Abstract
Objective: Obesity is one of the health threatening problems and the second preventable mortality factor, the prevalence of which is increasing. The most frequent consequence of obesity treatment among adults is weight regain; so, preventing gradual weight regain should be the first goal in this case. The present study aims at determining the predictive power of biological, psychological and social factors in maintaining weight in the overweight and the obese.
Method: Therefore, 157 obese women referred to Sina Hospital Obesity Clinic were selected by purposeful sampling method. The subjects filled out the self-report questionnaires at the beginning of the study. Then, they underwent diet and sport medicine interventions. At the end of the sixth month, weight of the subjects was measured and the weight loss was studied.
Results: Results obtained from stepwise regression analysis indicated that among the studied variables of the research, subjective weight (SW), weight cycling, state and trait anxiety, body areas satisfaction (BAS) and appearance evaluation (AE) have more predictive power in explaining weight maintenance variance and could explain successful weight maintenance by 37%.
Conclusion: The findings of the study show that weight maintenance has a positive meaningful relationship with subjective weight (SW), weight cycling, state anxiety and body areas satisfaction (BAS); also, there is a meaningful negative relationship with the said variable and trait anxiety and appearance evaluation (AE). Hence, programming for cognitive and emotional interventions is assumed necessary in clinical interventions for obesity.
