Empowering Healthy Lifestyle Behaviour Through Personalized Intervention Portfolios to Prevent and Control Obesity During Vulnerable Stages of Life: The HealthyW8 Project.
The goal of the HealthyW8 study (an intervention study) is:
To assess the usefulness and effects of a digital-based healthy lifestyle recommender system (HRLS) on the prevention of obesity in the following propulations: schoolchildren (5-10 y) and their parents, young adults (18-25 y) and elders (>65 y).
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Outcome 1: To select and validate a tool-assisted 3-mo intervention (mostly digital) by iteratively testing the HLRS on reducing risk of overweight/obesity among the described age groups.
Outcome 2: To assess the effect of 1-y interventions (mostly digital) with the HLRS described and further iteratively improved previously (outcome 1) on reducing risk of overweight/obesity at described ages.
Researchers will compare the intervention group before the intervention (baseline) and after it (3-mo intervention trial), or control group (standard care) vs. Intervention group (1-y intervention) to see changes on changes in overweight/obesity, and related parameters (body composition and biomarkers).
Participants will follow the HLRS recommendations (meal plans, physical activity and sleep pattern measures and recommendations, assessment of behavioural/psychological aspects, and motivational features through digital devices), which will be assessed by means of measurement of body weight, body composition, and biomarkers.
Inclusion: Overweight (BMI between 25-30 kg/m\^2); To have a smart phone.
Exclusion: Individuals with manifest chronic diseases; Individuals with cognitive diseases; Individuas not able to lead an independent life.
