Over 25% of Chinese adult females and more than a third of males are overweight or obese and rates are highest in urban areas such as Beijing. By 2015, overweight/obesity prevalence in China may reach 50% , thus imposing a heavy toll on chronic disease rates and health care costs. Despite these pressing public health challenges, very few obesity intervention studies have been conducted among Chinese adults.\n\nDuke University and Peking University have partnered to implement an intervention to address these rapid changes in weight. 124 participants in Beijing will be randomly assigned to either: (1) usual care (UC), or; (2) a 6-month weight loss (WL) intervention condition. The primary outcome is weight change (kg) at 6 months post-baseline. Secondary outcomes include change in blood pressure, weight circumference, dietary intake, physical activity, and psychosocial mediators at 6 months post-baseline.\n\nParticipants randomized to the intervention arm will receive a series of components, delivered over 6 months: personalized behavior change goals to be self-monitored via text messaging, group "starter" counseling sessions, and personalized individual counseling. Each participant will also receive a pedometer to facilitate self-monitoring. These are evidence-based approaches, drawn from the investigators\' collective research experience.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '55 Years', 'minimumAge': '35 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* BMI ≥ 24,\n* age 30-55 years\n* current use of a mobile phone\n* interest in losing weight.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Pregnancy or plans to become pregnant within 10 months of recruitment\n* current lactation\n* occurrence of a major cardiovascular disease (e.g., myocardial infarction or stroke in the past 6 months)\n* other serious medical conditions that contraindicate weight loss (e.g., end-stage renal disease on dialysis, cancer diagnosis or treatment in past 2 years)\n* blood pressure ≥ 160/100 mm Hg\n* type 2 diabetes or controlled by lifestyle only\n* use of medications known to increase body weight\n* substance abuse; psychiatric illness, including major depression, which could interfere with study adherence\n* prior or planned bariatric surgery\n* use of weight loss medications or weight loss ≥ 5% of initial weight in past 6 months\n* plans to relocate in next 10 months'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT01491906', 'briefTitle': 'Weight Loss Among Adults in Beijing, China', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Duke University'}, 'officialTitle': 'Weight Loss Among Adults in Beijing, China', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'A0458'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Text-Messaging', 'description': 'The group that receives the behavioral counseling and text messaging lifestyle intervention', 'interventionNames': ['Behavioral: Text Messaging and Behavior Counseling']}, {'type': 'NO_INTERVENTION', 'label': 'Usual Care', 'description': 'This group will receive usual care'}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Text Messaging and Behavior Counseling', 'type': 'BEHAVIORAL', 'description': 'Participants randomized to the intervention arm will receive a series of components, delivered over 6 months: personalized behavior change goals to be self-monitored via text messaging, group "starter" counseling sessions, and personalized individual counseling.
