Maintenance After Initiation of Nutrition TrAINing (MAINTAIN)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Maintenance intervention for Obesity. Completed, enrolled 222 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Obesity is the second leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States and is associated with a wide range of diseases. In people who are obese, weight loss improves blood pressure, dyslipidemia, glycemia, and arthritis symptoms; reduces medication use for several disease processes; increases physical functioning; and enhances health-related quality of life. The current study evaluated a theoretically informed maintenance intervention. If effective, this intervention could reduce the need for future clinic visits to treat obesity and its many associated illnesses.
