墨西哥裔美国人是肥胖及其相关健康后果（包括糖尿病、心脏病和癌症）风险最高的群体之一。从墨西哥驻纽约领事馆招募的 154 名超重/肥胖墨西哥裔美国人参加了 COMIDA (Consumo de Opciones Más Ideales De Alimentos)（吃更理想的食物选择），这是一项为期 12 周的西班牙语生活方式干预项目，其中包括饮食咨询会议、减肥资源和每周三次的短信。参与者的体重（主要结果）；在干预前后评估饮食摄入量、体力活动和营养知识（次要结果）。在 109 名完成随访的人中，28% 的人体重减轻了基线体重的 5%。干预后，参与者食用更多的水果，减少苏打水、甜糕点、油炸食品和红肉；增加体力活动；并证明了更多的营养知识。使用短信等自动化组件进行基于社区的生活方式干预可能是解决服务不足人群超重/肥胖问题的一种可扩展且经济有效的方法。© 2023。作者获得 Springer Science Business Media, LLC 的独家许可，施普林格自然的一部分。

Mexican Americans are among the highest risk groups for obesity and its associated health consequences, including diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. 154 overweight/obese Mexican Americans recruited from the Mexican Consulate in New York City were enrolled in COMIDA (Consumo de Opciones Más Ideales De Alimentos) (Eating More Ideal Food Options), a 12-week Spanish-language lifestyle intervention that included a dietary counseling session, weight-loss resources, and thrice-weekly text messages. Participants' weight (primary outcome); dietary intake, physical activity, and nutrition knowledge (secondary outcomes) were assessed pre- and post-intervention. Of the 109 who completed follow-up, 28% lost ≥ 5% of their baseline body weight. Post-intervention, participants consumed more fruit and less soda, sweet pastries, fried foods and red meat; increased physical activity; and evidenced greater nutrition knowledge. A community-based lifestyle intervention with automated components such as text messaging may be a scalable, cost-effective approach to address overweight/obesity among underserved populations.© 2023.
