MOWI Research Pilot
The goal of this study is to conduct a program of pilot research aimed at developing and evaluating a technology-assisted wellness intervention for older adults with obesity.
The national epidemic of obesity is also affecting older adults, and is associated with an increased risk of disability, nursing home placement and early mortality. Conventional weight loss programs have the potential to reduce body fat, but are difficult to access for older obese adults due to transportation and mobility challenges. The overarching goal of this study is to conduct a program of pilot research aimed at developing and evaluating a technology assisted wellness intervention for older adults with obesity.
