To evaluate the effectiveness and efficacy of both the intervention
and administrative components of a weight control program, 37 obese
subjects participated in 10 or 12 week treatment programs based on
nutrition, exercise, and behavior modification. According to established
compliance criteria, 18 of the 35 women subjects completed treatment
and were selected for investigation. Evaluation of the intervention
revealed a mean loss of body weight of 9.7 pounds f 6.4 s. d. , a
decrease in percentage of body fat of 4.7% f 3.5 s.d., and an increase
in knowledge of weight control principles. A paired t-test determined
that all changes were significant (p~0.01). Follow-up 5 months posttreatment
revealed a decrease of weight by 10.0 pounds f 7.9 s.d. and
percent body fat by 4.4% f 4.9 s.d. between pre-treatment and follow-up
measurements (p4 0.01). Comparison between post-treatment and follow-up
data demonstrated no significant differences. The following administrative
components were evaluated: 1.) personnel and setting, 2.) cost effectiveness,
3.) client satisfaction, and 4.) marketing and promotion.
Results of this investigation illustrated that a behavioral approach to
weight control, utilizing nutrition and exercise interventions is
effective in reducing body weight to established goals, decreasing body
fat, and improving knowledge of weight control principles. Further this
program appears to be a satisfactory modality for administering weight
reduction therapy. |
