Quality of Life and Mental Health in Older Adults with Obesity and Frailty: Associations with a Weight Loss Intervention.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:To examine the bi-directional associations of a weight loss intervention with quality of life and mental health in obese older adults with functional limitations. DESIGN:Combined-group analyses of secondary variables from the MEASUR-UP randomized controlled trial. SETTING:Academic medical center. PARTICIPANTS:Obese community-dwelling men and women (N = 67; age ?60; BMI ?30) with functional limitations (Short Physical Performance Battery [SPPB] score of 4-10 out of 12). INTERVENTION:Six-month reduced calorie diet at two protein levels. MEASUREMENTS:Weight, height, body composition, physical function, medical history, and mental health and quality of life assessments (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale [CES-D]; Profile of Mood States [POMS], Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI]; Perceived Stress Scale [PSS]; Satisfaction with Life Scale [SWLS]; and Short Form Health Survey [SF-36]) were acquired at 0, 3 and 6 months. RESULTS:Physical composite quality of life (SF-36) improved significantly at 3 months (? = 6.29, t2,48 = 2.60, p = 0.012) and 6 months (? = 10.03, t2,48 = 4.83, p < 0.001), as did several domains of physical quality of life. Baseline depression symptoms (CES-D and POMS) were found to predict lower amounts of weight loss; higher baseline sleep latency (PSQI) and anger (POMS) predicted less improvement in physical function (SPPB). CONCLUSION:The significant bi-directional associations found between a weight loss intervention and mental health/quality of life, including substantial improvements in physical quality of life with obesity treatment, indicate the importance of considering mental health and quality of life as part of any weight loss intervention for older adults.

Project description:Background and aimsObesity significantly impacts older adults. Intensive nutrition counseling can aid in weight reduction and improve diet quality, but data are sparse in this population. The objective of this intervention is to determine how intensive nutrition counseling affects diet quality and anthropometric measures during a multi-component weight loss intervention in rural older adults with obesity.MethodsA series of 12-week, single-arm feasibility pilots were conducted in fall 2017 and winter/spring 2018 in a community aging center in rural Northern New England. Adults were eligible if ≥ 65 years old with a Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2. Exclusion criteria included dementia/cognitive impairment, uncontrolled psychiatric illness, weight-loss surgery, weight loss >5% in previous 6-months, life-threatening illness, palliative/hospice services, current participation in another weight-loss study/program, obesogenic medications, or presence of major chronic conditions. Participants received once-weekly nutrition counseling by a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN), and twice-weekly exercise sessions by a physical therapist (PT). Primary outcomes were diet quality changes measured by total Rapid Eating and Activity Assessment for Patients-Short Version (REAP-S) and Automated Self-Administered 24-h dietary recall (ASA-24). Secondary outcome measures were changes in weight (kilograms) and waist circumference (centimeters). McNemar test was conducted for all paired categorical data while paired t-tests were conducted for all paired continuous data. All analyses were conducted in R; p-value<0.05 was significant.ResultsTotal n = 23. Mean age was 72.2 (5.8) years (73.9% female); mean BMI was 35.9 ± 5.0 kg/m2. At 12 weeks, diet quality significantly improved. REAP-S scores increased by 3.53 ± 3.13 points (p < 0.001). Kilocalories, grams fat, grams saturated fat, milligrams sodium, grams added sugar, and grams alcohol via ASA-24 significantly decreased (all p < 0.05). Significant reductions in weight (-5.22 ± 3.13 kg) and waist circumference (-6.88 ± 5.67 cm) were observed (both p < 0.001).ConclusionIntensive nutrition counseling significantly enhances diet quality and reduces weight and waist circumference in rural older adults with obesity.

Project description:ImportanceGenome-wide association studies have identified genetic loci influencing obesity risk in children. However, the importance of these loci in the associations with weight reduction through lifestyle interventions has not been investigated in large intervention trials.ObjectiveTo evaluate the associations between various obesity susceptibility loci and changes in body weight in children during an in-hospital, lifestyle intervention program.Design, setting, and participantsLong-term Effects of Lifestyle Intervention in Obesity and Genetic Influence in Children (LOGIC), an interventional prospective cohort study, enrolled 1429 children with overweight or obesity to participate in an in-hospital lifestyle intervention program. Genotyping of 56 validated obesity single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) was performed, and the associations between the SNVs and body weight reduction during the intervention were evaluated using linear mixed-effects models for each SNV. The LOGIC study was conducted from January 6, 2006, to October 19, 2013; data analysis was performed from July 15, 2015, to November 6, 2016.ExposuresA 4- to 6-week standardized in-hospital lifestyle intervention program (daily physical activity, calorie-restricted diet, and behavioral therapy).Main outcomes and measuresThe association between 56 obesity-relevant SNVs and changes in body weight and body mass index.ResultsOf 1429 individuals enrolled in the LOGIC Study, 1198 individuals (mean [SD] age, 14.0 [2.2] years; 670 [56%] girls) were genotyped. A mean (SD) decrease was noted in body weight of -8.7 (3.6) kg (95% CI, -15.7 to -1.8 kg), and body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) decreased by -3.3 (1.1) (95% CI, -5.4 to -1.1) (both P < .05). Five of 56 obesity SNVs were statistically significantly associated with a reduction of body weight or body mass index (all P < 8.93 × 10-4 corresponding to Bonferroni correction for 56 tests). Compared with homozygous participants without the risk allele, homozygous carriers of the rs7164727 (LOC100287559: 0.42 kg; 95% CI, 0.31-0.53 kg, P = 4.00 × 10-4) and rs12940622 (RPTOR: 0.35 kg; 95% CI, 0.18-0.52 kg; P = 1.86 × 10-5) risk alleles had a lower reduction of body weight, whereas carriers of the rs13201877 (IFNGR1: 0.65 kg; 95% CI, 0.51-0.79 kg; P = 2.39 × 10-5), rs10733682 (LMX1B: 0.45 kg; 95% CI, 0.27-0.63 kg; P = 6.37 × 10-4), and rs2836754 (ETS2: 0.56 kg; 95% CI, 0.38-0.74 kg; P = 1.51 × 10-4) risk alleles were associated with a greater reduction of body weight after adjustment for age and sex.Conclusions and relevanceGenes appear to play a minor role in weight reduction by lifestyle in children with overweight or obesity. The findings suggest that environmental, social, and behavioral factors are more important to consider in obesity treatment strategies.
