Effect evaluation of online lifestyle intervention on women with infertility and central obesity / 预防医学

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To evaluate the effect of online lifestyle intervention based on cognitive behavior adjustment on the female patients with infertility and central obesity. @*Methods@#From November 2019 to November 2020, the women with infertility and central obesity in the Reproductive Medicine Center of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital were recruited and divided into two groups. The intervention group received online lifestyle intervention based on cognitive behavior adjustment for twelve weeks, and the control group received routine health education. Body weight, waist circumference, fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), body fat, the pregnancy rate and the abortion rate were compared between the two groups. @*Results@#There were 78 cases each in the intervention group and the control group, aged (31.15±4.87) years and (31.17±4.81) years, respectively. There were no significant differences between the two groups in age, body weight, body mass index, waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR and body fat percentage before intervention (all P>0.05). After twelve-week intervention, the results of mixed effect model showed that the decrease of waist circumference, fasting insulin and body fat percentage in the intervention group were greater than those in the control group (all P<0.05). After six-month follow-up, there was no significant differences in the pregnancy rate (33.33% vs. 23.08%) and the abortion rate (7.69% vs. 16.67%) between the two groups (both P>0.05). @*Conclusion@#Online lifestyle intervention based on cognitive behavior adjustment helps to control central obesity and hyperinsulinemia.
