We aimed to explore the independent factors associated with successful weight loss using a mobile app during the COVID-19 pandemic.
For this retrospective cohort study, we collected data from 45 adults in a weight loss program using a mobile app. We defined successful weight loss as a weight reduction by ≥ 5% of the baseline weight. Multivariate logistic analysis was used to assess potential factors influencing successful weight loss.
All subjects showed a mean 4.1 ± 4.4 kg reduction of baseline weight after using the app for a mean duration of 11 weeks (P < 0.001). Subjects in the successful weight loss group displayed a longer duration of treatment (14.6 ± 6.5 weeks vs 6.9 ± 6.0 weeks, P < 0.001), greater number of dietary records (109.2 ± 84.7 vs 54.7 ± 58.8, P = 0.002), and greater number of outpatient visits (6.1 ± 2.7 vs 3.7 ± 2.3, P < 0.001) than those in the unsuccessful weight loss group. Multivariate logistic analysis showed that duration of treatment was an independent factor associated with successful weight loss (odds ratio = 1.23, 95% confidence interval: 1.08-1.41, P = 0.003).
In a weight management program using a mobile app during the COVID-19 pandemic, the duration of treatment was found to be an independent factor of successful weight loss.
我们旨在探讨在新冠疫情期间使用移动应用程序成功减肥的相关独立因素。
在这项回顾性队列研究中，我们收集了45名使用移动应用程序参与减肥计划的成年人的数据。我们将成功减肥定义为体重减轻≥基线体重的5%。采用多因素逻辑分析来评估影响成功减肥的潜在因素。
所有受试者在使用该应用程序平均11周后，基线体重平均减轻了4.1±4.4千克（P<0.001）。成功减肥组的受试者治疗时间更长（14.6±6.5周对6.9±6.0周，P<0.001），饮食记录数量更多（109.2±84.7对54.7±58.8，P=0.002），门诊就诊次数更多（6.1±2.7对3.7±2.3，P<0.001）。多因素逻辑分析表明，治疗时间是与成功减肥相关的独立因素（比值比=1.23，95%置信区间：1.08-1.41，P=0.003）。
在新冠疫情期间使用移动应用程序的体重管理计划中，治疗时间被发现是成功减肥的独立因素。
