Brief summary
The aim of the research study will be assess the effectiveness of a long-term interdisciplinary lifestyle in many aspects including food intake, psychological symptoms, physical activity habits, energy expenditure, body composition and anthropometric measurements in adults obese.
Detailed description
Participants will be recruited after dissemination of the program in the local media and internet. They will go through a short interview to evaluate inclusion and exclusion criteria. Thus, all obese adults will be submitted to an interdisciplinary lifestyle modification therapy according the inclusion criteria. The interdisciplinary therapy will consist of nutritional, physical exercise, psychological and physiotherapy support during the course of one year, according the literature the investigators promote a long term therapy to control obesity and metabolic diseases. The participants will be evaluated at baseline and after the therapy in accordance with Ethical guidelines. The main purpose of this therapy is to enhance the quality of life of the participants promoting an active lifestyle and quality of life, adherence a healthy nutritional habits and a healthy weight loss. Our focus will be on teaching strategies to maintain a healthy life style behaviors after therapy, our protocol is in agreement with public health field in this way.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALInterdisciplinary Therapy
The nutrition intervention will consist of group meetings and prescription of individual diets. Participants will have dietary lessons, with information related to the improvement of food consumption and nutritional quality. Exercise program will be focused on improving activity habits, leading to increased energy expenditure. They will undergo training sessions containing aerobic and resistance training. In Psychological program, participants will be monitored in the support group and, if necessary, individual psychological therapy is recommended. The sessions will discuss common psychological aspects commonly associated with obesity (depression, anxiety, stress, family problems, body image, eating disorders and others). The physiotherapy interventions aim to increase functional capacity.
