Descripción
An ongoing clinical trial is testing the efficacy ofweb telematic support in a structured programfor obesity treatment and diabetes prevention. Participantswere recruited fromtwotertiary-care hospitals and randomized to receive either a telematic intervention (TI) supported by PREDIRCAM2 web platform or a non-telematic intervention (NTI). All receive 1-year follow-up. Both interventions consist of tailored dietary and exercise prescriptions, based on a Mediterranean dietary pattern and generalWHOexercise recommendations for adults.At 6months, both groups have received 7 contacts, 3 exclusively telematic for the TI group. This is a preliminary result intention-to-treat analysis. One hundred eighty-three participants were recruited, with a mean body mass index of 34.75 ? 2.75 kg/m2. General dropout rate at 6 months was 26.8%. Weight changes were statistically significant at months 3 and 6 compared to baseline, -2.915 ? 0.24 kg, -3.29 ? 0.36 kg, respectively (P < 0.001), but not statistically significant between the 3- and 6-month time points -0.37 ? 0.21 kg (P= 0.24). Mean group differences showed that the TI group lost 1.61 ? 1.88 kg more than the NTI group (P= 0.39). Waist, waist/hip ratio, resting heart rate, blood pressure, HbA1c, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol also showed statistically significant changes at 6months, with no significant differences between groups.Weight loss in the TI group shows similar results as the usual care NTI group for weight loss and control of obesity comorbidities.At completion of the clinical trial, these resultswill be reevaluated to assess the potential role of web support in weight-loss maintenance and its cost-effectiveness.
