About this study

Official title: Mobility and Vitality Lifestyle Program-Sustainability

In prior research the investigators have shown that the Mobility and Vitality Lifestyle Program for healthy aging and weight management (MOVE UP) was effective in producing a mean loss of >= 5% body weight, with increased physical activity and reduced fatigue. The current study will pilot a modified and streamlined program to see if it will be similarly effective.

Read the detailed description

The investigators aim to test feasibility of Community Health Worker delivery of a modified and streamlined lifestyle program in volunteer community settings and to provide pilot data to inform the design of future randomized controlled trials that may improve physical and mental health in older adults. The current objective is to:

  1. Adapt and pilot the previously studied 32-session, 13-month MOVE UP intervention to a streamlined 12-session (4-month) community-based translational behavioral weight management program. The pilot program will be delivered by trained Community Health Workers (CHWs).
  2. Implement and evaluate the program's impact on weight and healthy lifestyle changes, including physical performance outcomes, at 2 sites, each with at least 6 eligible obese adults ages 60-75 years old.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MOVE UPBehavioural

    Each of the 12-group-sessions will focus on incremental behavioral strategies for maintaining recommended healthy eating, activity, and weight loss behaviors. Participants will monitor body weight and weight loss behaviors. Body weight will be measured at each in-person session and participants will also be encouraged to measure their body weight on their own. Beginning in Session 3, participants are given a home physical activity goal of 10 minutes/day, 50 minutes/week. The goal is raised by 5 minutes/day, 25 minutes/week every other session, the final goal being 30 minutes/day, 150 minutes/week. All subjects will be recommended to engage in an energy restricted dietary intervention that evidence demonstrates has effectively reduced body weight by 5-7% within the initial 4 months of the intervention. This will include reducing energy intake to 1200 to 1800 kcal/d based on initial body weight (<200 pounds = 1200 kcal/d; 200 to 250 pounds = 1500 kcal/d; >250 pounds = 1800 kcal/d).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Body weight change from Baseline to 4 months

    Number of participants with at least a 5% decrease in body weight from baseline at 4 months

    Measured: 4 months

Secondary outcomes (3)

  1. Change in objectively measured physical function from Baseline to 4 months

    Observed performance measure using SPPB. Scores range from 0 (worst performance) to 12 (best performance)

    Measured: 4 months

  2. Change in objectively measured physical function from Baseline to 4 months

    Self-reports using CHAMPS. Score range is 0- 793, with higher scores indicating greater physical activity.

    Measured: 4 months

  3. Change in psychosocial measures from Baseline to 4 months

    Self-report using CES-D. Score range 0-60, in which higher scores suggest a greater presence of depressive symptoms.

    Measured: 4 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MOVE UP in people with Body Weight and Diet, Healthy, run by University of Pittsburgh at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Dec 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Body weight change from Baseline to 4 months (time frame: 4 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03963830, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Dec 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
