  1. Meta-Analysis of Anthropometric Outcomes of Motivational Physical Activity Interventions Jo-Ana D. Chase MN APN-BC Todd Ruppar PhD RN GCNS-BC Lorraine J. Phillips PhD RN Vicki S. Conn PhD RN FAAN University of Missouri Sinclair School of Nursing

  2. Acknowledgements • Parent study and funding: Meta-analysis of interventions to increase exercise/physical activity (R01NR009656, Dr. Vicki Conn – Principal Investigator)

  3. Background • Prevalence of obesity increasing • Obesity linked with multiple chronic illnesses (Guh, et al, 2009; Suzuki, Orsini, Safi, Key, & Wolk, 2009) • Inadequate physical activity (PA) contributes to epidemic of obesity (Rossner, et al., 2008; Wareham, van Slujs, & Ekelund, 2005) • Many interventions designed to motivate subjects to increase PA have also examined anthropometric outcomes

  4. Background • Prior meta-analyses of PA anthropometric outcomes • Limited with no moderator analysis • No separation of outcomes for diet or PA interventions • Most comprehensive meta-analysis of PA on anthropometric outcomes – Ballor and Keesey, 1991

  5. Research Questions • What is the overall effect of interventions designed to motivate subjects to increase PA on anthropometric outcomes? • Do anthropometric effects of these interventions vary depending on intervention, sample, or design attributes?

  6. Methods • Comprehensive search  motivational PA intervention studies reporting anthropometric outcomes (e.g., BMI, percent body fat, central obesity) in healthy adult subjects • “Motivational PA intervention” = any deliberate intervention intended to motivate subjects to increase PA behavior, excluding supervised exercise sessions

  7. Methods – Data Extraction • Coding frame developed from prior, related research and pilot tested • Study characteristics (e.g., published/unpublished, funding) • Sample characteristics (e.g., age, gender) • Intervention characteristics (e.g., dose, delivery) • Effect size information

  8. Methods – Data Extraction • Studies coded by two independent and extensively trained coders • Coders compared all variables to reach consensus • All effect size data independently verified by doctorally prepared researcher

  9. Methods - Analysis • Standardized mean difference effect sizes (ES, d) under random-effects model • Studies weighted by inverse of the variance • Heterogeneity examined: Q statistic and I2 • Exploratory moderator analyses – meta-analytic analogues of ANOVA (dichotomous moderators) and regression (continuous moderators) d = meantreatment - meancontrol Pooled standard deviation

  10. Study Characteristics • Reviewed 54,642 potentially eligible reports • ES calculated from data for 94,711 subjects • Two group comparisons: • 76 comparisons • 94,711 subjects • Single group, treatment pre-post comparisons • 436 comparisons • 56,258 subjects

  11. Sample Characteristics • Sample sizes • Two group: median 56 subjects • Single group: median 52 subjects • Percent female: median 81% • Percent minority: median 15% • Baseline BMI: median 27-30 kg/m2

  12. Intervention Characteristics • Number of intervention strategies: median 3 • Total number of intervention minutes: median 720 minutes • Recommended minutes of PA per session: median 30 minutes • Recommended minutes of PA per week: median 140 minutes

  13. Results – Anthropometric Outcomes k=number of comparisons ES=effect size p=test of statistical significance for effect size I2=index of heterogeneity beyond within-study sampling error

  14. Effect Size Meanings • Converted ES to original metrics – weight (kg) and BMI • Mean difference of 1.3 kg between treatment and control subjects at outcome • BMI difference of 0.4 between treatment and control subjects at outcome (ex. 27 vs. 27.4)

  15. Results – Moderator Analyses • Larger ESs for interventions using transtheoretical model (TTM) (d=0.21) vs. social cognitive theory (SCT) (d=0.07) • Studies with mean ages in 30s and early 60s demonstrated higher ESs than studies with other age groups • Studies recommending walking were not more effective in improving anthropometric outcomes than studies recommending other forms of exercise

  16. Limitations • Study specific • Anthropometric measurement error • Low reporting of ethnic diversity among samples • Long-term results not often examined • Study quality and treatment fidelity • Meta-analysis specific • Exclusion of studies based on insufficient information • Findings observational • Moderator analyses – hypothesis generating

  17. Discussion • Findings support significant improvements in anthropometric outcomes associated with motivational PA interventions • Future research to directly compare TTM-based to SCT-based interventions • Future research to test interventions recommending varied forms of PA (not just walking)
