Behavioral Change Intervention to Promote a Healthier Postpartum Lifestyle: Mixed Methods Pilot Study

Behavioral Change Intervention to Promote a Healthier Postpartum Lifestyle: Mixed Methods Pilot Study

In this paper, we examine whether Healthy Together enabled change in lifestyle behaviors in terms of diet and exercise and further identify possible barriers and facilitators to the module’s use, including preferences for individual components: push notifications, exercise videos, weight tracking, and podcasts. A mixed methods approach was used to gather more comprehensive data.

Effectiveness of a Digital Therapy on 6-Month Weight Loss in People With Obesity: The Digital Therapy to Promote Weight Loss in Patients With Obesity by Increasing Their Adherence to Treatment (DEMETRA) Randomized Clinical Trial

Both groups followed the same energy-restricted diet and regularly self-monitored dietary adherence, physical activity, and weight trends. Specifically, the dietary intervention, based on the Italian Guidelines for Dietary Obesity Management [30], provided a personalized Mediterranean-style low-calorie diet.

A Smartphone App (PRIMI) to Promote Healthy Diet, Physical Activity, and Health Literacy After Childbirth Among Migrant Women: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

A Smartphone App (PRIMI) to Promote Healthy Diet, Physical Activity, and Health Literacy After Childbirth Among Migrant Women: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Specifically, we are unaware of any lifestyle app provided by health professionals to women in Sweden after childbirth or of any scientifically evaluated app tailored to migrant women after childbirth worldwide that targets diet and physical activity. Thus, there is a great need for randomized controlled trials that examine the effectiveness of m Health interventions to promote healthy diet and physical activity after childbirth in migrant women.

Lifestyle eHealth and mHealth Interventions for Children and Adolescents: Systematic Umbrella Review and Meta–Meta-Analysis

Lifestyle eHealth and mHealth Interventions for Children and Adolescents: Systematic Umbrella Review and Meta–Meta-Analysis

Rodríguez-González et al [19] focused on app-based interventions, finding that apps can improve physical activity, reduce sedentary behavior, and enhance diet quality among children and adults. Prowse and Carsley [20], focusing on children’s nutrition, revealed small and inconsistent effects of digital interventions on overall dietary outcomes, with promising results limited to increasing fruit and vegetable intake.

Promoting Healthier Meal Selection and Intake Among Children in Restaurants: Protocol for a Cluster-Randomized Trial

Promoting Healthier Meal Selection and Intake Among Children in Restaurants: Protocol for a Cluster-Randomized Trial

In turn, consumption of restaurant food has been linked with increased daily energy intake and poor diet quality among children, including higher saturated fat and sugar intake [8]. Furthermore, restaurants have become normative eating contexts for many families, with more than one-third of children eating fast food on a given day [9].

Completion Rates for Ecological Momentary Assessments of Food Intake During Pregnancy and Post Partum: Descriptive Study

Completion Rates for Ecological Momentary Assessments of Food Intake During Pregnancy and Post Partum: Descriptive Study

The collection of dietary behavior data is integral to understanding how diet and eating patterns shape health for individuals and communities [1,2]. In childbearing populations, studies show that dietary intake patterns during pregnancy are critical to the health of both the mother and infant [3].

Engagement With and Impact of an mHealth App for Childhood Obesity Prevention and Management: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study

Engagement With and Impact of an mHealth App for Childhood Obesity Prevention and Management: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study

Certain behaviors that contribute to obesity (eg, diet and exercise) are well-established factors in noncommunicable diseases such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes [3], and obesity is strongly associated with increased likelihood of various mental and physical health conditions [3-5]. The ubiquity of cell phones and internet access in the general population has made digital technology a powerful, cost-effective means of supporting key health behavior interventions [6].

Efficacy of a Web-Based Executive Function Training Program to Induce Healthier Food Choices and Increase Valuation of Fruits and Vegetables in Adults: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Efficacy of a Web-Based Executive Function Training Program to Induce Healthier Food Choices and Increase Valuation of Fruits and Vegetables in Adults: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Excess adiposity may not be a function of overconsumption of energy but, rather, of population-level changes in composition of the gut microbiome, reduced diet-induced thermogenesis in response to consumption of processed foods, the magnitude of browning or beiging of adipocytes, the rate of mitochondrial respiration, and intergenerational transmission of epigenetic alterations that increase the risk of excess adiposity [38].
