Comparison of Veteran experiences of low-cost, home-based diet and exercise interventions
Bree Holtz, PhD, et al.
Veterans readjusting to civilian life often struggle
to manage their weight without the structure of military
Active Duty. Home-based diet and exercise programs
may help Veterans avoid weight gain, prevent
future obesity-related chronic diseases, and manage
mental health problems. In this pilot study, Veterans
recently returned from Iraq and Afghanistan tested
three home-based exercise programs that differ in the
approach to weight loss support. Results will be used
to guide future research and clinical program development
to support Veterans struggling to maintain a
healthy lifestyle postdeployment.
