Ebesity – E-Health for Obesity – New Technologies for the Treatment of Obesity In Clinical Psychology and Medicine
Open accessAbstract
The spread of obesity (globesity) has been declared a worldwide epidemic by the World Health Organization (WHO).More than 1 billion adults are overweight and at least 315 million are clinically obese.This epidemic has generated an unlimited array of weight-loss strategies.Obesity is now one of the most important public and clinical problems: "it increases the risk of many health complications such as hypertension, coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes, needs long-lasting treatment for effective results and involves high public and private costs " (p.204, (Castelnuovo et al., 2010)).

From The ACTyourCHANGE study protocol: promoting a healthy lifestyle in patients with obesity with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-a randomized controlled trial. (2021) · cites this paper as [7]
In the main text (page unavailable), the paper says technology-based obesity interventions have shown promising effects on healthy-lifestyle interventions, and it describes a program designed to improve long-term weight-loss maintenance by addressing adherence and self-control. It does not explicitly establish that the programs are effective at promoting healthy-lifestyle adoption or state that maintaining behavioral change remains challenging; the latter is an inference from its discussion of maintenance needs.

From The ACTyourCHANGE study protocol: promoting a healthy lifestyle in patients with obesity with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-a randomized controlled trial. (2021) · cites this paper as [7]
The paper’s main text says obesity needs long-lasting treatment and discusses programs intended to improve weight-loss maintenance. It does not report whether most overweight or obese people who attend rehabilitation programs fail to maintain a healthy lifestyle over time; searches for rehabilitation, long-term maintenance, and failure found no such outcome. (LLM, conf=0.72)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThey regain about one-third of the weight lost over the following year after treatment.
“As a consequence, they regain about one-third of the weight lost over the following year after treatment [7, 8].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
