Obesity Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effects of a Facebook-based Weight Loss Programme for Obese Adults in Hong Kong
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and efficacy of a 6-month weight loss intervention program for obese working adults through a popular social networking site - Facebook.
Obese individuals often are at higher risk for developing non-communicable diseases such as
diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The regular physical activity, healthy diet and social
support have been shown to be beneficial for weight loss.
This is a two-arm parallel design randomized controlled trial for 6 months. Participants who
completed the baseline assessment will be randomly allocated, after stratified by gender, to
either a control group or Facebook-based intervention group. The control group will receive
information on healthy eating, physical activity, obesity and cancer via three government
printed health pamphlets. In addition to the government health pamphlets, the intervention
group will receive a programme delivered through Facebook.
The interventions include participation in a private research group on Facebook for health
education, self monitoring and social support. Participants will receive 12 weekly lessons
related to nutrition, physical activity, Chinese food therapy, acupressure, weight loss. A
registered nutritionist and a registered Chinese medicine practitioner will join the
Facebook group as health partners. Both of them are also registered nurses.
Data collection will be carried out at baseline, 3 months and 6 months. Each time, both
groups will complete online questionnaires and attend in-person anthropometric measurements
