Official title
Changes in Weight and Physical Function for Older African American Women in a National, Nonprofit, Community-Based, Peer-Led, Weight Loss Program
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The first phase of the study is a feasibility survey of eligible participants, completed prior to initiating the intervention. The intervention consists of a 6-month 1:1 randomized trial with a waitlist control that recruits 120 older AA women. The rationale for these aims is that the successful completion is expected to provide evidence that a community-based, peer-led weight loss program with a national infrastructure can help a vulnerable, underserved population lose weight and improve their physical function. For older, obese, frail individuals, this could improve their CVD risk factors, quality of life, enhance their health; reduce their healthcare utilization, illness, and disability; and decrease their adverse geriatric outcomes. After completing these aims, the investigators expect that they will have proven that the community-based, peer-led weight loss program can improve both weight and physical function among older, obese AA women. This also could help other demographic groups with obesity and poor physical function. Eventually, it could help older adults maintain their health and independence in the community
