ABSTRACT: Objective
The study objective was to determine whether two self-regulation interventions that reduced 3-year weight gain in young adults remain effective at 6 years.Methods
A randomized trial was conducted in two academic settings in 599 young adults, aged 18 to 35 years, with normal weight or overweight; 504 (84%) reconsented for a 6-year extension (Study of Novel Approaches to Weight Gain Prevention-Extended [SNAP-E]) with ongoing intervention and assessments. Weight gain over 6 years was compared for all assigned to Control, Large Changes (LC; lose 5-10 pounds initially), and Small Changes (SC; make small daily changes in intake and activity).Results
Weight change from baseline to 6 years did not differ significantly among the three groups (Control?=?3.9 kg, SC?=?4.1 kg, and LC?=?2.8 kg). However, there was a significant age-by-treatment interaction (P?=?0.002). Among those?ConclusionsAlthough the interventions did not reduce weight gain at 6 years for the full cohort, they were effective in those?
