肥胖是一种公共健康危机，已经达到了流行的程度。虽然密集的行为干预可以在临床上产生显著的减肥效果，但其实施成本，加上资源限制，对可伸缩性构成了重大障碍。为了克服这些挑战，研究人员试图将干预内容转移到互联网和其他移动设备上。这篇文章系统地回顾了最近的文献，考察了超重和肥胖成年人中由技术支持的减肥和维持体重的干预措施。确定了13项符合我们纳入标准的研究(12项减肥试验，1项体重维持试验)。我们的发现表明，科技干预在减肥方面可能是有效的。然而，一些研究受到方法论缺陷的限制。目前还没有足够的数据来评估它们维持体重的效果。需要采用最先进的方法进行进一步的研究，并仔细注意对干预方案的遵守和忠诚度。
Obesity is a public health crisis that has reached epidemic proportions. Although intensive behavioral interventions can produce clinically significant weight loss, their cost to implement, coupled with resource limitations, pose significant barriers to scalability. To overcome these challenges, researchers have made attempts to shift intervention content to the Internet and other mobile devices. This article systematically reviews the recent literature examining technology-supported interventions for weight loss and maintenance among overweight and obese adults. Thirteen studies were identified that satisfied our inclusion criteria (12 weight loss trials, 1 weight maintenance trial). Our findings suggest that technology interventions may be efficacious at producing weight loss. However, several studies are limited by methodologic shortcomings. There are insufficient data to evaluate their efficacy for weight maintenance. Further research is needed that employs state-of-the-art methodology, with careful attention being paid to adherence and fidelity to intervention protocols.
