Abstract:

Context. An instrument is needed to facilitate a brief, but effective, counseling interaction between a patient and a provider. Such an instrument should raise patients’ awareness of their behavioral patterns and indicate their likelihood of weight loss statistically. Objective. To determine if the Lifestyle Questionnaire–Weight Management (LQ-WM) contains statistical properties that discriminate subjects’ weight trajectories. Design and Participants. A convenience sample of 269 college students at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, were administered the LQ-WM and a weight history questionnaire. Main Outcome Measure. A Lifestyle Score was created by subtracting the amount of self-reported unhealthy behaviors from the amount of healthy behaviors in the previous week. Results. The Lifestyle Score was significantly different among subjects who reported recently losing, maintaining, or gaining weight recently (P < .001) and in the previous year (P < .05). The Lifestyle Score was also significantly different among individuals losing weigh rapidly, moderately, and slowly (P < .05). Conclusions. This pilot study of the statistical properties of the LQ-WM supports that higher Lifestyle Scores associate with weight loss cross-sectionally. Future studies should examine its statistical properties longitudinally and with diverse samples to assess its suitability for clinical practice
