Abstract：
Dietary and physical activity interventions through smartphone healthcare applications (apps) have recently surged in popularity as effective methods for weight loss. However, the specific factors contributing to successful weight loss remain uncertain. We conducted an analysis of baseline characteristics and app usage frequencies over three months among 68 Japanese adults with overweight and obesity who were assigned to the intervention group in a previous randomized controlled trial. Logistic regression analysis revealed a negative association (OR: 0.248; p = 0.018) between having a walking habit at baseline and successful weight loss, defined as a 3% reduction in initial weight. Additionally, slower walking speeds and family medical history were identified as potential predictors of successful weight loss. These findings offer insights into the profile of individuals who achieve success in weight loss through our smartphone app, providing valuable guidance for the development of future healthcare apps.
摘要：
通过智能手机医疗保健应用程序（应用程序）进行的饮食和身体活动干预措施最近已成为减肥的有效方法。然而,导致成功减肥的具体因素仍不确定.我们对68名超重和肥胖的日本成年人进行了为期三个月的基线特征和应用程序使用频率分析，这些成年人在先前的随机对照试验中被分配到干预组。Logistic回归分析显示，在基线时养成步行习惯与成功减肥之间存在负相关（OR：0.248;p=0.018）。定义为初始重量减少3%。此外,较低的步行速度和家族病史被确定为成功减重的潜在预测因素.这些发现提供了通过我们的智能手机应用程序成功减肥的个人概况的见解，为未来医疗保健应用程序的开发提供有价值的指导。
