Weight Change, Physical Activity and Health Promotion in Veteran Amputees
In Brief
An observational study for Amputation Wound and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 4,549 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess weight change in a population of Veterans with amputations. Little is known about the how weight changes following an amputation. It is widely believed that many patients experience weight gain following amputation. This study aims to identify magnitude of weight changes following amputation and determine characteristics associated with weight gain. Information on weight change trajectories would be useful to better understand long-term health consequences associated with amputation and to design and target interventions to encourage weight maintenance and general health promotion for groups at high risk of weight gain.
