With the explosion of Internet accessibility, online delivery offers potential for significantly greater reach of evidence-based obesity treatment programs for adults. Online behavioral weight control has been shown to produce significant weight loss, with more recent programs demonstrating larger losses and general consumer satisfaction. A growing literature indicates several program parameters that may offer greatest engagement in online obesity interventions and better weight loss outcomes, including interactive, dynamic Web site features and synchronous counselor contact, although this research is in the early stages, and a clear picture of the essential components for the most effective online obesity program remains to be determined. Further research is required to enhance weight loss outcomes, determine cost-effectiveness of Internet-delivered programs, and identify the individuals most likely to benefit from treatment in this format.
随着互联网接入的迅速普及,在线服务为显著扩大针对成年人的循证肥胖治疗项目的覆盖范围提供了潜力。在线行为体重控制已被证明能带来显著的体重减轻,最近的项目显示出更大幅度的体重减轻以及普遍的消费者满意度。越来越多的文献指出了几个可能在在线肥胖干预中实现最大参与度和更好体重减轻效果的项目参数,包括交互式、动态网站功能以及同步的咨询员联系,不过这项研究尚处于早期阶段,最有效的在线肥胖项目的基本组成部分仍有待明确。需要进一步开展研究以提高体重减轻效果,确定互联网提供项目的成本效益,并找出最有可能从这种形式的治疗中受益的个体。
