Description of Weight-Related Content and Recommended Dietary Behaviors for Weight Loss Frequently Reposted on X (Twitter) in English and Japanese: Content Analysis

These cultural differences in dietary intake may contribute to distinct obesity rates, public attitudes toward body image, and dietary practices for weight loss. Therefore, this study aimed to examine frequently shared content about body weight on X, with a particular focus on dietary recommendations for weight loss.

Body Fat and Obesity Rates, Cardiovascular Fitness, and the Feasibility of a Low-Intensity Non–Weight-Centric Educational Intervention Among Late Adolescents: Quasi-Experimental Study

Body Fat and Obesity Rates, Cardiovascular Fitness, and the Feasibility of a Low-Intensity Non–Weight-Centric Educational Intervention Among Late Adolescents: Quasi-Experimental Study

Furthermore, only 3 of these studies used theory-based approaches [12], and all used weight-centric messaging. Since 2020, more than 100 organizations worldwide, including scientific societies and academic institutions, have endorsed joint international statements to eliminate weight stigma [16]. Non–weight-centric approaches, which emphasize overall health and well-being rather than solely focusing on weight loss, have gained traction in school-based obesity interventions [17].

An Image-Recognition Dietary Assessment App for Adolescents With Obesity: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

An Image-Recognition Dietary Assessment App for Adolescents With Obesity: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Studies on children with obesity have shown that their self-reported caloric intake is either equal [8] or lower [9] compared to their normal-weight peers. It is unclear whether this is due to errors in study design, social pressures to underreport, or perhaps difficulties estimating portion sizes.

Remote Patient Monitoring and Digital Therapeutics Enhancing the Continuum of Care in Heart Failure: Nonrandomized Pilot Study

Remote Patient Monitoring and Digital Therapeutics Enhancing the Continuum of Care in Heart Failure: Nonrandomized Pilot Study

Each RPM+ patient was offered a package that included 3 Bluetooth-connected devices: a body weight scale, a blood pressure monitor, and a glucometer. However, the use of these devices was not mandatory, and patients had the option to use their own devices if preferred. Technical support was provided to help patients connect these devices to their smartphones or tablets.

A Culturally Sensitive Mobile App (DiaFriend) to Improve Self-Care in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: Development Study

These features include blood glucose monitoring, weight tracking, carbohydrate tracking, exercise logging, and medication reminders. For weight tracking, the basal metabolic index was used. While more than 5 features were suggested, the research team first focused on implementing these 5 essential functionalities, intending to add more features in future iterations based on user feedback in the project’s next phase (phase 3).

Effect of a Web-Based Nutritional and Physical Activity Intervention With Email Support (the EDDY Program) on Primary School Children’s BMI Z-Score During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Intervention Study

Effect of a Web-Based Nutritional and Physical Activity Intervention With Email Support (the EDDY Program) on Primary School Children’s BMI Z-Score During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Intervention Study

In Austria, studies have also reported an increase in body weight and BMI during lockdowns [4-6], affecting boys especially. The restriction of daily activities, the stay-at-home orders, and the closure of playgrounds and sports facilities led to decreased levels of PA in children. Moreover, school PA education classes were interrupted, which may have influenced the observed decrease in cardiorespiratory fitness measurements reported previously [4].
