Summary

This study tested a weight loss program designed for people with long-term mobility problems, like those using wheelchairs. The goal was to help participants lose weight and be more active to lower their risk of chronic diseases. 67 overweight adults with mobility impairments took part in the program or a waitlist group. The program focused on healthy eating and physical activity adapted to their abilities.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * being over 18 years old, * having a permanent mobility impairment for at least 1 year, * being overweight as evidenced by BMI \> 25 or the equivalent value recommended for spinal cord injury and amputee populations, * having sufficient upper arm mobility to engage in exercise, having access to a telephone, and * obtaining physician signed clearance to participate in the weight management intervention. Exclusion Criteria: * disabilities for which cognitive impairment substantially impairs autonomy (e.g. mental retardation), as determined by a 5-item everyday autonomy scale, * medical issues for which exercise is contraindicated such as uncontrolled hypertension or coronary heart disease, * age 75 or older, * pregnancy, and * not fluent in English language. The upper age cut off is intended to ensure that the sample consists of a population whose permanent mobility impairment is unrelated to aging. Pregnancy is excluded because it is directly related to weight gain.
