Integrate that information to create an intervention designed to address the health promotion issue.<\/p>\n

In the first weeks of this course, you have identified a health promotion issue and identified a potential intervention. You have also completed a comprehensive review of the literature and now will integrate that information to create an intervention designed to address the health promotion issue. As you create the intervention, try to keep your focus on an intervention that you will be able to evaluate, which is the next and final step in the project. Be sure to include all feedback from your instructor in each step of the project. By Friday, January 1, 2016, post your strategies for addressing the key focus in your community in a two-to-three-page Word document to W4: Assignment 2 Dropbox. Grading Criteria Maximum Points Summarize the intervention plan, incorporating any comments from the facilitator. 15 Discuss the potential formative and summative approaches to the evaluation. 25 Provide the details of the evaluation plan, including tools, process, and any data analysis. 25 Followed APA guidelines 10 Total: 75.<\/p>\n

The consequences of obesity among older adults are significant, yet few obesity interventions target this group. Unfamiliarity with weight loss intervention effectiveness and concerns that weight loss negatively affects older adults may be inhibiting targeting this group. This paper reviews the evidence on intentional weight loss and effective weight loss interventions for obese older adults to help dispel concerns and guide health promotion practice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Study Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria<\/h3>\n

Randomized controlled trials examining behavioral and pharmaceutical weight loss strategies with 1-year follow-up targeting obese (body mass index \u226530) older adults (mean age \u226560 years), and studies with quasi-experimental designs examining surgical weight loss strategies targeting older adults were examined.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Data Extraction
\n\"\"<\/h3>\n

Abstracts were reviewed for study objective relevancy, with relevant articles extracted and reviewed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Data Synthesis
\n\"\"<\/h3>\n

Data were inserted into an analysis matrix.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Results<\/h3>\n

Evidence indicates behavioral strategies are effective in producing significant (all p < .05) weight loss without significant risk to obese older adults, but effectiveness evidence for surgical and pharmaceutical strategies for obese older adults is lacking, primarily because this group has not been targeted in trials or analyses did not isolate this group.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

These findings support the promotion of intentional weight loss among obese older adults and provide guidance to health promotion practitioners on effective weight loss interventions to use with this group.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
