Summary
Obesity has been linked to several serious medical conditions, including high blood pressure, diabetes, and poor cholesterol levels. For this reason, obesity is likely the most important single contributor to cardiovascular mortality in the United States. Fortunately, intensive weight management programs are an effective treatment for obesity. Such programs help people lose weight and improve their measures of cardiac risk. In response to the growing numbers of obese Veterans being treated at Veterans Health Administration (VHA) facilities, the VHA developed the MOVE! Program. Veterans who commit to MOVE! and participate actively do lose weight. Unfortunately, MOVE!, like other weight management programs, requires its participants to attend classes and to exercise, often at locations and times that are inconvenient. The investigators propose to make it easier for eligible patients at the Zablocki Veterans Affairs Medical Center (ZVAMC) to participate by offering MOVE-style classes and exercise groups at a variety of locations, days, and times. The investigators' program-MOVE OUT-may provide a model for VHA to use nationwide.
