Psychological Impact of a “Health-at-Every-Size” Intervention on Weight-Preoccupied Overweight/Obese Women

摘要: The aim of the present study was to assess impact a “Health-at-every-size” (HAES) intervention on psychological variables and body weight weight-preoccupied overweight/obese women. Those women were randomized into three groups (1) HAES, (2) social support (SS), (3) waiting-list (WL), tested at baseline, post-treatment six-month one-year follow-ups. All participants presented significant improvement no matter if they received HAES or not. However, even during intervention, showed improvements, follow up, group continued improve while other did not, sometimes experiencing some deterioration. Furthermore, in only, participant's maintenance 12 months after related their (quality life, dissatisfaction, binge eating) intervention. Thus, if, short-term, our not show distinctive effects compared SS WL all variables, long-term, seemed different trajectory as are maintained continue improve, which case groups. These differential long-term still need be documented further empirically demonstrated.
