BACKGROUND Digital health interventions (DHIs) are increasingly used to handle and promote positive health behaviours. Clinical measures are often used, and a certain precision is essential for DHIs to have an effect. Few studies have compared clinically measured weight to self-reported weight. No study has examined the validity of self-reported weight from a mobile app used in a tailored weight loss intervention. OBJECTIVE To analyse the agreement between clinically measured versus self-reported weight collected from a mobile health (mHealth) lifestyle coaching program during a 12-month weight loss intervention for obese patients with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D). A secondary aim was to investigate determinants for possible discrepancies between clinically measured and self-reported weight by different demographic and lifestyle factors and achievement of weight loss goals. METHODS Weight registrations were collected from participants (n=104) from a Danish RCT examining the effect of digital lifestyle intervention on weight loss among obese patients with and without T2D. Data was collected at baseline and after 6 and 12 months. Self-reported weight was measured at home and registered into the app. RESULTS Self-reported body weight was lower compared to weight measured in the clinic; 1.03 kg, p CONCLUSIONS Self-reported weight obtained from mHealth is a valid method for collecting anthropometric measurements. |
