Abstract：
Evidence-based approaches for weight management in the United Kingdom are lacking. This study examined preferences for behavioural weight-management programmes amongst adults aged eighteen and over in Northern Ireland who had experience living with overweight (i.e., body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m2). It involved the design and implementation of an online survey assessing previous experience with weight management and preferences for future weight-management programmes. A total of 94.7% of participants had previously engaged with weight-management services but many struggled to maintain weight loss. Older adults were more likely to be motivated to reduce their weight whilst younger adults were more likely be motivated to change their appearance. A focus on both wellbeing and weight-related outcomes was evident. Participants preferred programmes to be low-cost, delivered by a range of professionals by blended delivery, consisting of short (≤1 h) weekly sessions. These preferences highlighted important considerations for the components of future services to improve engagement and effectiveness.
摘要：
英国缺乏基于证据的体重管理方法。这项研究调查了北爱尔兰18岁及以上有超重经历的成年人对行为体重管理计划的偏好（即，体重指数（BMI）≥25kg/m2）。它涉及设计和实施一项在线调查，评估以前的体重管理经验和对未来体重管理计划的偏好。共有94.7%的参与者以前曾参与过体重管理服务，但许多人努力保持体重减轻。老年人更有可能有动力减轻体重，而年轻人更有动力改变自己的外表。对健康和体重相关结果的关注是显而易见的。与会者希望方案费用低，由一系列专业人士通过混合交付交付，由短期(≤1小时)每周会议组成。这些偏好强调了未来服务组成部分的重要考虑因素，以提高参与度和效力。
