Abstract

We compared weight loss and changes in healthcare utilization, physical activity, and physical and mental components of health-related quality of life (HRQoL, RAND-36) in a 12-month digital program before and during COVID-19. Participants (n = 116/cohort) were age-, sex-, BMI-matched. The sample was predominantly female (86.2 %), median age 53 years, BMI 38.5 kg/m². Both groups achieved significant 12-month weight loss (pre-COVID: 5.1 % [SE 0.6 %]; COVID: 4.7 % [SE 0.6 %]) with no significant differences. Reduced healthcare visits, increased physical activity, and improved physical HRQoL occurred in both groups. The program was equally effective in both eras for weight loss, healthcare use, physical activity, and physical HRQoL.

COVID-19大流行对数字健康体重指导计划中减肥的影响。

我们在COVID-19之前和期间的12个月数字计划中比较了体重减轻和医疗保健利用、体力活动以及健康相关生活质量（HRQoL, RAND-36）的身心组成部分的变化。参与者（n = 116/队列）年龄、性别、bmi相匹配。样本以女性为主（86.2 %），中位年龄53岁，BMI 38.5 kg/m2。两组在12个月期间均实现了显著的体重减轻(pre-COVID: 5.1% % [SE: 0.6 %]；COVID: 4.7 % [SE 0.6 %])，差异无统计学意义。两组患者就诊次数减少，体力活动增加，身体HRQoL得到改善。该计划在两个时代对减肥、保健使用、身体活动和身体HRQoL都同样有效。

期刊介绍： The aim of Obesity Research & Clinical Practice (ORCP) is to publish high quality clinical and basic research relating to the epidemiology, mechanism, complications and treatment of obesity and the complication of obesity. Studies relating to the Asia Oceania region are particularly welcome, given the increasing burden of obesity in Asia Pacific, compounded by specific regional population-based and genetic issues, and the devastating personal and economic consequences. The journal aims to expose health care practitioners, clinical researchers, basic scientists, epidemiologists, and public health officials in the region to all areas of obesity research and practice. In addition to original research the ORCP publishes reviews, patient reports, short communications, and letters to the editor (including comments on published papers). The proceedings and abstracts of the Annual Meeting of the Asia Oceania Association for the Study of Obesity is published as a supplement each year.
