Scientific titleCost-effectiveness of package 3 (a supervised physical training and nutrition program) versus package 2 of the BeweegKuur a combined lifestyle intervention in the prevention and treatment of overweight
Study objectivesThe more structured and more intense supervised intervention offered in package 3 is more effective and cost-effective in assisting people with overweight and obesity to adopt a healthier lifestyle than package 2 of the BeweegKuur.
Ethics approval(s)Medical Ethics Committee of Maastricht University Medical Centre, 09/07/2010, ref: 31990.068.10
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedOverweight and obesity
InterventionExperimental program is package 3 of the BeweegKuur consisting of a physical activity and dietary program. Control program is package 2 of the BeweegKuur consisting of a physical activity and dietary program.

The physical activity program takes place in the standard, local activity facilities or (temporarily) with support of a physical therapist. The characteristics of the physical activity program depend on the BeweegKuur package followed. Package 2 and 3 differ in the amount of supervision/support provided by the physical therapist. In package 2 participants receive three sessions in which barriers for being physically active are identified and participants are supported to cope with these barriers in a plan to become physical active autonomously. The physical therapist will stimulate self-initiated activities and/or visiting local movement facilities. The physical activity program of package 3 starts with intensive support from the physical therapist. Participants will exercise under supervision of the physical therapist for 12 weeks. Goal is outflow to local facilities or independent activities following these 12 weeks, if this goal is not reached, the supervision period can be extended once with 4 weeks.

The dietary program consists of (a combination of) individual tailored advice of a nutritionist and group meetings at the nutritionist with other participants. The dietary advice is based on several Dutch guidelines (dietary guidelines diabetes [NDF, 2006], guidelines good diet [Health Council, 2006], guidlines obesity diagnosis and treatment in adults and children [CBO, 2008]). The content of the dietary advice is independent from the physical activity program.

The duration of the BeweegKuur intervention is one year for both packages. Independent of the package, the participants have five meetings with their Life Style Advisor (LSA).
Intervention typeBehavioural
Primary outcome measureModerate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in minutes per week. This is measured by means of:
1. Activity monitor at baseline, and at one year and two years after the start of the intervention
2. Self administered questionnaire International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) at baseline, six months, twelve months, 18 months and 24 months
Secondary outcome measures1. Dietary habits (short version of the ENVET) at baseline, six months, twelve months, 18 months and 24 months
2. Quality of life (EQ6-D), medication, side effects, direct and indirect costs, at baseline and every three months from baseline until 2 years of follow-up
3. Health risk, e.g. waist circumference (cm), body composition (body mass in kg, fat and fat free mass in %), diastolic blood pressure (DPB) (mmHg), systolic blood pressure (SBP) (mmHg), resting heart rate, blood values, i.e. fasting glucose (mmol/L), HbA1c (% or mmol/L), total cholesterol (mmol/L), HDL (mmol/L), triglycerides (mmol/L) and creatinin (micromol/L) and physical fitness (Astrand test, Valk neuropathy test, Timed Up and Go Test) at baseline, at one year and two years after start of the program
