weight loss correlated with decreases in LDL at 3 years and triglycerides at 5 years. However, the percentage of patients with dyslipidemia or taking medication for it did not significantly change over the 5-year period.
PHSU practicum poster
This study assessed the impact of a care coordination program called livingwell CARES (LWC) on health outcomes for diabetic patients. Key findings include:
1) Patients in the LWC program experienced decreases over time in blood pressure, body mass index, LDL cholesterol, and HbA1c levels compared to the control group, indicating improved health.
2) There was a statistically significant difference in reduced diastolic blood pressure between the LWC and control groups.
3) Patients reported high satisfaction rates with the LWC program and its positive impact on their health.
metrics_game_paper
This document summarizes a study that aims to improve an existing econometric model for estimating the causal impact of obesity on medical costs. The authors successfully replicate the original study's two-part model, which uses the BMI of a respondent's oldest child as an instrumental variable. They then make several modifications, including expanding the sample period, adding control variables for health status and insurance, and investigating potential time heterogeneity. The results suggest that the original study may have overestimated obesity's effect, with the marginal cost of obesity decreasing from $3,297 to $1,956 after controlling for additional health factors.
Community ProblemThe community issue addressed is the high preva.docx
Community Problem
The community issue addressed is the high prevalence rates of obesity and overweight. In this regard, the challenge is comprehensive, owing to categorizing the aspect as a lifestyle condition. Subsequently, other factors, such as nutrition, inadequate physical exercise, and sedentary lives contribute to the issue. The problem is significant, owing to substantial correlations between obesity, overweight, and other comorbidities. The implication is that obesity is a risk factor for other illnesses, including cardiovascular diseases, obesity, cancer, and other issues. In such a case, programs and initiatives implemented to reduce prevalence should be adequate. Accurate evaluation is critical in attaining the best outcomes, including follow-up, adherence, and addressing elements that require a change to meet emerging needs.
Structure
The evaluation structure follows a pre-and post-intervention approach. In this regard, the emphasis is on the initiatives and their ability to meet the set goals. According to the CDC (2016), obesity evaluation measures often employ baseline data to compare progress at the post-implementation phase. In this regard, the structure entails collecting baseline data of the metrics, such as BMI, waistline, and weight, among other anthropometric factors. After the intervention, such as a community education program sensitizing users on the risk factors associated with obesity and overweight, the evaluation will compare the baseline measures to assess any progress. To illustrate, evaluating how the BMI changed after a participant implements recommended steps will help determine efficacy. As a result, the suggested structure focuses on a pre-and post-intervention approach.
Process
The evaluation process will be goal-based. Subsequently, the procedure will focus on specific objectives determined by the set metrics. According to Seral-Cortes et al. (2021), an effective evaluation process should emphasize knowing the goals and project outcomes, testing them against set results. Additionally, precise objectives and measurable data are also vital in promoting an effective process of assessment. Other components or steps incorporate using a logic model to describe the intervention or program, formulating the project's acceptability criteria, and developing required questions. In the proposed process, a goal-based method will apply. Subsequently, post-intervention, goals will be formulated or indicators of success, such as reducing the prevalence levels by 25% in the first three months. Behavioral changes, including nutritional awareness assessed by selecting at least three healthy diets after four weeks of community education, will be helpful.
Outcome Standards
The outcomes will focus on behavior and prevalence levels in the long-term from the example of community education and awareness. As described, after three months, disease prevalence at the community level will reduce by 25%. Additionally, behavioral.

The document discusses evaluating a community program aimed at addressing high rates of obesity and overweight. It describes the evaluation structure as using a pre-and post-intervention approach to collect baseline data on metrics like BMI before the program and compare to post-program. The evaluation process will focus on specific, measurable goals set in advance. Outcome standards will focus on reducing prevalence levels, improving behaviors like exercise and nutrition, and decreasing BMI and weight.

Obesity and It’s Mental Effect on Family Members of Obese Patients: A Case Report by Rashmi Jain in Food Science JournalPIIS2212267214015895
This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effectiveness of two community-based weight loss strategies among 207 obese, low-income Latinos in the US over 24 months. The strategies included case management alone or with additional support from community health workers. Both interventions were compared to usual care. At 6 months, those receiving case management plus community health worker support lost more weight on average compared to the other groups. However, by 12 and 24 months the differences between groups narrowed and were no longer statistically significant. Men achieved greater weight loss than women in all groups at each time point. The study demonstrated that community health workers may help promote initial weight loss, especially among men, but not long-term weight maintenance.
Worksite Wellness
This document discusses employer uncertainty regarding implementing worksite wellness programs. While employees spend most of their time at work, making it a sensible place to promote health, many employers are reluctant to establish wellness programs. This reluctance stems from factors like perceived costs, views of obesity as a personal issue, and concerns about recouping investments. However, research shows wellness programs can reduce absenteeism and healthcare costs associated with obesity-related diseases. Both large employers and employees generally support wellness programs more than small employers. Further investigation is still needed to fully understand employer uncertainties around the value of worksite wellness initiatives.
Dietary Strategies for Weight Loss Maintenance
Weight regain after a successful weight loss intervention is very common. Most studies
show that, on average, the weight loss attained during a weight loss intervention period is not
or is not fully maintained during follow-up. We review what is currently known about dietary
strategies for weight loss maintenance, focusing on nutrient composition by means of a systematic
review and meta-analysis of studies and discuss other potential strategies that have not been studied
so far. Twenty-one studies with 2875 participants who were overweight or obese are included in
this systematic review and meta-analysis

WTP-2015-Obesity
1) 95% of participants in a two-year weight loss study were willing to pay for continued lifestyle intervention, with a median monthly amount of $45, similar to commercial programs.
2) Black participants were willing to pay more ($65/month) than non-Black participants. Weight loss success did not impact willingness to pay.
3) The order that payment options were presented influenced willingness to pay amounts, with lower initial options yielding lower reported maximum payments.
Perspectives in Public Health-2011-Lloyd-177-83
This study evaluated a commercial weight loss program commissioned by the NHS in Dorset, UK. The program offered 12 free weekly sessions at Slimming World or Weight Watchers. Of the 2,456 participants referred, almost half (44%) lost over 5% of their initial body weight at 12 weeks. Those who attended more sessions ("completers") lost significantly more weight on average (6.1 kg) than dropouts (2.2 kg). The study found that predictors of successful weight loss (over 5% of initial weight) included being older, male, initially in obese class I, and attending more meetings. The study aimed to identify factors influencing weight loss in commercial programs to inform future commissioning.
Effectiveness of health coaching on diabetic patients:A systematic review and...
Abstract
Background: Using health coaching to improve the quality of life and health outcomes of the patients with
diabetes mellitus, has emerged as a possible intervention. However, the few published randomized controlled trials
using health coaching for patients with diabetes mellitus have reported mixed results. The present meta-analysis
aimed to determine the effectiveness of health coaching on modifying health status and quality of life among
diabetic patients and to clarify the characteristics of coaching delivery that make it most effective. Methods: This
study searched for articles on randomized controlled trials of health coaching interventions targeting type 2 diabetic
patients that were published in the English language from January 2005 through December 2018 in the Cochrane,
Medline, PubMed, Trip, and Embase databases. Patients in the control group received usual diabetes mellitus care,
and those in the experimental group received health coaching based on usual diabetes mellitus care. The primary
outcomes included Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and cardiovascular disease risk factors, including systolic blood
pressure, diastolic blood pressure, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density
lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, and body weight. The secondary outcomes included quality of life,
self-efficacy, self-care skills, and psychological outcomes. Results: Health coaching intervention has a significant
effect on HbA1c [mean difference (MD) = -0.35, confidence interval (CI) = -0.47, -0.22, I2 = 83%, P < 0.001] and
HDL-C (MD = -0.50, CI = -0.93, -0.07, I2 = 10%, P = 0.02). The most effective strategy for health coaching
delivery associated with improvement of HbA1c was decreasing the number of sessions and increasing the duration
of each session. However, no significant difference was found for weight, SBP, diastolic blood pressure,
triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or total cholesterol. Mixed results were reported for the effect of
health coaching on quality of life, self-efficacy, self-care skills, and depressive symptoms outcome. Conclusion:
Health coaching intervention has a significant effect on HbA1c and HDL-C, and the most effective strategy is
decreasing the number of sessions while increasing session duration. However, these results should be interpreted
with caution as the evidence comes from studies at some risk of bias with considerable heterogeneity and
imprecision.
Healthy Food Accessibility and Obesity: Case Study of Pennsylvania, USA
Abstract-Obesity is a continuing challenge for any town, city or country faced with this problem. Being obese increases your risk of physical disorders such as high blood pressure (BP), high blood cholesterol, diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, cancer and poor reproductive health. Higher obesity rates also leads to increased economic burden on society. In order to better understand and control obesity rates the in uence of various factors on its prevalence should be investigated. We used Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) models to analyze spatial relationships using a combination of socio-economic and physical factor for counties in Pennsylvania (PA), USA for 2010. Our ndings suggest that the rate of obesity is impacted by local spatial variation and its prevalence positively correlated with diabetes, physical inactivity and the distance that a person must travel to get to a healthy food store. Additionally, GWR (AICc = 261.59; r-squared = 0.45) was found to signi cantly improve model tting over OLS (AICc = 299.87; r-squared = 0.34). These results indicate that additional factors, including social, cultural and behavioral, are needed to better explain the distribution of obesity rates across PA.
Exercise as an intervention to reduce blood lipids and choloesterol levels
Exercise as an intervention to reduce blood lipids and choloesterol levelsBond University HSM Faculty
This study examined the effects of different exercise programs on blood lipids and cholesterol levels. 111 sedentary subjects with dyslipidemia were randomly assigned to a control group or one of three exercise groups that varied in intensity (high vs moderate) and amount (high vs low) of weekly exercise. The results showed that exercise significantly reduced small LDL particles and increased average LDL size compared to the control group. The high amount, high intensity group showed the most significant improvement in HDL cholesterol concentration. Overall, the study found that a higher amount of exercise was more beneficial than a lower amount or no exercise for improving lipid profile, though the optimal intensity remains unclear.Similar to NAASO October 2006 (20)

AHA NPAM EPI 2009 Abstract
A comprehensive wellness program was provided to school employees over two years that included health screenings, counseling, and educational interventions. Screenings of over 1,700 employees found improvements in cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides, and glucose levels after two screenings. The program cost $1.3 million but resulted in $2.3-3.1 million in healthcare cost savings, providing a return on investment of $1.72-$2.31 for every dollar spent. The results suggest such wellness programs can lower disease risk for employees while being cost effective.
AHA NPAM EPI 2007 Abstract
The study explored the relationship between metabolic syndrome risk factors, the Framingham Risk Score (FRS), and 10-year coronary heart disease risk (CHDR) in 73 extremely obese individuals. Triglycerides best predicted FRS, but the model fit was poor. A model including HDL, triglycerides, and waist circumference best predicted CHDR, accounting for slightly over half the variance. However, neither model was able to fully explain the variance, suggesting metabolic syndrome variables alone are not sufficient to accurately predict 10-year risk of myocardial infarction or coronary heart disease.
AACVPR 2002
The document presents a study that compares the accuracy of common clinical treadmill and arm ergometry equations in estimating oxygen consumption for males with coronary artery disease. Fifteen males with coronary artery disease underwent graded exercise tests on a treadmill and arm ergometer. Their measured oxygen consumption was compared to estimated values derived from popular estimation equations. The study found that the Bruce Cardiac Max equation provided the most accurate estimation of maximal oxygen consumption during treadmill exercise, while other equations over- or underestimated values.
NAASO October 2003
The study examined the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and coronary revascularization (CR) in 86 post-cardiac rehabilitation patients over 3.8 years on average. Discriminant function analysis revealed that only time since rehabilitation and diastolic blood pressure significantly predicted whether patients received CR, but not BMI, total cholesterol, or systolic blood pressure. The results suggest BMI may not be an important factor in predicting if post-cardiac rehab patients receive further CR procedures.
NAASO 2005 Power Point
This study conducted a two-year intervention program aimed at reducing risk factors for diabetes and cardiovascular disease among employees. It found favorable shifts in biometrics after two years for most modifiable risk factors. The pilot group had average yearly health claims costs that were $613 and $498 lower than other employees, translating to savings of over $1 million each year. The results suggest the targeted intervention programs were effective at reaching goals of reducing risk factors and healthcare costs.
NAASO 2007 Abstract 1
This study compared two equations, the Mifflin-St. Jeor (MSJ) equation and the de Luis equation, for predicting resting energy expenditure (REE) in class III obese individuals against measurements from indirect calorimetry. The study found that while both equations were correlated with measured REE, only the MSJ equation was significantly different. The de Luis equation may therefore be more accurate for predicting REE in class III obese individuals when indirect calorimetry is not available. The study measured height, weight, and waist circumference in 40 class III obese subjects to calculate predicted REE using the two equations and compare to REE measured via indirect calorimetry.
ACSM 2005
This study examined the effects of low and high intensity endurance exercise training on the apolipoprotein-B/apolipoprotein-A1 ratio in 26 hypercholesterolemic men over 24 weeks. The men were randomly assigned to either high intensity (80% maximal oxygen uptake) or moderate intensity (50% maximal oxygen uptake) exercise training three days per week. The apolipoprotein-B/apolipoprotein-A1 ratio did not significantly change from baseline in either group over the 24 weeks. While exercise training did not alter this risk ratio, the ratios for both groups exceeded the recommended level of 0.5 or less, suggesting an elevated risk of myocardial infarction.
AACVPR 2002 Presentation
1) The study examined the validity of an equation to predict VO2 max using self-reported exercise frequency for elderly cardiac patients by comparing it to three other VO2 max prediction equations.
2) The results found the predicted VO2 max was similar to two equations but significantly overestimated VO2 max compared to the most accurate equation for cardiac patients.
3) Due to the overestimation and issues with self-reported exercise frequency, the validity of using the prediction equation in elderly cardiac patients requires further study.
AACVPR 2002
Twenty-four elderly cardiac patients were asked about their weekly vigorous exercise to predict maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) using an equation from Ainsworth et al. This predicted VO2max was compared to values from three other equations from Milani et al. No differences in males and females were found. The predicted VO2max and values from two equations overestimated VO2max compared to the most accurate equation for cardiac patients from Milani et al. This suggests the validity of using the Ainsworth equation to predict VO2max in elderly cardiac patients requires further study due to potential overestimation compared to measured values.
AACVPR 2006
This study examined waist-to-tallness ratio (WTR) as a marker for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in 887 adults. The results found that both male and female WTR met or exceeded proposed cut-off points suggesting increased CVD risk, despite waist circumference being below thresholds. Males had higher BMI, blood pressure, and WTR than females. Additionally, WTR alone may not adequately predict overall CVD risk, and gender differences should be considered in primary prevention programs to reduce CVD risk.
AACVPR 2006
This study examined waist-to-tallness ratio (WTR) as a marker for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in 887 adults. Both males and females were found to have increased CVD risk based on previous WTR cut-off points, despite waist circumference being below current cut-offs. Male WTR was greater than the cut-off point and associated with higher BMI, blood pressure, whereas female WTR equaled the cut-off point. The results suggest WTR alone may not adequately predict overall CVD risk and that gender differences should be considered in prevention strategies.
AACVPR 2000
The document summarizes a study that examined changes in physical activity levels following an intensive cardiac risk intervention program. The study found that (1) physical activity, moderate activity, and high intensity activity all increased significantly after the 12-week program, but (2) began declining again by the 6-month and 1-year follow-ups, with high intensity activity declining more rapidly than moderate activity. (3) The results suggest it is important for exercise prescriptions for cardiac patients to consider the type of physical activity, whether high or moderate intensity, to help maintain compliance long-term.
