Abstract

Objective

We evaluated the short-term effects of a mindfulness-based program (MBP) on weight loss through lifestyle modification in infertile women who were overweight or obese.

Methods

The participants were randomly assigned to 8 consecutive weekly sessions of MBP plus diet or diet alone. Both groups received a customized dietary plan. Body measures were taken and a questionnaire was applied to evaluate dietary habits at baseline and three months later.

Results

The study was completed by 28 women in the MBP group and 24 in the control group. Body weight decreased 1.8 kg (2.1%) in the MBP group (p = 0.001, follow-up vs. baseline) and 1.7 kg (1.9%) in the control group (p = 0.035). There was an average reduction of 2.9 cm of waist circumference in the MBP group (p = 0.008) and 0.3 cm in the control group (p = 0.633). There was a significant reduction in the daily energy intake of the women attending the MBP (mean difference −430 Kcal/day, p=0.010) whereas no significant change was observed in the control group.

Conclusion

In the short term, this MBP did not affect weight loss in infertile women, but the MBP intervention contributed to reduce waist circumference, possibly due to a significant decrease in food energy intake.

支持不孕妇女改变生活方式和减轻体重的正念计划：随机对照试验

摘要

客观的

我们评估了基于正念的计划 (MBP) 通过改变生活方式对超重或肥胖的不孕女性的体重减轻的短期影响。

方法

参与者被随机分配到连续 8 次每周一次的 MBP 加饮食或单独饮食。两组都接受了定制的饮食计划。采取了身体测量，并应用了一份问卷来评估基线和三个月后的饮食习惯。

结果

该研究由 MBP 组的 28 名女性和对照组的 24 名女性完成。MBP 组体重下降 1.8 kg (2.1%)（p  = 0.001，随访与基线），对照组体重下降 1.7 kg (1.9%) ( p  = 0.035)。MBP 组腰围平均减少 2.9 厘米（p  = 0.008），对照组平均减少 0.3 厘米（p  = 0.633）。参加 MBP 的女性的每日能量摄入显着减少（平均差 -430 Kcal/天，p = 0.010），而对照组未观察到显着变化。

结论

在短期内，这种 MBP 不会影响不孕女性的体重减轻，但 MBP 干预有助于减少腰围，这可能是由于食物能量摄入量显着减少。
