Abstract

Mobile technologies offer the potential for efficacious and cost-effective lifestyle interventions for weight loss. Extant research indicates that mobile health (mHealth) lifestyle interventions are potentially effective and practical methods of weight loss, but it is less known what intervention characteristics are associated with weight loss effects. This meta-analysis examined the effectiveness of mHealth physical activity interventions for weight loss compared with non-technology/usual care interventions and the moderating effects of behavioral change theories, techniques, and mobile technologies. A total of 24 studies were identified based on inclusion criteria. Weight loss was the primary outcome. The results showed a medium significant effect size (d = 0.395; 95% CI = 0.243, 0.546; Z = 5.107, p < 0.001; N = 5146) favoring mHealth interventions. Interventions were significantly more effective when wearable devices were used (QB = 4.102, df = 1, p < 0.05) and when feedback was employed (QB = 4.566, df = 1, p < 0.05). The implications for future mHealth intervention design are discussed.

mHealth体育活动干预对减肥的总体效果以及行为改变理论、技术和移动技术的调节作用的荟萃分析
移动技术为有效和成本效益高的减肥生活方式干预提供了潜力。现有研究表明,移动健康(mHealth)生活方式干预是潜在的有效和实用的减肥方法,但尚不清楚哪些干预特征与减肥效果相关。这项荟萃分析检验了mHealth体育活动干预与非技术/常规护理干预相比对减肥的有效性,以及行为改变理论、技术和移动技术的调节作用。根据纳入标准,共确定了24项研究。主要结果是体重减轻。结果显示中等显著效应大小(d = 0.395;95%CI = 0.243,0.546;Z = 5.107,第页 < 0.001;N = 5146)支持mHealth干预。当使用可穿戴设备时,干预措施明显更有效(QB = 4.102,df = 1,p < 0.05)以及当采用反馈时(QB = 4.566,df = 1,p < 0.05)。讨论了对未来mHealth干预设计的影响。
