Efficacy of an Evidence-based Healthy Lifestyle Intervention for People Following CVA
The purpose of this RCT is to examine the efficacy of the Group Lifestyle Balance (GLB)
program adapted for people with stroke (CVA) on primary (weight) and secondary outcomes at 3,
6, 12 months from enrollment into the program.
program adapted for people with stroke (CVA) on primary (weight) and secondary outcomes at 3,
6, 12 months from enrollment into the program.
Weight gain greatly increases the risk of chronic diseases after stroke such as diabetes,
metabolic syndrome, pulmonary and heart disease. Approaches to weight-loss are lacking, yet
necessary, due to the unique physiological and cognitive needs of persons with CVA. There is
evidence that interventions that improve physical activity and healthy eating behaviors
concurrently offer greatest potential for weight-loss. The Group Lifestyle Balance (GLB)
intervention is a 12-month, evidence-based weight-loss program that has been used extensively
with the general population, but not with people after CVA. Investigators modified the
program to meet the needs of people post stroke (GLB-CVA).
