Randomized Trial to Reduce Sitting Time and Improve Cardiometabolic Health in Obese Older Adults
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating i-STAND and Healthy Living control for Sedentary Lifestyle. Completed, enrolled 283 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Healthy Aging Resources to Thrive (HART) uses a rigorous two-stage randomized control design, adapted and refined based on pilot studies, to test a novel intervention to reduce sitting time in older adults. Half the participants will be randomized to the intervention aimed at decreasing sitting time, and the other half will be randomized to a healthy living control that does not focus on reduced sitting time. After 6 months, the intervention group will be further randomized so that half continue with the intervention and the other half receive no further intervention. All participants will be followed for 12 months.

Timeline
Interventions
Via in-person and phone coaching sessions, participants randomized to this arm will be coached to find ways to sit less and stand more, and look for ways to change their home environment to encourage this, as well as look at how their lifestyle may contribute to their sitting time. Participants in this arm may be re-randomized at the half-way point to continue with additional phone coaching sessions. (As of 3/31/2022 Re-randomizations are no longer taking place)
In this arm, participants will have phone coaching sessions focused on a variety of topics aimed at improving healthy habits. There is no focus on standing more or sitting less.
