Weight Loss and Exercise for Communities With Arthritis in North Carolina
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Osteoarthritis
In brief
This study aims to develop and demonstrate the effectiveness of a systematic, practical, cost-effective diet-induced weight loss and exercise intervention in both urban and rural communities that can reduce pain and improve other clinical outcomes in knee OA patients. This pragmatic community-based trial will determine if the investigators previous findings translate to real-world settings and will address common concerns about barriers to effectiveness/ implementation.
