Abstract

Objective: The objective of the study was to test whether there are sustained effects of the Look AHEAD intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI), versus diabetes support and education (DSE), on weight and body composition 12 to 16 years after randomization. Methods: Participants were a subset of enrollees in the Look AHEAD dual‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry substudy who completed the final visit, composed of men (DSE = 99; ILI = 94) and women (DSE = 134; ILI = 135) with type 2 diabetes and mean (SD) age 57.2 (6.4) years and BMI 34.9 (5.1) kg/m2 at randomization. Dual‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry measured total and regional fat and lean masses at randomization, at Years 1, 4, and 8, and at the final visit. Linear mixed‐effects regressions were applied with adjustment for group, clinic, sex, age, race/ethnicity, and baseline body composition. Results: Weight and most body compartments were reduced by 2% to 8% (and BMI 4%) in ILI versus DSE in men but not women. ILI‐induced loss of lean tissue did not show a lower percent lean mass versus DSE at 16 years after randomization. Conclusion: ILI‐related changes in weight, fat, and lean mass were detectable 12 to 16 years after randomization in men but, for unknown reasons, not in women. There was no evidence that the intervention led to a disproportionate loss of lean mass by the end of the study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Research shows that a diverse faculty improves academic, clinical, and research outcomes in higher education. Despite that, persons in minority groups, usually categorized by race or ethnicity, are underrepresented in academia (URiA). The Nutrition Obesity Research Centers (NORCs), supported by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, hosted workshops on five separate days in September and October 2020. NORCs convened these workshops to identify barriers and facilitators for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and provide specific recommendations to improve DEI within obesity and nutrition for individuals from URiA groups. Recognized experts on DEI presented each day, after which the NORCs conducted breakout sessions with key stakeholders who engage in nutrition and obesity research. The breakout session groups included early‐career investigators, professional societies, and academic leadership. The consensus from the breakout sessions was that glaring inequities affect URiA in nutrition and obesity, particularly related to recruitment, retention, and advancement. Recommendations from the breakout sessions to improve DEI across academia focused on six themes: (1) recruitment, (2) retention, (3) advancement, (4) intersectionality of multiple challenges (e.g., being Black and a woman), (5) funding agencies, and (6) implementation of strategies to address problems related to DEI.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Equations for predicting Body Surface Area (BSA) produce flawed estimates, especially for individuals with obesity. We aimed to compare BSA measured by a 3-dimensional photonic scanner (BSA(3DPS)) to BSA predicted by six commonly cited prediction equations, and to develop new prediction equations if warranted. METHODS: We validated the 3DPS against manual measurements by breadth caliper for body thicknesses measured at three anatomical sites on a mannequin. BSA was derived from 3DPS whole body scans of 67 males and 201 females, ages 18-83; BMIs 17.8-77.8 kg/m(2), and varied race/ethnicities. RESULTS: Width and depth measurements by 3DPS and caliper were within 1%, except for hip, error 1.8%. BSA(3DPS) differed from BSA predicted by each equation (p

Abstract

This study examined whether the neighborhood built environment moderated gestational weight gain (GWG) in LIFE-Moms clinical trials. Participants were 790 pregnant women (13.9 weeks’ gestation) with overweight or obesity randomized within four clinical centers to standard care or lifestyle intervention to reduce GWG. Geographic information system (GIS) was used to map the neighborhood built environment. The intervention relative to standard care significantly reduced GWG (coefficient = 0.05; p= 0.005) and this effect remained significant (p< 0.03) after adjusting for built environment variables. An interaction was observed for presence of fast food restaurants (coefficient = −0.007; p= 0.003). Post hoc tests based on a median split showed that the intervention relative to standard care reduced GWG in participants living in neighborhoods with lower fast food density 0.08 [95% CI, 0.03,0.12] kg/week (p= 0.001) but not in those living in areas with higher fast food density (0.02 [−0.04, 0.08] kg/week; p= 0.55). Interaction effects suggested less intervention efficacy among women living in neighborhoods with more grocery/convenience stores (coefficient = −0.005; p= 0.0001), more walkability (coefficient −0.012; p= 0.007) and less crime (coefficient = 0.001; p= 0.007), but post-hoc tests were not significant. No intervention x environment interaction effects were observed for total number of eating establishments or tree canopy. Lifestyle interventions during pregnancy were effective across diverse physical environments. Living in environments with easy access to fast food restaurants may limit efficacy of prenatal lifestyle interventions, but future research is needed to replicate these findings.
