Establishing the relevance of psychological determinants regarding physical activity in people with overweight and obesity.

ABSTRACT: To identify the most relevant determinants involved in Physical Activity (PA) changes in the EVIDENT 3 study population, measured by the International PA Questionnaire (IPAQ) and the Actigraph GT3X accelerometer.

Method

Exploratory study. Data used were collected from EVIDENT 3 study (N = 650). Items to measure psychological determinants were chosen from the baseline questionnaires. PA minutes/week were assessed by an accelerometer and IPAQ. The sample was analyzed by the control group (CG), the intervention group (IG) and Body Mass Index, using Confidence Interval-Based Estimation of Relevance (CIBER) analyses.

Results

486 participants, (IG: n = 251, CG: n = 235) were included. IG shows a positive association between PA assessed by accelerometer and self-efficacy. In IG, the overweight sample shows a positive association between PA assessed by accelerometer and motivation and self-efficacy. PA assessed by accelerometer obtained a higher explained variance (R² ) in IG, both people with overweight (.10 - .55) and obesity (.03 - .19). In CG, IPAQ reached better results in people with overweight (.12 - .49).

Conclusions

Motivation and self-efficacy showed as relevant in increasing PA minutes/week, but only in the people with overweight in IG. There might be other factors not analyzed that could improve the low R² obtained.

Project description:BackgroundOverweight and obesity among children and adolescents are emerging public health problems. Modifiable lifestyle factors such as physical inactivity and eating out are responsible for the increased prevalence of obesity and related health risks.ObjectiveTo examine physical activity level and weight status among Saudi children in relation to age and gender.Study designIn a cross-sectional study, 200 apparently healthy Saudi children (118 boys and 82 girls), aged 5-15 years, were enrolled from the Pediatric clinics at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. To determine physical activity level, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form-A was used. Anthropometric measurements were taken for all participants.ResultsCentral obesity was highly prevalent among adolescents as compared with a higher prevalence of general obesity in children. Physical activity level was significantly higher among adolescent boys than adolescent girls (P<.05). Girls scored almost double the total metabolic equivalent scores. More boys were considered highly active (59% vs. 40%) in contrast with more girls with low physical activity (38% vs. 26%). Among girls, high physical activity score was higher in children than in adolescents (40% vs. 21%) and an increasing number of adolescents were of low physical activity than children (64% vs. 38%). The majority of the study population were spending more than 2 h per day in watching TV and playing electronic games, but a slightly higher number of children showed sedentary behavior than adolescents. Adolescent girls were significantly spending more time watching TV than adolescent boys (P<.01). Significant inverse associations with most anthropometric measures and the time spent in watching TV and doing desk work were demonstrated in both genders.ConclusionThis study reports significant influence, by age and gender, contributing to physical inactivity and weight status among Saudi children.

Project description:Interventions have modest impact on reducing excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) in pregnant women with overweight/obesity. This two-arm feasibility randomized control trial tested delivery of and compliance with an intervention using adapted dosages to regulate GWG, and examined pre-post change in GWG and secondary outcomes (physical activity: PA, energy intake: EI, theories of planned behavior/self-regulation constructs) compared to a usual care group. Pregnant women with overweight/obesity (N = 31) were randomized to a usual care control group or usual care + intervention group from 8 to 2 weeks gestation and completed the intervention through 36 weeks gestation. Intervention women received weekly evidence-based education/counseling (e.g., GWG, PA, EI) delivered by a registered dietitian in a 60-min face-to-face session. GWG was monitored weekly; women within weight goals continued with education while women exceeding goals received more intensive dosages (e.g., additional hands-on EI/PA sessions). All participants used mHealth tools to complete daily measures of weight (Wi-Fi scale) and PA (activity monitor), weekly evaluation of diet quality (MyFitnessPal app), and weekly/monthly online surveys of motivational determinants/self-regulation. Daily EI was estimated with a validated back-calculation method as a function of maternal weight, PA, and resting metabolic rate. Sixty-five percent of eligible women were randomized; study completion was 87%; 10% partially completed the study and drop-out was 3%. Compliance with using the mHealth tools for intensive data collection ranged from 77 to 97%; intervention women attended > 90% education/counseling sessions, and 68-93% dosage step-up sessions. The intervention group (6.9 kg) had 21% lower GWG than controls (8.8 kg) although this difference was not significant. Exploratory analyses also showed the intervention group had significantly lower EI kcals at post-intervention than controls. A theoretical, adaptive intervention with varied dosages to regulate GWG is feasible to deliver to pregnant women with overweight/obesity.
