Background.
Lifestyle interventions focusing on healthy diet and physical activity (PA) are effective in reducing health risks in controlled research settings.
The aim of this study was to investigate the one-year results of the BeweegKuur lifestyle intervention implemented nationwide in Netherlands for people with a weight-related health risk.
Materials and Methods.
Data were requested from all 160 locations participating in the BeweegKuur.
In a one group pretest/posttest study, one-year changes in health outcome variables and time spent on physical activity were tested with dependent t-tests.
Associations between one-year changes in weight and waist circumference and sociodemographic factors and uptake of the program were analysed with ANOVA.
Results.
Data for 517 participants from 47 locations were available for analysis.
One year after the intervention, weight reduced by 2.9 kg (95% CI −3.3;, −2.5), waist circumference by 4.3 cm (−4.9; −3.7), and blood glucose by 0.5 mmol/L (−0.8; −0.3).
Physical activity increased significantly.
Higher uptake of the program was associated with a larger decrease in waist circumference.
Conclusion.
The results of the study suggest that lifestyle interventions implemented in real-life primary healthcare settings with tailor-made supervision can contribute meaningfully to primary prevention.
