Daily Self-weighing and Holiday-associated Weight Gain in Adults
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Daily self-weighing (DSW) for Obesity. Completed, enrolled 111 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Background: Previous studies report 0.4-1.5kg of weight gain during the holiday season, which may contribute to annual weight gain. Purpose: To test whether daily self-weighing (DSW) can prevent holiday weight gain. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that daily self-weighing would effectively prevent weight and fat gain, and that individuals with overweight and obesity would respond most favorably to DSW.
