The Active Body Control (ABC) weight-reduction program is based on telemonitoring of physical activity and nutrition together with telecoaching by weekly counseling letters sent by post or by e-mail. The study presented here reports the results of a 1-year follow-up of 49 patients with the metabolic syndrome who had lost weight with the aid of the ABC program in the preceding year. The weight regain after the second year in patients not receiving any further care ("ABC discontinued" group; n = 24) and the potential benefit of continuing with the ABC program with monthly counseling letters ("ABC continued" group; n = 25) were investigated. The relative weight changes after the first year had been, respectively, -13.4% and -11.4% in the "ABC discontinued" and "ABC continued" groups, and after the second year they decreased by, respectively, 4.4 and 2.8%. However, this difference in weight regains between the two groups was not statistically significant. It is concluded that three-quarters of the weight loss after 1 year is maintained after the second year. The decision whether to continue with the ABC program after 1 year should be made individually.
主动身体控制(ABC)减重计划基于对身体活动和营养的远程监测,以及通过邮寄或电子邮件发送的每周咨询信件进行远程指导。本文介绍的研究报告了对49例代谢综合征患者进行1年随访的结果,这些患者在前一年借助ABC计划实现了体重减轻。研究调查了未接受任何后续护理的患者(“ABC停止”组;n = 24)在第二年的体重反弹情况,以及继续接受每月咨询信件的ABC计划(“ABC继续”组;n = 25)的潜在益处。“ABC停止”组和“ABC继续”组在第一年之后的相对体重变化分别为-13.4%和-11.4%,到第二年分别下降了4.4和2.8%。然而,两组之间体重反弹的这种差异在统计学上并不显著。研究得出结论,一年后减重的四分之三在第二年得以维持。是否在一年后继续ABC计划应因人而异。
