Efficacy of Continuous Care Model Implementation on Body Mass Index and Lifestyle of Middle-aged Obese People

Background: This study aimed to determine the effect of continuous care model application on body mass index and lifestyle of middle-aged obese people. Methods: A total of 105 obese middle-aged people were selected and randomly assigned to two groups. The study data were collected using a meter, scale, and the Walker Health Promotion Lifestyle questionnaire (HPLP II). The participants completed the questionnaire before and one, two, and three months after the intervention Results: There was no significant difference between the experimental and control groups before the intervention considering all studied variables. However, a significant difference was observed between groups after the intervention regarding lifestyle dimensions and obesity control performance. Conclusion: Our study showed that the continuous care model could effectively improve the lifestyle and health of middle-aged obese people. Therefore, this model is recommended as a framework to design an overweight and obesity prevention plan.
