Sustainability of MOVE UP Lifestyle Intervention — MOVEUP-S  

Diet, Healthy Clinical Trial

Official title: Mobility and Vitality Lifestyle Program-Sustainability

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

In prior research the investigators have shown that the Mobility and Vitality Lifestyle Program for healthy aging and weight management (MOVE UP) was effective in producing a mean loss of >= 5% body weight, with increased physical activity and reduced fatigue. The current study will pilot a modified and streamlined program to see if it will be similarly effective.

Clinical Trial Description

The investigators aim to test feasibility of Community Health Worker delivery of a modified and streamlined lifestyle program in volunteer community settings and to provide pilot data to inform the design of future randomized controlled trials that may improve physical and mental health in older adults. The current objective is to:

1. Adapt and pilot the previously studied 32-session, 13-month MOVE UP intervention to a streamlined 12-session (4-month) community-based translational behavioral weight management program. The pilot program will be delivered by trained Community Health Workers (CHWs).

2. Implement and evaluate the program's impact on weight and healthy lifestyle changes, including physical performance outcomes, at 2 sites, each with at least 6 eligible obese adults ages 60-75 years old. ;
