CALLEJAS-GIL, Inmaculada et al. Application of new technologies in primary care to monitor overweight or obese patients with cardiovascular risk factors. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2023, vol.16, n.3, pp.260-266.  Epub 04-Mar-2024. ISSN 2386-8201.  https://dx.doi.org/10.55783/rcmf.160304.

The aim was to evaluate remote assistance (Web or App) for overweight/obese patients with two extra cardiovascular risk factors: hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, smoking, sedentary lifestyle. Design: intervention study using random assignment for Web Group and App Group. The App Group was subsequently selected. Location: urban and rural health centres, teaching and non-teaching centres, in the Zaragoza I health area. Subjects: 261 people with BMI> 25 Kg/m2 and two extra cardiovascular risk factors. Interventions: 18 months follow up, initial checkups and after 1, 6, 12 and 18 months. The primary endpoints were: weight, blood pressure, tobacco consumption, cardiovascular events, quality of life and blood tests. Results: The control group completed the study in a higher proportion (79% vs 14%). The control and intervention groups attained a loss of 8% in and 5% median weight per year, respectively. After 6 months, the control group managed to reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 7% and 5%, respectively. Glycosidic haemoglobin was 1% and 0.5% lower in the control and intervention groups, respectively (Wilcoxon Test=10; P=0.089). Both groups reduced tobacco consumption (Wilcoxon=21; P=0.03). The control group had a higher prevalence of cardiovascular events. Quality of life improved (Wilcoxon Test=979; P=0.041). Conclusion: Patients visiting health centres to monitor weight obtain better results than those remotely assisted.
