OBJECTIVE
To evaluate a commercial online weight loss program and activity tracker, which are popular but have unknown efficacy.
METHODS
Two hundred seventy-nine participants with BMI 27 to 40 kg/m were randomized to 12 months of the Weight Watchers Online program alone (WWO) or with the ActiveLink activity tracking device (WWO+AL) or an online newsletter (Control).
RESULTS
Weight losses at 3 months were significantly greater in WWO (2.7 kg [95% confidence interval (CI), 2.0-3.5 kg] than Control (1.3 kg [95% CI, 0.5-2.0 kg]; P = 0.01); neither differed from WWO+AL (2.0 kg [95% CI, 1.3-2.7 kg]; Ps > 0.56). Significantly more WWO participants (24.5%) achieved ≥ 5% weight loss at 3 months than Control (9.4%) (P = 0.01); neither differed from WWO+AL (17.6%) (Ps = 0.13-0.28). At 12 months, there were no significant differences between groups in weight loss (Ps > 0.52). WWO (25.5%) continued to have a higher proportion of participants achieving ≥ 5% weight loss than Control (12.9%) (P = 0.04); neither differed from WWO+AL (14.3%) (Ps > 0.10). There were no significant between-group differences in change in physical activity (Ps > 0.17).
CONCLUSIONS
WWO produced significantly more weight loss at 3 months relative to Control, but not at 12 months. Significantly more WWO than Control participants lost ≥ 5% at both 3 and 12 months. Participants receiving an activity tracking device did not achieve greater weight loss or physical activity increases than those in a Control condition.
目的
评估一款广受欢迎但疗效未知的商业在线减肥计划和活动追踪器。
方法
将 279 名 BMI 为 27 至 40kg/m 的参与者随机分为 12 个月的 Weight Watchers Online 计划组（WWO）、带 ActiveLink 活动追踪器的 WWO 组（WWO+AL）或在线新闻通讯组（对照组）。
结果
3 个月时，WWO 组体重下降明显大于对照组（2.7kg [95%置信区间（CI），2.0-3.5kg]，对照组为 1.3kg [95% CI，0.5-2.0kg]；P=0.01），与 WWO+AL 组（2.0kg [95% CI，1.3-2.7kg]；Ps>0.56）相比也无差异。3 个月时，更多的 WWO 组（24.5%）达到了≥5%的体重下降，而对照组（9.4%）（P=0.01）；与 WWO+AL 组（17.6%）相比也无差异（Ps=0.13-0.28）。12 个月时，各组之间的体重下降无显著差异（Ps>0.52）。WWO（25.5%）继续比对照组（12.9%）有更高比例的参与者达到≥5%的体重下降（P=0.04）；与 WWO+AL 组（14.3%）相比也无差异（Ps>0.10）。各组之间的身体活动变化无显著差异（Ps>0.17）。
结论
与对照组相比，WWO 在 3 个月时体重下降显著更多，但在 12 个月时则不然。在 3 个月和 12 个月时，与对照组相比，更多的 WWO 参与者体重下降≥5%。与对照组相比，接受活动追踪器的参与者体重下降或身体活动增加并无显著增加。
