1 Multimodel Exercise and Weight Loss in Older Obese Veterans With Dysmobility

Obesity is a major risk factor for mobility problems in older adults and many older adults use a walking aid to help with their mobility. The use of a walking aid changes normal walking patterns and makes walking harder, leading people to have more functional problems. The purpose of this study is to test the effects of 12 months of a multi-modal balance intervention (MMBI) with supervised weight loss compared to MMBI only on fitness, functional performance, balance, and economy of gait. Participants will be one of 120 participants in the VAMHCS. Participation in this study is voluntary. The research will be conducted at the VAMHCS. The entire study will take approximately 4 years to complete. Subjects' participation in the study will last 24 months.

3 Randomized Explanatory Trial of a Mediterranean Dietary Pattern Weight Loss Intervention for Primary Care Practices

This study will compare a new weight loss program that focuses on a healthy eating pattern, with WW™ (formally Weight Watchers), an effective and widely available weight loss program. Study researchers have developed an adapted version of the Mediterranean eating pattern to be more acceptable and realistic for southerners; this adapted version is known as "Med-South." Those who take part in the study will be randomly assigned to either the Med-South weight loss program or WW™. Both programs will last for 2 years with measurement visits at the start of the study and at 4-, 12- and 24-month follow-up. While the primary outcome measured by the trial will be weight loss at 24 months, researchers will collect other data which may show additional health benefits of the Med-South diet. The study team will measure blood markers of inflammation, which are known to improve with better diet quality. Researchers will also measure participants' skin carotenoid levels, which increase with greater fruit and vegetable consumption. The study will be conducted within 2 regional catchment areas (n=360 participants) representing a diverse spectrum of patients and settings. Patients with a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m^2 will be enrolled and randomized to intervention or augmented usual care. To assure adequate subgroup representation, ≥ 40% of the sample will have diabetes, ≥ 40% will be male, and ≥ 40% will be African American. The intervention will be delivered in 3 phases over 24 months by research staff: Phase I (4 months) focuses on adopting a Med-style dietary pattern; Phase II (8 months) on weight loss; and Phase III (12 months) on weight loss maintenance. Outcomes will be assessed at 4, 12, and 24 months. The primary outcome is weight loss at 24 months. Secondary outcomes include change in physiologic, behavioral, and psychosocial measures. Researchers will also assess implementation cost and the incremental cost-effectiveness of the intervention relative to the augmented usual care group.

Description: The Weight Efficacy Lifestyle Questionnaire Short-Form (WEL-SF1) is a short version of the original Weight-Efficacy Lifestyle Questionnaire and includes 8 questions and 1 situational component representing "confidence in ability to resist eating." Three of the questions are related to emotional eating situations, two to availability, one to social pressure, one to positive activities, and one to physical discomfort. Scoring: The instrument range scores on a Likert-scale from 0 (not at all confident) to 10 (very confident), with sum scores between 0 and 80. High scores are associated with high eating self-efficacy.

Measure: Mean Change in Weight Loss Self-Efficacy from Baseline through Follow-Up

Time: Baseline, Month 4, 12, and 24

Description: Treatment Self-regulation Questionnaire (TSRQ) measures the quality of motivation for a particular health goal. Motivation is psychological energy directed at a particular goal such as weight loss. This measure assesses three types of motivation: autonomous self-regulation, controlled self-regulation, and a-motivation or lack of motivation. This 15-item scale will focus on the reasons why people would either start eating a healthier diet or continue to do so. Scoring: Participants rate each statement on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (not at all true) to 7 (very true). It assesses the degree to which a person's motivation for eating a healthy diet is autonomous or self-determined. The three sub-scale scores can be used separately or a Relative Autonomous Motivation score can be calculated. A higher score indicates greater motivation.

Measure: Mean Change in Dietary Self-Regulation from Baseline through Follow-Up

Time: Baseline, Month 4, 12, and 24

Description: The Three Factor Eating Questionnaire (18 item revised version) measures eating attitudes with scales representing three dimensions of eating behavior: cognitive restraint (control over food intake in order to influence body weight / body shape), uncontrolled eating (loss of control over eating), and emotional eating (eating in response to positive and negative emotions). Scoring: Each scale (dimension) is scored separately. Six of the eighteen items measure cognitive restraint, nine measure uncontrolled eating, and three measure emotional eating. Higher scores indicate greater cognitive restraint.

Measure: Mean Change in Eating Attitudes from Baseline through Follow-Up

Time: Baseline, Month 4, 12, and 24

Description: Perceived self-efficacy is regarded as a suitable predictor of behavioral intentions and reported health behaviors. This 5-item scale of perceived self-efficacy measuring action self-efficacy and coping self-efficacy related to healthful eating behaviors. Responses are on a 4-point scale of 'very uncertain' to 'very certain.' Scoring: Higher scores indicate higher perceived self-efficacy. Validation: Evidence for the validity of the scales has been published in several articles. Cronbach's alpha for the nutrition self-efficacy measure ranges from 0.79 to 0.85.

Description: EARLY Self-Weighing Questionnaire: This is a 2-item screener measures frequency of self-weighing and access to a bathroom scale. It was adapted from the Pound of Prevention Health Habits Questionnaire, Year 2. Validity of construct confirmed in Linde et al, 2005, as reports of higher weighing frequency was associated with greater 24-month weight loss or less weight gain. Scoring: Higher scores indicate higher frequency of self-weighing and access to a bathroom scale.

Measure: Mean Change in Self-Weighing Behaviors from Baseline through Follow-Up

Time: Baseline, Month 4, 12, and 24

Description: Computed as the incremental cost per kilogram of weight loss relative to control. The budgetary assessment will quantify the total and per participant costs of intervention delivery from the health system perspective using an Activity Based Costing (ABC) approach and cost tracking forms that the health economist (Finkelstein) has developed and refined in past behavioral trials. Using this approach, all relevant labor, materials and supplies, contracted services, and other relevant costs required to deliver the interventions will be captured by key activities

Measure: Economic Outcome--Incremental Cost-Effectiveness

Time: Month 24

Description: The numerator for this analysis will be the incremental program delivery costs of the intervention relative to control, minus any cost offsets based on differences in health services and medication use across arms. The denominator will be the incremental QALYs based on average differences in Euro Quality of Life five Dimensions Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) scores across arms collected at each assessment point. These scores can be used to quantify net QALY differences during the intervention period. EQ-5D-5L scale measures patients' quality of healthy living. It has 5 items (Mobility, Self-care, Usual activities, Pain/discomfort, Depression/anxiety). The score calculation of the European Five-Dimensional Health Scale is based on the calculation formula published by the EuroQol Group. Based on 5 combinations of different severity levels, a score of 0 to 1 is obtained. 0 is the least healthy and 1 is the most healthy.

Measure: Economic Outcome--Incremental Cost per Quality Adjusted Life Year (QALY) gained
