Comparing self-reported energy intake using an online dietary tool with energy ...
Vasileiou, Aikaterina; Searle, Dominique; Larsen, Sofus C.; Magkos, Faidon; Horgan, Graham; Stubbs, R. James; Santos, Inês; Palmeira, António L.Objective: The aim of this study was to compare self-reported total energy intake (TEI) collected using an online multiple-pass 24-h dietary recall tool (Intake24) with total energy expenditure (TEE) estimated from Fitbit Charge 2-improved algorithms in adults from the NoHoW trial (12-mo weight maintenance after free-living weight loss). Methods: Bland-Altman plots were used to assess the level of agreement bet...

Encantado, Jorge; Marques, Marta M.; Gouveia, Maria João; Santos, Inês; Sánchez-Oliva, David; O'Driscoll, Ruairi; Turicchi, Jake; Larsen, Sofus C.Background: To date, few digital behavior change interventions for weight loss maintenance focusing on longterm physical activity promotion have used a sound intervention design grounded on a logic model underpinned by behavior change theories. The current study is a secondary analysis of the weight loss maintenance NoHoW trial and investigated putative mediators of device-measured long-term physical activity l...

A Theory- and Evidence-Based Digital Intervention Tool for Weight Loss Maintena...
Marques, Marta M.; Matos, Marcela; Mattila, Elina; Encantado, Jorge; Duarte, Cristiana; Teixeira, Pedro J.; Stubbs, R. James; Sniehotta, Falko F.Many weight loss programs show short-term effectiveness, but subsequent weight loss maintenance is difficult to achieve. Digital technologies offer a promising means of delivering behavior change approaches at low costs and on a wide scale. The Navigating to a Healthy Weight (NoHoW) project, which was funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program, aimed to develop, test, and evalua...
The bioelectrical impedance analysis [BIA] international database: aims, scope,...
Silva, Analiza M; Campa, Francesco; Stagi, Silvia; Gobbo, Luís A.; Buffa, Roberto; Toselli, Stefania; Silva, Diego Augusto SantosBackground: Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a technique widely used for estimating body composition and health-related parameters. The technology is relatively simple, quick, and non-invasive, and is currently used globally in diverse settings, including private clinicians' offices, sports and health clubs, and hospitals, and across a spectrum of age, body weight, and disease states. BIA parameters ca...
Are motivational and self-regulation factors associated with 12 months’ weight ...
Palmeira, António L.; Marques, Marta M.; Sánchez-Oliva, David; Encantado, Jorge; Santos, Inês; Duarte, Cristiana; Matos, MarcelaPurpose: Preventing weight regain can only be achieved by sustained changes in energy balance-related behaviors that are associated with weight, such as diet and physical activity. Changes in motivation and self-regulatory skills can support long-term behavioral changes in the context of weight loss maintenance. We propose that experiencing a supportive climate care is associated with enhanced satisfaction of b...
Providing office workers with height-adjustable workstation to reduce and inter...
Júdice, Pedro B.; Silva, Hélio; Teno, Sabrina C.; Monteiro, Patrícia; Silva, Marlene N.; Carraça, Eliana V.; Santos, Inês; Pereira, Sara; Luz, FilipeBackground: Sedentary behavior (SB) has been linked to several negative health outcomes. Therefore, reducing SB or breaking up prolonged periods of SB improves functional fitness, food consumption, job satisfaction, and productivity. Reducing SB can be achieved by introducing a health-enhancing contextual modification promoted by a sit-stand desk in the workplace. The primary goal will be to test the effectiven...

Encantado, Jorge; Marques, Marta M.; Gouveia, Maria João; Santos, Inês; Sánchez-Oliva, David; O’Driscoll, Ruairi; Turicchi, Jake; Larsen, Sofus C.Background: To date, few digital behavior change interventions for weight loss maintenance focusing on long- term physical activity promotion have used a sound intervention design grounded on a logic model under- pinned by behavior change theories. The current study is a secondary analysis of the weight loss maintenance NoHoW trial and investigated putative mediators of device-measured long-term physical activi...

Mattila, Elina; Hansen, Susanne; Bundgaard, Lise; Ramsey, Lauren; Dunning, Alice; Silva, Marlene N.; Harjumaa, Marja; Ermes, Miikka; Marques, Marta M.Background: Digital behavior change interventions (DBCIs) offer a promising channel for providing health promotion services. However, user experience largely determines whether they are used, which is a precondition for effectiveness. Objective: The primary aim of this study is to evaluate user experiences with the NoHoW Toolkit (TK)—a DBCI that targets weight loss maintenance—over a 12-month period by using a ...
