A Postpartum Weight Loss-Focused Stepped-Care Intervention in a Military Population: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Abstract
Postpartum weight retention is associated with adverse health and career-related outcomes among both civilian and military women. The current study evaluated a stepped-care weight management intervention (Moms Fit 2 Fight) adapted for use in a pregnant military population. Method: Active-duty women and other TRICARE beneficiaries (N = 430) were randomized to one of three conditions: gestational weight gain only (GWG-only) intervention (n =144),postpartum weight loss (PPWL)-only intervention (n =142), or a combined GWG+PPWL intervention (n = 144). Those participants who received the PPWL intervention were compared to those who participants who did not receive this intervention in the primary analyses. Primary outcome data (i.e., postpartum weight retention) was obtained at 6-months postpartum.
