肥胖是一个普遍的卫生保健问题，与残疾，过早死亡和高成本有关。行为体重管理干预导致超重和肥胖个体临床上显著的体重减轻;然而，由于有限的访问、成本和/或时间限制，许多个体无法参与这些面对面的治疗。技术进步，如互联网的广泛接入，智能手机的使用增加，以及更新的行为自我监测工具，导致了各种电子健康体重管理计划的发展。在本文件中，提供了最新文献的摘要，沿着提供了方法学挑战的潜在解决方案（例如，高损耗、参与者种族/民族多样性最小、技术交付模式的异质性）。传播和政策的影响将突出电子健康体重管理领域的未来方向。
Obesity is a prevalent health care issue associated with disability, premature morality, and high costs. Behavioral weight management interventions lead to clinically significant weight losses in overweight and obese individuals; however, many individuals are not able to participate in these face-to-face treatments due to limited access, cost, and/or time constraints. Technological advances such as widespread access to the Internet, increased use of smartphones, and newer behavioral self-monitoring tools have resulted in the development of a variety of eHealth weight management programs. In the present paper, a summary of the most current literature is provided along with potential solutions to methodological challenges (e.g., high attrition, minimal participant racial/ethnic diversity, heterogeneity of technology delivery modes). Dissemination and policy implications will be highlighted as future directions for the field of eHealth weight management.
