E-Health-Maßnahmen in der Adipositasprävention

Zusammenfassung

Die Bedeutung neuer Technologien und Medien in der Adipositasprävention hat in den letzten Jahren stark zugenommen. Diese richtet sich oftmals an die Zielgruppe von Kindern und Jugendlichen, da hier oftmals eine hohe Technologie-und Medienaffinität vorhanden ist.

Um die Wirksamkeit von Präventionsprogrammen gegen Adipositas und das Metabolische Syndrom zu erhöhen, sollten diese auf verschiedenen Interventionsebenen (dem Mikro-, Meso- und Community-Level) durchgeführt werden. Zudem können der Programmbezug zu einem psychologischen Model sowie die Inkorporation interaktiver Komponenten die Effektivität von Interventionsprogrammen steigern. Nutzerverhalten und Teilnahmeraten sollten hierbei kontinuierlich erfasst werden und die Kenntnis über Faktoren, die eine Implementation des Programmes erleichtern oder erschweren, kann zur Weiterentwicklung des Interventionsprogrammes beitragen.

Bisher stellten sich Familien- und Schulbasierte Adipositas-Interventionsprogramme als am effektivsten heraus. Präventionsprogramme, die das weitere soziale und lokale Umfeld („Community”) einschließen, sollten jedoch in Zukunft verstärkt wissenschaftlich untersucht werden, um anschließend in die Praxis übertragen werden zu können.

Summary

The importance of new technologies and media in the prevention of obesity has increased significantly in recent years. This depends often on the audience of children and adolescents, since a high technology and media affinity is often present.

To increase the effectiveness of prevention programmes against obesity and the metabolic syndrome, this should be at different levels of intervention carried out (the micro, meso and community level). In addition, the programme related to a psychological model and the incorporation of interactive components can increase the effectiveness of intervention programmes. User behaviour and participation rates should be recorded continuously and the knowledge of factors that facilitate or impede implementation of the programme, can contribute to the development of the intervention programme.

So far, family and school-based obesity intervention programmes effectively turned out to be the most effective. Prevention programmes that include the broader social and local environment („community”) should be studied further in the future to be subsequently transferred into practice.
