Efficacy of Continuous Care Model Implementation on Body Mass Index and Lifestyle of Middle-aged Obese People

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of continuous care model application on body mass index (BMI) and lifestyle of middle-aged obese.

105 obese middle-aged were selected and assigned randomly to two groups. The data were collected using a meter, scale, and Walker health promotion lifestyle questionnaire (HPLP II). participants completed the questionnaire before undergoing the intervention, one, two, and three months after the intervention.

There was no significant difference between the experimental and control groups before the intervention considering all of the studied variables. However, a significant difference was observed between groups after the intervention in terms of lifestyle dimensions and obesity control performance.

Considering the results of current study, the continuous care model can be effective for improving the lifestyle and health of middle-aged obese. Therefore, this model is recommended as a framework to design an overweight and obesity prevention plan.
