The Great Plains Internet Wellness Study for Aging
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Internet Based Wellness Program, Obesity, Adult Population
In brief
Obesity is a major public health concern in older adults, who are also one of the fastest growing populations in the United States. Engaging in healthy behaviors such as physical activity, a healthy diet, and adequate sleep have each shown to be influential in reducing obesity. The internet could be an effective tool for administering a wellness intervention for older adults. Our goal is to help older adults achieve healthy lifestyles that promote successful aging.
