BACKGROUND In the U.S., Hispanic women experience a disproportionate rate of obesity and obesity-related chronic diseases. At the same time, Hispanic women remain considerably underrepresented in behavioral weight loss interventions. The purpose of this review is to systematically evaluate the evidence related to the effectiveness of weight loss interventions among Hispanic women in the U.S. This review will identify elements of successful weight loss interventions as well as areas for future research. METHODS/DESIGN The following databases will be searched to identify all relevant articles (from inception onwards): PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science (Science Citation Index and Social Sciences Citation Index), PsycINFO, CINAHL, Chicano Database, SPORTDiscus, CAB Abstracts, and Google Scholar. We will include randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies of adult women (> 18 years) from Hispanic/Latino background living in the United States. Eligible interventions will target weight-related behaviors (including diet, physical activity, behavior modification and/or their combinations). The review's primary outcome will be weight change (expressed as change in lbs/kg or body mass index (BMI) (kg/m2)). Three reviewers will independently screen and select data and two will extract data. The methodological quality (or risk of bias) of individual studies will be appraised using the Effective Public Health Practice Project Quality Assessment Tool. A narrative synthesis will describe quality and content of the evidence. DISCUSSION The aim of this systematic review is to critically examine existing weight loss interventions for Hispanic women in the U.S. and provide quality evidence for the effectiveness of these interventions on weight loss. Further, this review seeks to identify characteristics of effective interventions and suggest future directions for research efforts targeting weight loss in this population. This review will inform the development of future weight loss interventions for this population. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION PROSPERO CRD42019119094.

美国西班牙裔女性的减肥干预措施：系统评价方案。

背景在美国，西班牙裔女性患肥胖症和与肥胖症相关的慢性疾病的比例不成比例。与此同时，西班牙裔女性在行为减肥干预措施中的代表性仍然显着不足。这篇综述的目的是系统地评估与美国西班牙裔女性减肥干预有效性相关的证据。这篇综述将确定成功减肥干预的要素以及未来研究的领域。方法/设计 将搜索以下数据库以识别所有相关文章（从一开始）：PubMed、Embase、Scopus、Web of Science（科学引文索引和社会科学引文索引）、PsycINFO、CINAHL、Chicano 数据库、SPORTDiscus、CAB摘要和谷歌学术。我们将纳入生活在美国的西班牙裔/拉丁裔背景的成年女性（> 18 岁）的随机对照试验和准实验研究。符合条件的干预措施将针对与体重相关的行为（包括饮食、身体活动、行为矫正和/或它们的组合）。审查的主要结果将是体重变化（表示为 lbs/kg 或体重指数 (BMI) (kg/m2) 的变化）。三位评审员将独立筛选和选择数据，两位评审员将提取数据。个别研究的方法学质量（或偏倚风险）将使用有效的公共卫生实践项目质量评估工具进行评估。叙述性综合将描述证据的质量和内容。讨论 本系统评价的目的是严格审查美国现有的针对西班牙裔女性的减肥干预措施，并为这些干预措施对减肥的有效性提供质量证据。此外，本综述旨在确定有效干预措施的特征，并为针对该人群减肥的研究工作提出未来方向。该审查将为该人群未来减肥干预措施的发展提供信息。系统审查注册 PROSPERO CRD42019119094。该审查将为该人群未来减肥干预措施的发展提供信息。系统审查注册 PROSPERO CRD42019119094。该审查将为该人群未来减肥干预措施的发展提供信息。系统审查注册 PROSPERO CRD42019119094。
