Health behavior change is central in obesity management. Due to its complexity, there has been a growing body of research on: i) the factors that predict the adoption and maintenance of health behaviors, ii) the development and testing of theories that conceptualize relationships among these factors and with health behaviors, and iii) how these factors can be implemented in effective behavior change interventions, considering characteristics of the content (techniques) and delivery. This short review provides an overview of advances in behavior change science theories and methods, focusing on obesity management, and includes a discussion of the main challenges imposed by this research field.
健康行为改变是肥胖管理的核心。由于其复杂性,越来越多的研究关注:i)预测健康行为的采用和维持的因素,ii)发展和测试概念化这些因素与健康行为之间关系的理论,以及 iii)如何在有效的行为改变干预中实施这些因素,考虑到内容(技术)和交付的特点。这篇简短的综述概述了行为改变科学理论和方法的进展,重点关注肥胖管理,并讨论了该研究领域带来的主要挑战。
