It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Behavioral Science
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Rising global obesity rates present a significant public health challenge.
  • Effective community-based interventions are crucial for weight management.
  • Mobile technology offers a scalable platform for health interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of tailored text messages on body weight change in overweight and obese adults.
  • To evaluate behavioral modifications, including eating habits and physical activity, in response to text message interventions.
  • To explore participants' attitudes towards mobile technology and its role in health management.

Main Methods:

  • Quasi-experimental design with pretest and posttest analysis over 12 weeks.
  • Inclusion of 28 overweight and obese adults in a community-based weight management program.
  • Biweekly tailored text message intervention for one group; control group received no messages.
  • Assessment of body weight, eating behaviors, self-efficacy, physical activity, and technology attitudes.

Main Results:

  • The intervention group achieved statistically significant weight loss compared to the control group after 12 weeks.
  • A positive trend in eating behaviors and self-efficacy was observed in the intervention group, though not statistically significant between groups.
  • 79% of participants reported that text messages facilitated the adoption of healthier behaviors.
  • No significant differences were found between groups regarding exercise and nutrition self-efficacy.

Conclusions:

  • Tailored text messages can be an effective tool for enhancing weight loss within community-based weight management programs.
  • Mobile health interventions show potential for supporting behavioral changes related to weight management.
  • Further large-scale, long-term studies are warranted to validate these findings and explore broader applicability.
