关于自我称重频率和体重增加预防之间的关系知之甚少，特别是在工作场所人群中。自我称重频率预测工作成年人2年体重变化的程度进行了检查。自我称重频率和体重增加预防之间的关系，在前瞻性队列分析中分析了（每月或更少、每周、每天或更多）和24个月的体重变化（n = 1，222）作为HealthWorks大型试验的一部分。随访自我称重频率和基线体重指数之间存在显著的相互作用。体重变化的差异范围从肥胖者每天自我称重的体重减轻-4.4 +/-0.8公斤到健康体重的参与者每月自我称重的体重增加2.1 +/-0.4公斤。更频繁的自我称重似乎对肥胖者最有益。这些发现可能有助于改进体重管理干预措施中使用的自我称重频率建议。
Little is known about the association between self-weighing frequency and weight gain prevention, particularly in worksite populations.The degree to which self-weighing frequency predicted 2-year body weight change in working adults was examined.The association between self-weighing frequency (monthly or less, weekly, daily, or more) and 24-month weight change was analyzed in a prospective cohort analysis (n = 1,222) as part of the larger HealthWorks trial.There was a significant interaction between follow-up self-weighing frequency and baseline body mass index. The difference in weight change ranged from -4.4 +/- 0.8 kg weight loss among obese daily self-weighers to 2.1 +/- 0.4 kg weight gain for participants at a healthy weight who reported monthly self-weighing.More frequent self-weighing seemed to be most beneficial for obese individuals. These findings may aid in the refinement of self-weighing frequency recommendations used in the context of weight management interventions.
