项目摘要

The general puposes of the proposed study are to utilize social cognitive theory to: 1) investigate weight loss maintenance among minority and non-minority persons after completion of the parent behavioral weight loss intervention study and 2) identify the possible differences between minorities and non-minorities in adherence to weight loss strategies for weight maintenance. The primary aims are:1) to examine differences between groups in the percentage of weight loss maintained following completion of the parent study, 2) to explore the differences in behavioral strategies used to maintain weight loss, and 3) to assess the specific predictors of successful weight maintenance. Secondary aims are to describe the roles of social support and stress in weight maintenance for minority and non-minority persons. Descriptive statistics will examine behavioral strategies;paired t-tests will compare mean weight change between groups, and multiple linear regression will analyze predictors of weight maintenance (or not) to meet the aims of the proposed study. Results will be used to develop future, culturally sensitive studies for minority populations assisting in weight maintenance in order to decrease co-morbidities associated with obesity and resultant healthcare costs.

本研究的总体目的是利用社会认知理论来：1）研究减肥父母行为减肥完成后少数民族和非少数民族的赡养费干预研究和 2）确定少数群体和非少数群体之间可能存在的差异坚持减肥策略以维持体重。主要目的是：1）检查差异完成母研究后，各组之间保持体重减轻的百分比，2) 探索用于维持减肥的行为策略的差异，以及 3) 评估具体的成功维持体重的预测因素。次要目标是描述社会支持和少数民族和非少数民族维持体重的压力。描述性统计将检查行为策略；配对 t 检验将比较各组之间的平均体重变化，以及多重线性回归将分析体重维持（或不维持）的预测因素，以满足拟议研究的目标。结果将用于开展未来的、文化敏感的研究，针对少数族群辅助减肥维持，以减少与肥胖相关的并发症和由此产生的医疗费用。
