Redefining BMI: The Body, Mind, and Inflammation Trial
This study, called "Redefining BMI: The Body, Mind, and Inflammation Trial," is looking at new ways to help young women manage their weight and improve their health. It's testing two different approaches: an Integrated Lifestyle Intervention (ILI) and a traditional Behavioral Weight Loss (BWL) program. The ILI program teaches strategies to improve psychological function and change behaviors linked to inflammation. Both programs use digital tools for self-monitoring and involve group sessions and e-coaching. The study aims to see if the ILI is better at reducing body fat, weight, and waist size over 12 months. You might be able to join if you are a woman between 18 and 25 years old with a Body Mass Index (BMI) between 25 and 50 kg/m^2. The current status of the study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is a pilot study with 32 participants, divided into two groups by chance (randomized). It compares two different lifestyle interventions.
- What's involved
- You would participate in an initial 4-month program with weekly group sessions and e-coaching, followed by monthly booster sessions through 12 months. Assessments will occur at 0, 4, 8, and 12 months.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for 12 months after starting the intervention.
