    Behavior modification programs effectively reduce weight in obese women aged 51-67. Group sessions (10 S programme) showed greater sustained weight loss than mailed lessons (10 L programme).

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Public Health
    • Behavioral Science

    Background:

    • Obesity is a significant health concern, particularly in older women undergoing cancer screening.
    • Behavior modification programs offer a potential strategy for weight management in this demographic.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of two behavior modification programs for weight loss in obese women aged 51-67.
    • To compare the outcomes of a group-based program (10 S programme) with a distance-learning program (10 L programme).

    Main Methods:

    • Two programs were offered: 10 small group sessions (10 S) and 10 mailed lessons (10 L), both with follow-up meetings.
    • Drop-out rates and average weight loss at 3, 17, and 36 months were recorded.
    • Results were compared to obese women not participating in the programs.

    Main Results:

    • The 10 S programme had a lower drop-out rate (12%) compared to the 10 L programme (37%).
    • Sustained weight loss was significantly greater in the 10 S programme (5.2 kg at 3 months, 3.0 kg at 36 months) versus the 10 L programme (3.0 kg at 3 months, 1.6 kg at 36 months).
    • The behavior treatment program showed favorable results compared to controls, though motivation may have influenced outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Group-based behavior modification (10 S programme) is more effective for sustained weight loss in obese older women than a mailed lesson program (10 L programme).
    • The findings support the use of structured, interactive programs for weight management in this population.
    • Further research could explore motivational factors influencing program adherence and success.
