In this study, team medical care that focused on weight loss was conducted over a 3-month period for obese women. The intervention was based on individual interviews regarding action modification. In addition, a system supported by a university in cooperation with a private healthcare facility was constructed with the goal of monitoring the participant's body weight and physical activity for 2 years. Following the 3-month program, the participant's body weight reduction was maintained for 2 years and her body fat percentage remained almost the same. The present trial demonstrated that team medical care was suitable for the individual and facilitated improvement in lifestyle habits that were maintained over a long term. These findings should provide useful suggestions for future health guidance.
