Older adults and their complications with obesity have been studied in weight management programs with technological interventions. One such study involved a 6-month rural community-based video-conferencing intervention for adults above 65 years with a BMI greater than 30kg. Better physical mobility and functioning were observed with technology-induced intervention in their homes, which was also acceptable.

Most of the data is present for the overweight US population and not specifically for men. They are at more risk for cardiovascular diseases and need self-management, preventive care, and a healthy lifestyle for weight loss. An investigation was carried out with 80 men for a 6-month randomized control trial using mobile technology plus intervention. The study still has to reveal results and analysis; however, it is a valuable source for calculating intake of fruit and vegetables, carbonated drinks consumption and kinds of regular foods intake, conducting physical exercise daily, blood pressure rate and pulse condition along with initial BMI and height measurements for men in pursuing weight loss and reducing this segments proportion for obesity.

…weight-loss interventions to prevent obesity-related morbidity and mortality in adults: US Preventive Task Force recommendation statement. JAMA. 2018;320(11), 1163-1171. doi:10.1001/jama.2018.13022To ensure that proportion of obese adults is significantly reduced, appropriate screening is necessary. For this purpose, US Preventive Services Task Force updated the recommendations for screening obese adults. The interventions were in primary care settings, excluding surgical operations. The results showed that behavioral interventions posed the most significant results in reducing obesity and further produced positive health outcomes for diabetes 2 patients. The recommended body mass index (BMI) for a healthy weight is 30kg.
