Title: Lifestyle Intervention's Effect and Predictive Value on Weight Loss for University Employees
Publication Year: 2020
Journal: West J Nurs Res
Primary study aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the Complete Health Improvement Program (CHIP) intervention on weight, as well as other risk factors including blood pressure, body fat, lipid levels, and A1c.
Secondary aims (if applicable): A secondary aim was to build a preliminary predictive model for computing new participants’ potential weight change from CHIP.

Int: What was the intervention used in this study (1)? intervention promotes whole-food, plant-based eating, daily moderate- to high-intensity physical activity, adequate water intake, as well as stress-reduction practices (CHIP’s education).
Int: What was the intervention used in this study (2)?
Participants are encouraged to engage in self-monitoring,
goal-setting, and problem-solving to help counter internal and external resistance to change

Study outcome 1: Weight
Outcome group 1: weight/adiposity
Study outcome 2: BMI
Outcome group 2: weight/adiposity
Study outcome 3: Body fat mass & percentage
Outcome group 3: weight/adiposity
Study outcome 4: Systolic BP
Outcome group 4: cardiovascular
Study outcome 5: Diastolic BP
Outcome group 5: cardiovascular
Study outcome 6: TC, LDL, HDL, TG
Outcome group 6: cardiovascular
Study outcome 7: A1c
Outcome group 7: Other: 1f3020eb-0b3e-400a-bb64-8d8dfb30842d
Key conclusion: Significant reductions were observed in weight, diastolic BP, total cholesterol, LDL, and A1c. Regression analyses indicated the best linear model for predicting change in weight was a one-predictor model with systolic blood pressure. The CHIP intervention effectively promoted weight loss and meaningful reductions in chronic disease risk factors.
