Racial Ethnic

Abstract Racial/ethnic differences in obesity prevalence and in responses to weight-loss treatment between Black and White women are well documented. Whether these differences influence responses to weight-loss treatment among older women is unknown. Therefore, we evaluated racial/ethnic differences among participants in a 6-month weight-loss study with traditional versus higher protein intake. Participants were obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) community-dwelling women, age 45 years or older, who self-identified as either Black or White. Change in body-weight, 6 minute walk test (6MWT), general health (SF-36), and satisfaction with life (SWL) were evaluated at 0, 4 and 6 months. Both racial groups reduced (ps &lt; 0.01) body weight at 4 and 6 months, with a trend toward more weight loss among White women (p = 0.07), relative to Black women. Other racial/ethnic differences included greater improvements in general health (p = 0.05) and 6MWT (p &lt; 0.05) for White versus Black women at 6 months; these differences persisted after adjusting for treatment group, age/education, and comorbidity. Although racial/ethnic differences in SWL were not observed, significant improvement was observed only among White women (p &lt; 0.01). Interestingly, weight loss was associated with improved 6MWT only among Black women (r = -0.66, p &lt; 0.05) and with general health only among White women (r = -0.44, p &lt; 0.05). Overall, White women experienced greater improvements in health and physical function as a result of weight-loss than did Black women. Further research is needed to identify equitable intervention strategies for the treatment of sarcopenic obesity.

Abstract Evidence-based behavioral weight loss treatment is under-utilized. To increase initiation of treatment, we developed a single-session, online, primary care-based intervention (“mobilization tool”). We evaluated the mobilization tool's acceptability for primary care patients with obesity, trial design feasibility, and signal of an effect of the tool on treatment initiation. In this cluster randomized feasibility trial, primary care providers (PCPs) were randomized to a mobilization tool or comparator tool arm. Patients with obesity and a scheduled appointment with a randomized PCP were assigned to complete the mobilization or comparator tool prior to their appointment. The online mobilization tool asks patients to answer questions about a variety of weight-related topics and then provides automated, tailored feedback that addresses psychosocial determinants of weight loss treatment initiation. The comparator tool provided a nontailored description of treatments. All participants were offered free enrollment in behavioral weight loss treatments. Six PCPs were randomized. Sixty patients (57% female; 66% white; aged 55 ± 13 years) participated in this study of 296 contacted for eligibility evaluation (20.2%). Six-month follow-up assessments were completed by 65% (22/34) of the mobilization and 73% (19/26) of comparator tool participants. Participants completing the acceptability survey reported that the mobilization tool was usable, enjoyable, informative, and useful. Weight loss treatment was initiated by 59% (n = 19) of mobilization and 33% (n = 8) of comparator tool participants. The mobilization tool shows promise for increasing treatment initiation among primary care patients, which may increase population weight loss. Trial Registration: Clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT02708121.
