Journal of the American Dietetic Association

|May 1, 1976

Summary

A nutrition program combining behavior and diet therapy helped students lose weight, averaging 2/3 lb weekly. Further improvements are needed to increase goal achievement rates for college student weight reduction.

Area of Science:

Nutrition Science
Behavioral Therapy
Diet Therapy

Background:

Student weight management is a significant public health concern.
University-based programs can offer structured support for weight reduction.
Previous interventions may not fully address the needs of college students.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the effectiveness of a twelve-week weight-reducing program for university students.
To assess the impact of combined behavior therapy and diet therapy on student weight loss.
To identify factors influencing program completion and goal achievement.

Main Methods:

A twelve-week weight-reducing program was implemented at the University of Kentucky.
The program integrated behavior therapy and diet therapy principles.

Related Experiment Videos

Program outcomes included weight loss, dropout rates, and goal attainment.

Main Results:

All students who completed the program achieved some degree of weight reduction.
Average weekly weight loss was 2/3 lb per participant.
The program experienced a 40% dropout rate, with one-third of completers reaching their weight-reduction goals.

Conclusions:

The combined behavior and diet therapy approach shows potential for student weight reduction.
Strategies to improve adherence and reduce dropout rates are necessary for greater success.
Further research should focus on optimizing weight-management interventions for college populations.
